These are the required files and folders for Map 6.36.0 with 32GB SD card. Thanks to @JulianHicks for creating the lists.
See "3GP_Filelist.txt" (3GP) and "3GH_Filelist.txt" (3G High) attachments in this post.

You might need GEM (Green engineering menu) activated and use User Defined Mode and manually select all that is under AUDI_MMI3G_ECE if it's not selected.

Warning - FW update K0900 is removing the "Emergency Update" option from the "Green Menu". There is a way that this can be fixed.

• Emergency menu activation on K0900 firmware. [ Only for A5OC ]
• To enable the Green Menu you could use VCDS, VAS or the following script [ Green menu activation ]
• 03623 [ 03623 Remove ]
  1. Unzip it on the SD card.
  2. Put the sd card in the MMI.
  3. When prompted press the center knob.
  4. After the script is done you will see confirmation screen.
  5. Remove the SD card and reboot MMI

Do not use MAC to unpack and/or copy the files to the SD card.

Q&A section

Here are some of the questions raised by the forum members about the update process that I might failed to explain in the manual.

Q. Do i need VCDS to do the update?
A. No, you need VCDS only to clear some errors after the update but the MMI will function correctly even if you don’t clear them out.

Q. I have a Bang & Olufsen sound system not a Bose. Does this also mean that i need to exclude it?
A. Yes, better not to update the DSP system.

Q. Do I need to format the hard drive?
A. You only need to format the hard drive if performing a region change.

Q. I have mmi 3gp , version P0XXX can i go straight to K0942?
A. Yes.

Q. If the Google Maps option is greyed out...
A. Reinstall the GEMMI_nav component from the K0942.

Q. 01043 - Control Module; Incorrect Software Version - How can i solve this ?
A. Restart the MMI and remove the key from ignition then put it back in. The error should change from 01043 - Control Module; Incorrect Software Version to 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management.

Q. What does the new firmware bring in terms of added functionality?
A. Not much, apart from K0770/K0767 fixing the issues with the SIM data connection and Bluetooth usage at the same time.

Q. What are 03276 and 03175, will they affect the MMI in anyway and how can they be avoided?
A. 03276 - Please Check Software Version Management will appear every time when the software is updated w/o VAS connection to the VW/Audi servers.
03175 - Invalid Data Set will appear when updating the map w/o deleting it first. Sometimes this helps to avoid that error.
They will not affect the functionality or the sound characteristics of the MMI.

Q. Is there a way to use used defined mode w/o "Green Menu"?
A. Yes. In file metainfo2.txt in the root folder if you remove the line "MetafileChecksum=XXXXXX" and add
EnableUserDefinedSWDLMode = "true"
skipMetaCRC = "true"
the you will be able to use the user mode w/o the green menu.

Q. I get error code 140 during the update process.
A. Error code 140 is related to HDD write errors, multiple retries are generally successful.

Q. I get error code 150 during the update process.
A. Error code 150 is a "write" error, associated with a read-only or no-space-left on the HDD partition.

Q. I get error code 160 during the update process.
A. Error code 160 usually means the Update process cannot find the SOURCE file on the SD card to install on the HDD. So, recheck your SD card and make sure it contains the correct folders and contents.

Warning - At no stage I take responsibility of your actions or any of my notes that may mislead you. Therefore, and like my all other documents I say “use at your own risk”.

Does this map work on A4 B8 2011 MMI 3G High with firmware "0257_6" (not updated yet)
or is this 2020 map best for now?
You have 3G High system.
Do NOT delete the CTY folder,need that folder.

Need to delete LIT3GP 1- 5 .

My HW: MMI 3G+ (HN+_EU_AU3G_K0942_3) Audi q5 (8R) sound b&o

Before i progress with Map update (as usual), could somebody confirm successful instalation of "Map Europe 2021" from 32GB SD card (deleting pkgdb/LIT, LIT2,3,4 and this time additionaly pkgdb/LIT3GP, LIT3GP2,3,4) to MMI 3G+ ?

Maybe @congo, as expert, can you answer on my doubts this time:
  1. Why is this time file name of sources 8R0051884HQ and not 8R0060884HQ (DBInfo.txt file has the right identification PartNumber="8R0060884HQ" # mandatory 11 characters)? Wrong source link for HN+ ?
  2. Empty 32GB SD has 31,9 G-bytes space, so current Map (with deleted LIT, 2-4) has size 32,2G-bytes (previos Release 8R0 060 884 HF - 6.31.1 20202021 MMI 3G HighPlus Europe 20202021 was just bellow limit). How will be upgrade procedure in the future with more and more Map content? Does somebody has experience with 64G SD card?
  3. What is the functionality connected with LITx and LIT3GPx files, which should be deleted?

Thx

Thx for instructions 2,3 (CTY is the new candidate for deletion!)
About Question 1: For me it is this time strange naming of files on Mega : 8R0051 insted of usual 8R0060 - i was not sure if i have downloaded the right package following instructions on top:
Map & activator:
8R0 060 884 HQ - 6.32.1 2021 MMI 3G High/Plus Europe [Link on Mega (use 7z/7zip to open the files)] Password: 8R0051884HQ

Hello
I have installed FW 942_4, then maps 6.31.1. Then I have downloaded the 6.32.1 maps and wanted to write them. So that I don't get any DTCs I have activated the Green Menu, followed the entire erase process for the maps/format hdd. I have tried to install 6.32.1 and I can only install STANDARD and no custom install, and by standard it has only installed : MapStyles and TMCConfig, AUDI_MMI3G_ECE and NaviPersistence were (standard) selected to "N" and can't change that. Did the update but no joy. Then I erased again database and deleted nav partition, reinstalled 6.31.1, work like a charm, BUT when I inserted card with 6.32.1 now I get NO updates. I can only install standard, no custom, and as standard, all options are preselected with "N" ! What am I doing wrong ?! How can I install 6.32.1 ? Then, on another subject I get these 2 DTCs : 03276 - Checking Software Version Management and 03623 - Release Code Faulty.
Also tried to follow instructions for clearing 03276, by going to system 5F Information Electronics, channel 15 etc but can't write the values I obtained recalculating the count value and storing/saving the new value, but I can't write, this Channel ...
Any ideas ?
Thank you !!

Hi,
I know the topic is about 3GP/3G+, but from the content of the post I assume, that these maps are compatible with 3G High as well, quoting some parts of the post:
Map & activator:
6.32.1 2021 MMI 3G High/Plus Europe [Link on Mega (use 7z/7zip to open the files)] Password: 8R0051884HQ
and
You might need GEM (Green engineering menu) activated and use User Defined Mode and manually select all that is under AUDI_MMI3G_ECE if it's not selected.

Note: For update of 3GHigh remove the LIT3GP folders instead.
I have latest (0257_6) firmware for 3G High and installed these maps. Installation run smoothly, no problems here. However none of the activators, found on this and various other (3G High related) topics works. I tried Vlasoff, Keldo, Darkdll but none of them worked. FSC based, that are run from Engineering menu, execute, but nothing happens after restart, the rest, that should work on any screen, after everything has booted, do nothing, I see no confirmation screen, whatsoever.
I also tried several SD cards - 1GB, 16GB, 64GB, all formatted as FAT32. I still get "Navigation data blocked" kind of message.
As I browse the forum, a lot of people are in similar situation and I failed to find working solution, so I any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

For MMI 3GH 6.32.1 if you can not find any activator, download the 6.30.1 map update your system, it has activator (I have used what you can find in the link).
Than delete the 6.30.1 map, and install the new 6.32.1 than you will not need to activate.
You can try this.

Hello fans!

I successfully updated my MMI 3GP to the latest maps 6.32.1 - using user defined mode - everything works on my MMI and I am able to see the map when I open the navigation application. (before the update I deleted the NAVdatabase and partition from the Green Menu). But for some reason the GPS is not active, I mean the it is not showing my actual position on the map and the GPS maps are not "moving" when I am changing location/driving, instead it show my last stored location where I was before the update. In addition to this issue, I can enter a new target address and also the app says that "my route has been calculated" but nothing appears on the map - no blue line to follow, etc.... basically nothing happens. I have a feeling that the NAvigation app does not read the data form GPS receiver.

I tried the activator from Keldo, which tells me that it is already installed.

I can see in the green menu that the GPS receiver works, if I am moving/driving the '"textual" coordinates (in the Green Menu /nav/ submenu) are changing... so the GPS receiver is not broken. Still maybe the activation was not successfull?

My Firmware is HN+R_EU_AU_K0942 Stock firmware.

Is there any tips/hints? what can I do? Shall I try to uninstall the activator? or any other idea? is there and activator uninstaller script available somewhere?


Thanks in advance.

Peti.

Hi Peti,

If you only update map database you don't need any activation.
How many satellites can the car see, in the green menu?

After map update, my location was at the Atlantic Ocean, and after 100m drive it showed my position.
It was not so accurate, sometimes I was driving on a parallel road, but after a reboot, everything worked fine.

Kind regards,

Balazs

For Mac users:

Here is how I did prepare the SD card from a Mac.
The upgrade did complete successfully and is working fine.

1. First the normal stuff: download maps, extract files and remove the unneeded files ,so it can fit into the SD Card

2. Install BlueHarvest from App Store (16 EUR)
Follow the instructions from BlueHarvest
And then change preference for “Non Mac Disks” to “Ask what to do"

3. Use “Disk Utility”+“Edit”+“Erase” to format a 32 GB SD card as MS-DOS (FAT)
When BlueHarvest prompts for action on the SD card, select “Keep Clean”

4. Copy the extracted files and folders, to the SD card

5. When copy has completed, access BlueHarvest in the Menu and select “Clean and Eject” of the SD card

6. Now Ready to start the MMI upgrade

PS: This can also be done without BlueHarvest and instead with a script to save the 16 EUR, but I didn’t find time for it.

Hello,

Downloading 6.32.1 now, thanks for the torrent/magnet.

This will be I think my 4th upgrade, but I just wanted to check 2 things:
1: My firmware is K900 stock - is that still OK - no need for me to upgrade to 942?
2: Obviously I've got the activator installed when I did my first upgrade. There are now several activators floating about, but if I have one working (installed back when 6.24 was new I think) is that still OK i.e. I only need to do the user defined update of the maps as per homarc's manual and not touch any activators?

Just trying to ensure that 6.32 is "just" a map update and does not require anything else for me.

Thanks again.
 
#40 ·
Hi,
to answer your questions:
1) Yes, the K900 is enough for the update (I am using the same FW and I completed this update 3 weeks ago with no problems)
2) If you have successfuly activated the maps on previous updates, you don´t need to change the activator - the activator changes the behavior of th FW, not the maps, so you are good to go.
