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”.

Hey guys. Yesterday I upgraded to K 0942 successfully. I am trying to upgrade my maps with the 2021 files attached to this topic and when extracting the files to my SD card I get a password error. Even though, I tried to upgrade maps with the resulting files and I wasnt able to. Any help here please?

Hi All,

I have just updated my Audi A4 B8 2014 MMI 3G+ (no Bose or B&O audio) from factory install HN+_EU_AUG_P0782 to K0942 and NAV database 8R0060884BT ECE 6.19.3 to 8R0060884HQ ECE 6.32.1. Successfully activated with the Vlasoff 6.22.4 activator. The firmware was the modified version and used the standard option for installation without erasing old maps. Did not activate the green menu (yet) because no need for it at the moment. Everything went smoothly and everything is functional. I have checked all the menus. The handbook does not work.
Do not have VAG//VCD to check for errors but really do not care since everything works fine. I have used Sandisk Extreme 32 SDHC for the maps and SanDisk Ultra 16 for the FW (no micro SD).

Big thanks to Congo for putting this very clear and easy to follow instructions, links and knowhow from all the supportive members of the community!

Hello all, I am new to this forum just got a used A4 2011 (prefacelift) with updated firmware and maps.
The unit states it has hnav_eu_k0206_3_d1 ece 5.12.5
Just want to check the order of updates needed to update firmware to latest version and to confirm if this map is the correct one for my model.
I have downloaded the firmware packages from Adrian E (B8 firmware package to 0257_6) from: MMI 3G navigation 6.24.2 Europe and firmware updates -...
Do i need to first update to 0253 then to 0257_6 ?
As for the maps i have downloaded Audi HNav Map 2021 6.32.1 8R0060884HQ (from the first page of this tread)
Do i need to remove LIT3GP (i have already prepared the SD card and the whole package fits without a problem on the 32GB card)
Is this map adequate for my MMI 3G high and do i need to use any activator for it.
Also i do not have VCDS but i could borrow it during the week if I have to do any work on it.
FYI
No special sound system is installed i think (dvd in front, changer in glovebox) but i have a subwoofer on the rear shelf dont know if that makes a difference

Thank you all in advance.

Hi people,

Need some help... I think I messed my maps... :(

And yes! I have searched this and other foruns for solutions but what I found did not solve the problem...


I own a VW GOLF that went for some fixing and got an AUDI A4 TDI (2011) to use for about 1 month.

As I travel a lot and the maps were very old (6.20.4) I wanted to upgrade just the maps, not the FIRMWARE as I saw a post where a user asked if it was necessary to also update the firmware and the answer was NO.

I downloaded the maps and activator from post #1, prepared 2 SD's (FAT32) and copied the ACTIVATOR to one SD and the MAPS to another.

Here I think I must have switched the SD's and ended up instaling the activator BEFORE the new map version... :(

Now I can't install the new maps and the old ones don't work either as I have a "THE NAVIGATION DATA IS BLOCKED" error after a couple of minutes use.

Just need to UNINSTALL the ACTIVATOR and have old maps working again as I have to return the A4 meanwhile...
(a quick look at the activator install script shows that a backup is done for a future uninstall so probably there is a script to do just that?)

I found one uninstaller (Keldo) but it did nothing, probably not the correct one for this activator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

have a great weekend!

Luis

Software: HNAV_EU_K0257_5_D1
Maps: 8R0060884CH ECE 6.20.4


UPDATE #1 - Made some code and I think I reverted part of the activator...
I was able to recover the original mmelauncher.cfg to its right place (/etc) and deleted mme-becker.sh from /sbin (I had no backup for this file!).
After reboot the Jukebox is working fine once more but navigation still with "THE NAVIGATION DATA IS BLOCKED" error.

I have the Activation Code, Activation Number and PIN for these maps (6.20.4 - 2015). Anyway to activate it using an SD card?

Or an activator for this version?



UPDATE #2 - Today I downloaded the files below and installed just the map. Firmware is still the same.

6.32.1 2021 MMI 3G High/Plus Europe [Link on Mega (use 7z/7zip to open the files)] Password: 8R0051884HQ

All ok but can't activate the maps (NAVIGATION DATA IS BLOCKED).

Wrong activator? Do I need to install the latest firmware (HNav_EU_K0257_6_D1) for the activator to work?

Thanks again!



UPDATE #3 - Solved! 6.32.1 maps and jukebox working 100%! :)

Hi,

Get the two attached files and place them on the root of the SD card containing the activator.

Replace the contents of the run.sh file with this:

#!/bin/ksh

#remount SD as rw
DRVS="sd0 sd1"
for i in $DRVS ; do
if [ -d /fs/$i ] ; then
if [ -e /fs/$i/upd ] ; then
mount -u /fs/$i
mount -u /fs/$i
SDCARD=/fs/$i
echo remount $SDCARD
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SDCARD/utils
fi
fi
done

runtstamp=date +"%m/%d/%Y ""%T"

echo -ne "$runtstamp - Installation Start\r\n" >> $SDCARD/install.log
$SDCARD/utils/showScreen $SDCARD/screens/scriptStart.png
cd $SDCARD
/bin/mount -uw /mnt/efs-system

/bin/cp -f $SDCARD/mmelauncher.cfg.txt /etc/mmelauncher.cfg
/bin/chmod 777 /etc/mmelauncher.cfg

/bin/cp -f $SDCARD/mme-becker.sh.txt /sbin/mme-becker.sh
/bin/chmod 777 /sbin/mme-becker.sh

echo -ne "$runtstamp - Installation successful\r\n" >> $SDCARD/install.log
$SDCARD/utils/showScreen $SDCARD/screens/scriptDone.png
/bin/rm -f /tmp/copie_scr.sh
echo > /tmp/copie_scr.sh

-Run the activator again.
-Reboot the MMI

Everything should be working now, including the Jukebox.

Hope it helps! Mine was OK after this. My only difference is that I don't have the latest firmware, it is one version below.

rgds,
Luis

Hello I was searching for answers but didn't find them. Maybe I am missing something.
First of all, I am new here. I own Audi Q5 2017/18. It comes with preparation for navigation that needs to be activated but due now I haven't needed it, but I am planning to activate it in the near future.
But now, first of all I would like to update of the MMI software to the latest version because like I have been told that with the current version of my MMI there are available for download only maps from 2016 and l would like newer ones.
Here are my MMI information: Software version : 0771 Media driver : 1.2.0 Telephone driver: 2121

In advance, sorry that I have posted in this thread, but I found it most appropriate for the latest firmware updates.

Best regards.

Hi guys!
First comment here on the forum.
Today I bought a 2012 Audi A1 S-line and noticed that I can't connect to my phone via bluetooth.
I tried several mobile phones, reset the radio and still the bluetooth does not find any device.
Any tips? Do you think I should update to this version that this post for download? Thanks

@congo have there been any reported issues with online traffic?

Or has anyone else had online traffic issues?

I have my Audi license for it, but if I check it I get an error that the query cannot be processed and I cannot activate it either.

I also get an error on the map. And as per the above screenshot I only get TMC and not online in the bottom left.
180724


Yes my SIM in the car has data available, the in car WiFi works fine, as did Google Earth till a couple of weeks ago when it was turned off again by Google.

Hi, I have a 2016 Q5 that is enroute from Japan. I know from Erwin that it has a 3G High MMI. I only want to upgrade the firmware from Japan to (preferably) Australia/NZ or Europe. I know it is not possible to change the maps as it is a Japan only nav. I intend to fit a carplay adapter for navigation etc. I have read Congo's manual and I think I get it, but I would appreciate clarification on these points:
1/Download and install HN+R_EU_AU_K0942 Modified firmware - Green Menu enabled / User Defined Mode / No Sound systems . Is this the right firmware?
2/ Will I need to make any changes in the User Defined...or is the B&O already deleted. I have B&O audio.

Hi, hopefully someone can help me please. I last updated my maps in 2019 (via this site) and now trying to do it again.

When I came to updating the firmware (using HN+_EU_AU3G_K_0942 , car is a B8 S5) I get error message: "A variant conflict occurred! Main unit variant: 9307. Release info variant: 9498"

From the engineering menu i have:
Train Version: K0257
MU Software: 0187
EB Label: AU_MMI3G_11320P (when I google that, it confirms I have 3G high with HDD)

When I check the thread for MMI 3G basic it lists firmware 8R0 906 961 DK – BNav_EU_K0257_2_D which contains K0257, but that is obviously for the basic nav. So no idea why I have train version K0257.

I 100% have the HNav (3G high with hard drive) so now I'm confused as to what firmware I need?

Cheers!
