mattburrow Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 mmmm Where do I get one from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well if you've got a car less than 3 years old you'll be able to get one for free from your dealer next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 And if the car is over 3yrs old and has a retrofit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Depends on how friendly you are with your dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicblue Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 [ QUOTE ] I now have the new disk in my possession, anyone interested in an evaluation of the disk, you know what to do. [/ QUOTE ] Does the 2007 disk (aside from TMC) make any changes to the user interace - as I guess that the disk has the O/S software as well as the map and TMC data on it? It would be really great if the Nav route Waypoints show the ETA for the whole journey rather than just for the next Waypoint.....I live in hope!

craigyb Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 As you can see the new disk updates the Nav to SW0550, unfortunately I cannot test it in the A8 for TMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harddrive Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I am guessing this will work just that same in an A3 with RNS-E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yes these disks are for A2/A3/A4 and A6 (upto 2005) fitted with RNS-E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 [ QUOTE ] unfortunately I cannot test it in the A8 for TMC. [/ QUOTE ] Huh? In the A8? Aren't A8/A6/Q7 MMI discs different from RNS-E discs? I have never thought to try an RNS-E disc in the a8, but I assume it will just ignore it and ask for a navigation data disc... Have you got TMC working on your A8? It's OK, but the RAC data set only covers motorways and some trunk roads, so it does tend to blindly send you off on A roads that are just as congested as the ones it does know about. I don't know if RAC Trafficmaster are upgrading the network or what, it seems ot have been static for a while as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I meant I cannot test the disk in my A8 for functionality as it is MMI and these are RNS-E disks. I hav tested the disk for upgrading units and checking software revisions etc. MMI & RNS-E disks are completely different. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] unfortunately I cannot test it in the A8 for TMC.

Just for one second, the way you worded the pervious post made me think that either Audi had somehow managed to make a disc that worked in both systems (now there's a thought; if they're just different file names on an ISO9660 filesystem, I wonder if it's possible as long as space allows?), or you'd had a bit too much Christmas cheer!

peterb Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 No PIN required here - RS6 aftermarket installation. Jus one word of warning - I put the DVD in and paused slightly before pushing the door-close button. I panicked slightly when the door stopped part open. However, the update did continue as expected - it seems that all functions cease (except that the CD continued playing) whilst the update is in progress.
