Looks like a result 👍 

Replacing the head unit would have cost you (a lot) more!

Probably asked already if so my bad 

Just bought an a5 sportback. It's a 2014 3.0 tdi auto black edition. It doesn't have Bluetooth audio, just phone calls. But I do have the mmi in the glove box however it won't let me play music via amazon/Spotify any advice how to get it to do this or can I put in an aux port it doesn't have one in the armrest thanks

Have a look here - I suspect you have a similar head unit 

https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/17908-upgrading-my-mmi/?do=findComment&comment=64573

Your best bet is through the ami interface 

You need to differentiate between update and upgrade. 

You can update maps and firmware - lots of Russian guys have done the hacks. Your unit is probably mmi 3g basic. 

To update you can use the link above or Google mmi 3g basic map update. 

There is info on DIY here 

https://www.a5oc.com/threads/mmi-3g-basic-navigation-5-31-2-and-firmware-updates-currently-2020-2021.113473/

Most of these options are pretty solid - I have used similar on a VW RNS 850 to get the latest firmware and maps. 

The only other issue is if your maps are on DVD (most likely), SD card (less flexible) or hdd. 

If you are a bit reticent then Chris_coz's link is the easiest option. 

To upgrade you can probably get Bluetooth streaming either using an ami connector

Or a full on connection

Good luck!

I will (probably) never spend money on Audi MMI / software again !  My Audi A6  MMI High SIM, SD, Audi Connect, Google Earth, Send destination to car  and dynamic traffic routing no longer has  Google Earth Send destination to car  or dynamic traffic routing because "Audi no longer support it because Google needs stuff your car cant do! "  Well in the intervening  8 years I cant remember what it all cost but I am guessing £150 a year to reach Audi obsolescence!  I was - am planning to keep the highly specked and well behaved car for at least another 5 years  so it looks like I will go for a Chinese Android  head unit ... with all the politic that carries. Easily justified in Audi (Rubbish) Map cost however ! 

I thought that Google Earth was no longer supported but all the other ones still work under either audi connect or with a 3rd party sim?

Good to get to the bottom of it and you clearly did the right thing in challenging them 👍 

The service history on newer vehicles is now captured electronically - I wouldn't be surprised if there is a paid service available to check service history. 

There is already one for tax and mot and you can check vehicle insurance on line. 

If it's a 2018 car then as Gareth says it should of had at least 1 service of some sort irrespective of the mileage. 

Is it an audi dealer or an independent? 

Sounds like you should be careful.

I suspect that they will be Thule roof bars. Have a look here

I've also used Cruz in he past

I guess Audi don't want you buying from anyone other than them....

Erm, forgive me if I have missed the point, they only want vehicles between three and six years old with nil milage, I expect the que will stretch round the block to give them nearly £800, most of these cars will in all probability never have any problems also there is no mention of the components changed during the two services and I would love to see the list of whats not covered on the extended warranty, yet again media manipulation of the average owner.

Steve.

Well spotted Richard.

They're definitely not planning on losing money on it - but for some people it is saving them some hassle and potentially helping maintain FSH for sell on value. 

2l or less keeps the costs down. 

A warranty is going to knock you back a couple of hundred quid. 

Also AA Roadside is worth something. 

If you have a 2l quattro it might be worth it just in case the gearbox or drive train has an issue - provided they are covered. 

It's not for everybody but car choices are never one size fits all 👍 

Looks like a decent deal

And you save 6p if you pay it all up front 😁

Ps is this the right place for this?

When we are all back living in caves eating raw vegetables and wondering why it's always so cold  (and wouldn't it be nice if it was 2 C warmer) we won't need cars - so where's the problem? 😁 😁 

Looks like a nice trip - how many miles /km? 

If you are going via Murcia then Cartagena is a nice stop off. 

Normally there are a few cruise ships in (pre Covid) 

Either way it's better than working! 😁

Booked for this Saturday.  Which Obdeleven would you recomand , the basic or the pro version ? 

I only got the gen 1 basic because I have an Android phone. 

You can upgrade on line if you want more later.

Checked their page and they don't do everything I want and also the price difference is huge to be honest 

Fair enough 👍 

The work at MAKCoding took about an hour. 

It's s bit of a trek but on a Saturday /Sunday you can make a day of it.
