How do I update Maps on 2018 Audi A5?

[dkotoric]

I have a 2018 Audi A5 Sportback and I'm wondering how to update maps. I still have the original maps that came with the car from 2018.

Any help would be appropriated.

You wont be able to upgrade, you needed to use your 5 updates in the first 2.5 years. You will need to visit an Audi Dealer and pay lots of $$$ for the map updates. My car is 2 years old and I cannot get the free updates, this really pissed off a lot of Audi owners. Wait until you see what going to happen when they shutoff your 3G emergency call features next month...a real f-fing disaster. It will be an OBD cellular connection (always plugged in) and will placed in the storage area below the headlight switch or left knee.

I was told we're getting a free motion for Audi connect upgrade

It looks like motion for Audi connect will use a device that plugs into the OBDII port. Here are some excerpts from the TOS.

As already mentioned, you can update through the myAudi website to whatever the last version your car was eligible for (30 months after the production date). Anything more recent the. That will require a trip to the dealer for an update.

The Motion Connect is just to restore the Audi Connect services. It won’t give you any free map updates.

Do you want to give Audi all that Data?

Audi already collects all that data through the existing Audi Connect systems. They collect even more with the new HERE based MIB3 system since Audi, BMW, and MB own it and don’t have to go through Google to get the data.

Yeah the Motion thing is a OBD-II device, specifically the Gosuncn GD500. It has LTE, GPS, etc. I’ve reached out to my local dealer and can report back when I hear from them.

The Motion app is in the iOS App Store here, taken from the bottom of the informational site’s updated main page.

I think Audi USA removed the function a little while ago. They said they were going to update it but I don’t think they have.

Short answer is no. Long answer is yes but you run the very real risk of ruining the MMI system. Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, you should avoid this method.

Hmm ok, what about people charging and claiming they can unlock map updates, also are there instructions I can read through somewhere how to do it and make my own informed decision.

There are some links on this message board, I think in the A4 forum, but if you need to read the instructions I can tell you right now it's not something you should attempt. It is extremely technical and making a mistake will have very serious consequences for your car.

Thanks for the links, I was able to update my maps to at least 2020-2021 version from 2017-2018

Anyone know why the 2022 maps are double in size
