I took mine in yesterday and there wasn't a MMI update for my 2012. I asked to see if there was an update for the 2013 and they said that they would have to run a VIN to see.
I'd love to add the Google Street View if it's available for the 12's. I passed on a 13 to buy a 12 at a good deal. I really wish I would have bought a 13 now.

BasicSlvr thanks for the screen shot - it was helpful. To confirm do you have a 2012 A7 Prestige (or a model with Bose)? And what does your iPhone cable look like? Here's the latest when I pressed the issue with Audi Dallas.
"The update you referenced was originally written for the European market, I’m told. It allows for more features with an iPod/phone, including some additional level of graphics I believe. The software is available here, and it might work on your car. I am told the primary application is for the B&O system, but I am frankly not positive. The other catch is that the cable from car-to-phone must be updated as well. That cable is about $75. That is the most current information I have right now. I can schedule this for you. I believe it will take about an hour."

TSB for Speakers
I have been looking on line and can not find them.
Does anyone have the TSB for the center console and door speaker rattle they can pass along?
Thanks,
Sully

All -
Got my 2012 A7 Prestige w/ Bose into Audi of Dallas last week and received the MMI update. There is actually a newer version (K0566) which can be applied. It was apparently released on 10/25/2012 to the dealers.
Attaching the highlights of what it covers.

While a later MMI software might be necessary, it's possible that Google Street View is available automatically from Google through AudiConnect. (I have PO566 in my 2013 A6)
To use Street View:
Press MMI **** to enter map scroll mode
Using the keypad, scroll the map and center the crosshairs on a road that you know has Street View as in Google Maps available on your laptop or home computer
If you see a yellow icon of a person in the map scale section on the MMI screen, zoom in using the MMI **** closer than 30M. (There are at least two levels of zoom in Street View)
You will then see the street view; scroll the camera around and move it along the street by tapping the on screen arrows using the keypad
Notes:
When you press the MMI ****, it doesn't position the crosshairs on your current position but on the center of the map.
I believe you must have VIM enabled to activate Street View if the car is moving; Street View will not follow the car as it moves.
