Default Does this work outside the USA?

I'm in Belgium and when trying to create an account I don't get past the "enter VIN"

Audi charges 250€ for an update here in Belgium

Thanks in advance for your replies

I just took delivery of an '18 S5 and want to get the full update but don't see an option on Audi online. Where can I find the page to download everything to HD/SD card? Thanks.

Audi, in its ultimate wisdom, has stopped posting the Whole GPS update on-line. You now can download “regional” updates, via your in-car MMI, based on where you are, and that’s if your “free updates” haven’t expired (5 free updates whether you download them or not). Your other option - buy the update license from an Audi dealer.

Just curious, what does that update license cost? I bet it is not worth it considering the car has Apple CarPlay...

I'm french and I cannot download the last 2020 map, my 5 free update are terminate (A5 11/2016). When you talk about 250€ for update is it the price of only 1 update? Is it possible to subscribe another 5 updates? Thanks and sorry for my English

Another question, sorry I can't edit my last post.
If I purchase an audi connect subscription, can I update my map "free"?
Thanks again

As far as the “how” of map updates in countries other than the USA, my only suggestion is to contact your local regional Audi office in your respective countries for how they implement map updates or your local Audi dealers.

The map policies likely vary significantly between countries. As John said best bet contact the dealer. Having said that, a free solution is to pull up Google maps or WAZE (if available in France) on the phone and display on the MMI, let the Audi map show in the VCD. Advantage - Google maps, or WAZE is contemporaneous it will show current traffic, accidents etc. If your car has headup display the turns from the Audi map will show on the windscreen.

Unless it is different depending on region, the car maps will not display or allow turn by turn when you have Carplay active. They certainly don't work in the States. It simply shows a compass for me.

Audi agreed seems to be international!
