At the last AudiCare service appointment, the SA told me "we updated your software". He didn't give me any more details than that. I just looked and my MMI says HN+R_US_AU_P0487. I have a 2012 A6 P+ 3.0T. So, I am guessing that's a pretty outdated version. I've heard the newest version is 0814.

In any case, does anyone know what features/benefits/menus the newer versions of MMI offer? Is there a table or a list showing features added by version? I am fairly content with the current MMI version in my A6, but could certainly be happier if they give me a free upgrade, but I don't know what I will gain and if it's worth the hassle.

Thanks!

Yeah, your firmware is pretty old. Subsequent firmware versions primarily fix bugs and noticeable improve performance of the system. Around firmware 0699 or something like that, they added Google Street view. If you have Google Maps turned on, then you get a Google Street image on the left when close to your destination, and you can also zoom into the map and at the lowest zoom level it switches to street view. With the 0814 version they seem to have brought parity between the US firmware and the EU firmware. They added Audi Connect to the start menu and you can now control how you want to make phone calls (either over Bluetooth or using the car's SIM card).
