Hi all,
I can't imagine that a software update won't be possible as there would be no need for any additional hardware, all needed prerequisite are there. The Carplay menu is not appearing, only because it is not yet activated by Audi. For sure, there were still lots of bugs in the software to solve before they activate it for the public.
Another witness example which I found it in Audi Connect proofs that they're not finish yet with their MMI software:
If you want to use all Audi Connect services you have to do following steps below:
- go to your local audi web site /myaudi and create an account there
- Verify your account where then you should get a pdf online tells you that this is the contract between you and Audi with a contract number etc...
- after you've done this, you need to install audi connect app on you smartphone and use the previous credentials on myAudi account to login to your Audi Connect app
- connect your smartphone to your car bluetooth
- start the application audi connect app and be sure that it is connected via bluetooth to your MMI
- Now, Audi claims as follow:
1- after you've prepared what I've wrote up, you need to start Audi Connect in your car show all available services in Audi Connect (do this in the car) and push the right click button on your touch pad
2- search for user management to enter your myAudi username AND the code you've got with your keys **** volks, this menu doesn't show up at all, I can't put in the code which is on the plastic key - all what I can do is to login using MMI to the myAudi account either with myAudi username and password or myAudi PIN and them both connected which is not enough to get all services activated! be aware that myAudi PIN is not the same as the code you've got on your plastic key.
Audi is doing here a miserable job, advertising big for functions which don't work or don't even exist for customers who buy care over 100K dollars! They deliver you a code, request from you to enter it in your MMI but you can't
Anyway, I am excited about what the guy will tell you regarding the update...
