Price-gouging. Three Monkeys Government / Government Agency. Supposedly the Competitions and Markets Authority found no evidence of that by UK Fuel Retailers. Or 'Widespread Price Gouging in the UK'. Obviously they are incompetent and not fit for purpose. I have never understood why only one Competitions & markets Authority, or as the were called Competitions Commission. They have a monopoly on things.

Thanks. I can get the first three stages, no problem. When I get to Software Update, it offers the current, then a second choice. I am nervous of the 'poke and hope' approach, so where do I go next and what card should be in the SD (1?) slot? Can I also ask what you mean by ''then picture"?

Toddington services near Lutton i gather. Profiteering !

Here, they shove the price up instantly without filling their tanks

There are still places at that price but maybe they have not had to fill their tanks this week.

Last week I paid £1.80

It is more than that oop north at some BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco etc. PS. I would rather have a litre of go go juice than a cup of Costa. I do like where charging an EV gets you a free hot drink. But then the electricity is very expensive.

£2.12 a litre, where is that?

Hi, I still didn't find any solution. No idea wthat's the problem. It looks like it's global problem, pleae have a look at: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1r3cznd/psa_pixel_10_vwaudiskodaseat_mib3_android_auto_is/

Fancy a coffee and maybe a few litres of fuel ?

That time again.

Yeah, I have chatted to him now that I have been elucidated and we think he should stick to using CarPlay to show current maps on the screen.

Think it's this FeC that is required based on the more incredible bash documentation 023100EE There is a catch that you have to check that the firmware is applicable for the patch. The project tells you if it isnt. Some Audi drivers in the past have updated the firmware so it gets to a point where the patch has been written. A kind soul wrote the patch for my Seat so I didn't have to update the firmware that was 5 years ago. So there will be a table in the github project that shows which firmware release it works with, failing that it tells you when you come to the back up phase. Anyhow you can see why I don't experiment with this once it's working. ... all about your friends car.

OK, forgive the ignorance. What do I need to do/add to an ordinary SD card to make it work as the Satnav data storage? (that's if it can be done .... )

Thanks guys. I’m glad it wasn’t me missing something obvious. I used to think of my Škoda as a poor man’s Audi, but the more I experience both brands, the more I have a definite preference for Skoda. Now all I need to do is wait for 473.

Here my system data:

Dozens of reports on the Facebook groups. Skoda supposedly deploying an update to fix it.

334 being the main OS?

Me too. For a couple of months now I've been getting about 2 updates per week. Also had an update to 334 a couple of days ago.

I belive Audi were shipped like Seats so the FeC installed in the unit always tallies with the one in the map file. Their cunning plan was for you to buy mapcare which gives you the ability to update for a 3 years or whatever they sell. VW and Skoda came with unlimited mapcare with a lifelong navigation FeC. There is a combination of buttons you can press on an Audi where you can read off the cars in built FeCs. You look at that list and read it off. That is a hex number. The map file hex as @viper42 quoted / use his method shown but don't save the file after is compared with the units current FeC So the navigation fec on the file has to be less than or equal to the units navigation FeC shown on the unit in Hex terms. The more incredible bash project on github which also goes under the name Mr Bonk or thats what I can it can be installed in the unit and that will write the Audi life long FeC into the unit.... then that <= formula is satisfied and the maps can be updated. All the Audi drivers round here including @BooBoo124 will have used the github project. For RoW there is a catch unless they have fixed it you need to add the RoW life long FeC into the file, the code included in the project is the European one. This came up a few years back on the RoW with someone from your part of the world. The project comes with extensive documentation so you can find the code you need or trace back the conversation. So essentially you photograph the cars current FeC screen. Install the project. Mr Fixit youtube video on that. Make sure the cars battery is charged, or keep it running etc. Make sure you got the RoW life long fec in the file of the project not the European one. Then you run the project. Use to be backup and then update the fecs. If you update with the European fec it wont work. Think the process is install the project in the car which is on the SD card. Then take out the SD card use notepad in text mode to edit the file and add that RoW lifelong fec if its not in it. See notes on their materiel. SD card back in. Use addfec command of the project. Reboot the unit. Go to the audi fec display screen. Photograph it. If it has worked then you will see the updated life long fec shown which should be the audi RoW. Now you are free to update the maps. The project also unlocks assorted screens for off road, performance etc - you can ignore then. Just an added bonus. Was in the middle of typing this when Viper got in with the short answer.... bells and whistles in this. The main thing is to make sure the unit doesn't power down whilst running the github project. It will reboot the unit a few times but loss of power is likely to corrupt the firmware. A charger can be connected or do it with the engine running. It's a one off procedure which you can then forget. Last time I did was 5 years ago. You just leave the project installed but it's there if you need it again. The SD card for the project you fiie away. All clear as mud 👌. Footnote Audi conversation going here: Bit more more time and I may find the Ozzie conversation I had on the Audi RoW fec.

Hello, I made a solution for this kind of issue and also made a short movie how to fix touch panel under the black panel which is under the display if you have problems with self clicking or volume goes up or down all the time - this is the solution. Sometimes when on/off button is self clicking all the time - unit keeps rebooting as well.

Wires in door are fairly easy to repair but a lot of folk just join at the break. I normally splice in a new section of wire a good bit before and after the break as you get more flexability as solder tends to make section of wire rigid plus chances are the section of wire thats broken has been flexed over time and become weak. If the windows are temperamental and door lock doesnt operate it may be just a wiring issue in the drivers pillar/door. I would check wiring and repair first and see if things go back to normal.

Simple really, best wait until there are Cars on Display at Dealers or Shopping Malls that can be sat in at least if not until there are Demonstrators to drive, otherwise you might have buyers / leasers remorse for 3 years.

First you have to patch it using More Incredible Bash. Audi systems require licenses for map updates. More Incredible Bash will write the lifetime map update FEC that’s default on Skoda and VW as an example.
