Default Just updated 2006 MMI to latest - What's new?

My car still had the original MMI software. Tonight I did the two step update to the latest version. It took a couple of hours but there were no problems. Also installed the latest Nav disk.

So other than the altitude display on the GPS, the ability of the DSP to remember its settings and the loss of the battery level meter, are there any other changes or new features?

Also - any one in CT who would like to borrow the disks please let me know. You can borrow them at no cost, I just want them back when you are done.

You can restore the battery level meter, as well as viewing the climate control in the MMI screen (if yours disappeared after the update like mine did).

So... Where did you get the discs and how much? Also, can somone explain - does the lawyer screen disappear completely or does it appear briefly when you are dialing the phone while moving???? Does someone have the version numbers or a screenshot of the version screen I can compare?

The startup lawyer screen was deleted effective MY 2007, so when you do the MMI update beyond 2006 it is removed. Whoever, IIRC, a warning does appear when attempting to use the navagation, but not the phone. You can purchase the MMI discs from www.genuineaudiparts.com, or try to borrow them from another Audi owner near you.

Hi ScwarzS6, I need that same two step update would you be willing to let me borrow them. I am in Mass, I will pay for shipping both ways and throw in a thank you gift. PM me and let me know.

Where I can find the updates for my 2005 A6? And How I can check if I have the latest software?

The part numbers for the disks you need are in the MMI sticky at the top of the forum. You can order them from genuinevwaudiparts.com for less than $8.00 each. If when you start your car the lawyer screen with the "Accept" button pops up then you have the original software. The newer software shows a much more graphically pleasing Audi logo splash screen.

How do you restore climate control in MMI?
