2010 MMI
Hi all...new to forum and first post. Buying a 2010 Q7 TDI Premium Plus. Was expecting the new 3G MMI w/ 3d graphics, new interfaces/joystick, traffic/weather etc. As of a couple days ago so was my dealer/sales guy. He called me yesterday to tell me "newsflash: they're now not updating the MMI/NAV in the Q7 til 2013." Anyone else heard this or able to validate it? Seems pretty late in the game to be changing course on that and also weird since the new MMI/NAV is already in the Q5. Anyway, interested in anything anyone knows about this. Thanks!

Check this out..this is from the www.audi.ca website.
MMI navigation plus
The optional MMI navigation plus with its 3D map display provides access to the various integrated audio sources like the hard drive, DVD drive (audio/video), two SD card readers (MP3 and WMA files) and AUX-IN. Your directory with up to 2,000 entries can now also be managed extremely easily.

Check out the article posted here last year. Found it by searching BMW of all things. I remembered commenting at that time:-)

Well now that I've read that article and heard all the details about the great new functionality in the 3G MMI, I'm even more bummed that they've made a late inning decision not to put it in the 2010 Q7! Still would like to hear from someone who knows for sure that/why they made this decision.

I hadn't heard anything different from that either until my dealer called me two days ago with the news. It seemed pretty odd to me, but he said something about how they decided to wait til 2013 (which seems VERY distant) b/c that's when next significant body update will happen and it simplified some implementation issues. It all sounded very vague, but he was talking like the change in plans was fact, and I can't really see any reason he would make it up unless some of the earliest built 2010s got the older MMI and he doesn't want me to back off buying this particular car, but that seems unlikely since obviously I would find out.
I did call Audi USA today and a very nice support guy said he thought it was the 3G too but would confirm for certain and call me back...haven't heard back yet...will post what I hear when I hear.
Please do let me/us know if you are able to get any reliable confirmation one way or the other.
