Sebastian1985 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi there I am just new here, I bought an A6 Saloon from 2007 at a very very good price and so far everything is working perfect, all smooth, I feel like in a spaceship I am so happyyyy. Apologies for my message but I am really happy with my "new" car. I know some people here have 2015-16 models and think there is no need to be that happy but don't really care :).

Dan3222 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Welcome to the forum..... gloat away. Mine is a 2006 and I love it. Pulls like a train, everything works and my ex wife thinks it worth loads more money than it is. Win win lol. Only down side is my partner (lady in blue) says all Audi drivers are idiots!! Something I can live with 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian1985 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Dan & Steve, So happy to hear that and also that you share the same entuziasm :) I am really amazed with the car. I looked for the 2.0 engine to keep a low consumption, low insurance, tax road etc but the damn car have a monster under the hood and is so smooth even if I rev up to 3500-4000... I feel like Jason Statham but with more hair ;)))) Is not my first car, not at all but is my first serious and real car... I am still trying to read on the internet what all those buttons do, mirror button, another button another button OMG !!! :))) I know I will have to update the MMI if is correct said as is showing the red screen and no map juat the voice saying left right in 200 yards etc but I am still at the reading step how to, when, where... I am more excited to drive this car now than I was at my first VW golf 3 when I passed my driving test 10 years ago...:))) Thank you for the welcome message guys and hope to be of any help if needed and also share with you how's the weather in Portsmouth at this stage ;)))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 As i Say, we all lives Audis here and we are all passionate about the brand! The a6 is a cracker by car and so glad your pleased with it :) If the weather here in Leicester is anything to go by then it will be rain, rain, rain in Portsmouth!

Sebastian1985 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thank you all for the warm welcomes, really appreciated... I will look for a post/topic already open for the mmi and will let you know how it went upgrading mine... I have downloaded a torrent of 4gb and hopefully it's all there step by step, I just need to buy cd/dvd's and burn them without my gf to know as she thinks that upgrading the android on the phones is illegal, imagine telling her to do this to the car :)))) just kidding, she just said don't touch anything cause I know you, but can't stop guys, there are hundreds of buttons and lights and is all new to me ;)))) I love this car and really can't realise yet is mine, all mine...Jason Statham, you are just a regular guy now... Can any of you believe the main reason of buying this one is because of his movie? I've seen it recently and was having in mind to buy a BMW 320 2005 old model because of the shape and after seeing the movie again I changed my mind and I am so happy I did it... I know is not A8 but the engines were too BIG ;) Sorry I've bored you with this but I couldn' tell anyone till now why Audi A6 :))) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian1985 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Guys I am not surw if I have to reply here but I have looked for an mmi update topic and can't or not able to to find one. I will ask here but if you can show me where, I would happily do it. I attach the pictures, can someone help me by saying which version I have? Also I understand MMI is one thing and the maps are something different??? Omg... I want to update them, downloaded something burned on a cd but when I hit SW update is checking the cd and says no metadata to read or something like that. I want to update both MMI and maps but not even able to download the proper thing as not sure which version I have, any help? Apologise if this is not the place to ask this question but I have looked and not very good with the forum/topic/post things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherazzz Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hey, congrats on the a6, I've just got a 17 blk ed. And I can't believe how smooth it is but can be driven quick of needed. But I like my older a4 better, only because I'm aloud to take it apart and not get told off by the wife. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Red screen means you have mmi2g basic. http://www.audi-forums.com/c6-forum/48114-mmi-basic-plus-update-cd.html#/topics/48114?page=2 By reading this you need C6StdPlus_0410 update but be careful as some updates of go wrong will block the system and engage component protection with is hard to fix ( only audi dealer) I would advise to go to local audi dealer and ask about update and newest maps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian1985 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 You're so damn right Sherazzz :))))) I was able to put the door lights and when she first saw it last night she asked when I did this and I said it came with the car ;)))) check the pic, nice and eady to replace for £14 the pair This will be the only tuning I will be doing :))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian1985 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi again guys, Need your help please. I've been to a small shop and asked about updating satnav and they said I need to go to audi, went to audi and the guy made a phone call to the service guys and said is not possible to do the update(I think this is impossible, but probably they were more interested in selling a car instead of a cd ) anyway I have checked all the forums, all google, downloaded from 4 different places a lot of cd's, burn them and when hit sw update and introduce the CD it says no data on cd.... At this point, I am not even sure what am I doing wrong, trying to update to a much newer version and this is why is not doing it or what? I think judging by the pictures my version is 0410. In the glove box I have CD Navigation and 6 disc changer next to it. On the console, I have the following buttons; Media, Radio, Tel, Nav, Name, Info, Car, Setup if this help you knowing what's there. I really need to do the update and wondered what I am doing wrong. I don't really care about the phone as I care about the maps on the screen. I will buy them but checked on eBay and Amazon and I am not sure which one suits my car and don't want to throw the money away either. Thank you so much for all your help :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
