Hey guys, just looking into upgrading my 2006 A8 MMI 2G from version 1190 to the latest version. Mainly because my car doesn't have the SD cards that my A4's RNS-E has and all I have is satellite radio. I'm considering adding AMI but my f/w is too old. Firmware Versions. To see the latest firmware version available for your region click here. The Upgrade procedure. Unload your CD player of all disks. The Audi manual on this says that a backup power source should be connected to your battery, instead of this most people just leave the engine running. Turn the ignition on and wait for the new disk to be recognized by Audi MMI 2G system. When asked (“New navigation software is available. Install?”), confirm that you want to update navigation database. Wait couple minutes for the software to be installed.
Audi MMI 2G maps update is performed with a DVD stored navigation database. Maps update procedure is simple, does not require any diagnostic tools what so ever.
