Links to the latest versions of firmware and map update (with activator)

Firmware, in order:

0031_3 - https://mega.nz/#!0QMzmBrY!dvXVnAimkFaiNBqt_W49XYVAQdHstOJC39Q5exO8g0w
0206_3 - https://mega.nz/#!JU8VTaCC!BFFwWdE-x2Tlj8ZsWG69LOGw2dW4QJBhsHRm3H5IN50
0253 - https://mega.nz/#!YY80DSrB!j5mO0eJ5-3H9EKKP3CjyHZAuDxxENEhPnnHyNgwBu7Y
0257_6 - https://mega.nz/#!YB8kDBbZ!IF9dUHoNIb5gS2MvBaPCEQRgyU2lC6_mot5_F9mric8

Firmware, full package to 0257_6:

https://mega.nz/#!cZsBHKBI!-PkGxY8is1hAs-QVbiUfN4A-J0YkVd-qT00M_fEL2jE

There is unlikely to be any further firmware update for 3G from Audi so if you've updated to 0257_5 or 0257_6 you won't need to do it again.

If you don't have/can't get access to VCDS and need to activate the green menu you can use the following script from Congo's 3G+ thread [ Green menu activation ]

1. Unzip and copy to 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

I haven't used it, but it appears plenty have :)

2017 maps version 6.24.2 and FSC activator - PLEASE NOTE - this package is ONLY suitable for 3G and not 3G+/3GP so if your firmware version doesn't match the style indicated in the instructions do not bother downloading this file, as it's been cut down to make the download smaller and so it'll fit on a 32GB SD card without issues.

https://mega.nz/#F!VRdjVJ7S!63opUL3IAdSrTiRY2IXuVQ

There are 2 folders - 1 contains the map files and the other the activator - they need to be copied to separate SD cards.

For facelift cars with 3G+/3GP see this thread for correct links - don't muddle them up as it doesn't go well.....

Update instruction guide below - this one is a better layout than the one I produced a couple of years ago, and covers firmware updating etc

https://mega.nz/#!YU81xLIA!5HdPIKX6inbzA02hiML6jcfKQI8-AIvcvbgWH-hNo0g

PLEASE NOTE - THESE ARE FOR EUROPE, NOT ROW OR NA and I cannot help with questions about where to find them.

I recommend using JDownloader to grab the links and WinRAR for extracting the archives when finished downloading. If you hit the download limit from Mega and don't want to pay for premium downloads I can recommend using the Opera browser, which has a built in VPN tool so all you need to do is switch location and it will allow you to continue downloading. You do lose the option to use JDownloader if you go that route.

These files are from a variety of sources, so credit due to all those who compile and make available :grin2:

Cheers

Adrian

an update should be downloaded, extracted and applied.
if you have to do more than on update, you will have to download, extract and apply the 1st one you need. after this process has been completed, you can download, extract and apply the 2nd.
in other words, keep them apart.
and it does not matter how many folders, etc. there are in one update.

Hello,

Thanks for the information you provide in the forum.

I have a little problem after I upgrade the firmware, first I used 0253 and when it was finished I applied the 0257_6. So after that the interior mirror doesn't work fine the mirror dimming it's very sensitive so all mirrors get black with normal light.

I have checked if it's working and it works because if I block the sensor it gets normal.

Any help?

Thanks very much for your help

PS: I have an Audi Q5 but it uses the same Navi MMI3G HDD

Hi Fred

I understand that, but the problem is - when I extract the 1st upgrade there are 2 folders names 1 and 2.

If you can see the image I shared above this is shown. Within 1 and 2 there are certain repeated folders so it's not just a case of copy-pasting the contents of both into the root of the SD card as there will be overlap.

So the question is, in the 1st upgrade folder, do I install the contents of folder 1 then 2, or 1 and 2 together or 1 or 2?

Thanks
Wilks

when you have downloaded and extracted one update, you have one or more files and one or more folders.
you have to copy those files and folders - exactly as they are - to the SD-card.
so, you don't copy one folder over the other, keep them as they are.
so, you will not overwrite the contents of one folder with the contents of the other. in fact you don't need to know what is inside the folders.

Green Screen

Dear all,

Does anybody know, at which firmware version you lose the green screen, which is needed to remove the old Navi DB partition? And I if it is possible to use the green screen enabler script on the MMI High if I am at version K257 firmware?

Kind Regards,

Tom

And in case of trouble, anyone with VCDS/VAG-Com cable and software available in the region Gent, Belgium?

edit: you can use the green screen activator on the K257_6 firmware on the MMI 3 high system.

I`m no expert, but I heard it would be a cumulative update, 257_5. But if I´m wrong, it shouldn´t hurt you more than 20 minutes to first install 0253 and then go on to 257. So it´s still up to you. Youre choices are missing out on something covered in 0253, or taking the extra risk in installing the 0257 at once. Keep us posted on your doings, as it can only help the community...


Kind regards,
Tom

As the 1st post says, RTFM. Very clear in the manual. Use jdownloader. You will be limited to 3Gb at a time. Just unplug your modem, and after it restarts, use the restart on jdownloader. If you have a decent internet connection, it shouldn´t take more than 2 hours to download everything you need.

Kind regards,

Tom

P.S. Just pushed my first update, succesfully... now copying the second...

Installing K257_D1_5, thank you very much Adrian. Saves me €muchos from the stealers.. Hope I can get to the green menu....

OK Installed all updates from old 2009 version without any problems, enabled green screen using green screen activator script in Congo´s post (might be handy to put in the first post of this thread). Now taking the risk in installing maps....

Also, since Samsung pushed the android 6.0.1 update, my car couldn´t read my phonebook anymore; this problem is solved with firmware K257_6 :)

2017 Maps installed; activated OK!

Thanks in advance for al your hard work Adrian and Congo!

Any difference in the Japanese spec 3g+ MMI system? Surely this can just have its firmware overwritten with a ROW firmware?

First of all you need to go to the right thread as this is only for 3G high

You have firmware first, the "error" screen appears for updating to a modern version without first going through older versions.Please 1 in 1 each firmware and you will have no error

Thanks for the replies, I've tried K0206 and it still says I need a different update. Which firmware is P0029? As it seems K0206 is still too new (the numbers don't correspond) I think I need K0031 which I think I read somewhere is P0029, but I don't want to just try and update without being sure, in case I break it

Worked it out, K0257 is an update for any version you have, so I've gone with that one. It's part way through at the moment, although it's just given an error message on the DVD drive update...will see what happens
