Hey guys,
After a super long, 1 year plus development 'journey', there are finally some great news to be shared.
A custom software that is able to turn any MMI 3G High unit into 3G+ is now complete!
If you have MMI where the version starts with HNav, you are in luck!
After the multimedia unit becomes 3G+, it will have:
But wait! Doesn't MMI 3G+ have a different hardware?
Is that it? No more downsides?
Do you have a video?
The procedure looks a bit complicated..
Can I have it done on my car?
Shout-out to long time respected member of a5oc @congo, who was following my journey for a long time, with all of it's challenges and struggles!
And finally! Here are some pictures, before and after:
p.s. this is my first post on this forum, and I hope a first of many!

Hey guys,
After a super long, 1 year plus development 'journey', there are finally some great news to be shared.
A custom software that is able to turn any MMI 3G High unit into 3G+ is now complete!
If you have MMI where the version starts with HNav, you are in luck!
After the multimedia unit becomes 3G+, it will have:
1. Bluetooth music, not just calls. These will also display track names on MMI and on the cluster.
2. Ability to play video from SD card.
3. Better, more recent & beautiful interface.
But wait! Doesn't MMI 3G+ have a different hardware?
Yes indeed it does, and that's the whole point. This special software is able to run MMI 3G+ code on the MMI 3G High hardware.
There are, however, some small downsides:
1. MMI 3G High has only 40GB hard drive space (versus 60GB), this means, your jukebox size will be reduced.
2. MMI 3G High has no WiFi module, therefore WiFi will not be available.
Is that it? No more downsides?
Yes, that is it! Every other feature works just like an original 3G+ unit.
Do you have a video?
Yes! However, the video is quite long, and may be a bit boring to watch.
It shows a full conversion being done to a A6 C6 car, however, the car model here does not matter, as all cars that have MMI 3G High from the factory are supported.
Here is a link to a sped up conversion video: https://youtu.be/4lyDeXug4DY
The procedure looks a bit complicated..
The video shows a procedure from an early development/release version of the software.
In the current version, there are pretty much no steps and or specialist tools required, apart from inserting an sd card and clicking few buttons in the engineering menu.
Can I have it done on my car?
Sure! That is the point of this thread!
If you are passionate about your car and want to give it a little upgrade, this is a perfect opportunity.
I am looking for more users outside of my country to test this software and provide feedback/suggestions.
My car is korean/japan/china import, can I still get it done?Yes! If your unit looks like this, it can be upgraded!
Look for text that says H_KR or H_JP or H_CN
