Press the voice control button on your steering wheel and after the beep say "3D map"

You can also change it under Nav->Settings (while in Nav mode in the MMI, press the Setup button).

Same here. While it's cool to show off, I find I leave it on 2D all the time.

Interesting, thanks guys.

Has voice control been available since the 2005.5's, or is that new with the 3rd gen MMI?

Also, any way to determine if 2009 A4's have the 2nd or 3rd generation MMI? From what I've gathered, it seems that the earlier ones have 2nd gen, newer ones have 3rd gen.

The google earth looks awesome, but how exactly is the car getting online, i.e. the louvre info, weather, etc? And how much will it cost for service.

The 3d topigraphical will be nice so I can predict when I'll lose cell service when on the hills and mountians.

I also believe the A8 will allow up to 8 ( I think that number is right ) devices to be connected to it's hot spot (internet connection).

C'mon guys...Audi is killing everyone else in technology!!! This stuff is amazing to me. Love it!

Will any of the current Audis be able to get the next generation MMI in their cockpits? It seems like it would be so reasonable for their to be easily installed software/firmware updates to allow for this...??
