Just picked up my 2006 A8 from the dealer. What version of the MMI software am I running? Can I upgrade the version I have now?

Thanks for any help.

It is different than mine but it looks like 1190 and it can be upgraded.

If you obtain the correct CD sets, you can run this yourself providing you follow the procedure to the letter.
Make sure you have a battery charger which gives at least 5amp charge, connected throughout - connection must be to the + terminal of the battery and to the ground post which is visible above the left hand end of the battery. Do not connect anything directly to the - (negative) terminal of the battery itself.

For the upgrade - there are many recent posts including the correct procedure - save to say - make sure everything other than the MMI is off and do not even open the door - keep the door open with the latch closed to turn off ALL ancillary items and do not operate anything electrical.

Allow a good couple of hours for the upgrade and remove all additional CD's from the changer before starting.
