Thanks Mokorx for the 0017 flashing tip. Im running 290 now, and CarPlay is working. The software contains some new small details, like displaying the Drive Select mode, which is nice.

The only option that will be flashed with your 296 update is the FPK.

As someone stated above, you need to flash a few intermediate SW versions in order to get up to 296. My 0017 came from the factory with version 221 software and unfortunately you cant skip right to 296.

Could you share the 290 update? I have the same issue.

 

the price is 40 Euro

the software depends on the VC version, the equipment does not matter

Does the packaging tell you what the update is fixing? (Does it have patch notes?)

Otherwise its weird that they sell something with out any information on what it does.

 

there is no information what fixes / changes
if you know the part number you can buy everything at audi dealer
You can also buy oryginal SD cards on the internet
what improves a given update you can find in the technical bulletin

You need the update 0290 update. The newest one with version 0296 can't be applyed to this hardware revision. I tried it yesterday with the same Unit (SW=0221 HW=32).
So if someone has this update too, it would be nice to upload it.

Or do someone know the part number for the 0290 SD card?

You have an "old" TT 2015 like me?

 

I think (to be verified) that 0290 is 8S090696A (was AE for 0296)

You can find a few sellers entering this on Google.

 

What Kind of improvements will we have by this update??

Jacopo79,
1. How do I check my TT hardware model and unit number?

Do I have to open up my VC physically to get behind the stickers?

I too have Regular "old" TT Quattro (230ps) 2015 January. But my SW version went from 0179(stock) to 0886 (updated 2018). I remember the dealership had troubles installing it. I hope that they didnt fu&k up the version and install for a wrong car.

2. How do you know based on the UNIT number and Hardware serial number what is the latest sw version?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing particular except that my system now accepts Apple Carplay.

Hi mate! Noooo , you Just Need vcds or obd Eleven to read your unit 17...look at my unit17

 

look at my unit17

Thats a nice looking unit you got there. Thank you for showing me picture of your unit. I wish I had a unit like that. :lol:
(Sorry I really needed this joke. My day has been very bad, I needed this for my soul)

So Jacopo
I have the same numbers!
Same: indetifier, HW number, SW number and version (0221) (0284 available).

However! My Hardware version is H32 and not H30 as yours.

What does this 0221 mean?

When I go to the System Maintenance --> Version info (via my MMI menu). I get 0884 version.

Is VC firmware different from MMI firmware version?

 

Is VC firmware different from MMI firmware version?

Yes, the MMI(5F) and VC(17) are two different units. That's why it has it own firmware. The MMI is only displayed on the VC (with some more features).

The MU Version 0886 is your MMI firmware. The firmware for the VC can only be checked with VCDS, OBD11 etc. or in the red engineering menu.

 

I think (to be verified) that 0290 is 8S090696A (was AE for 0296)

You can find a few sellers entering this on Google.

It looks like 8S090696A is for 215. 8S0 906 961 S is for 268. Between this I haven't found any information.

 

Oke, so if I understand correctly on a cluster HW version without a A or B the highest version we can go is 290?
Currently my unit is 221.
Already downloaded 264 and 265 and will try to update to that versions, but love to have the smartphone interface icon within VC. That will be able with 290?

Can someone share that version as well?

Much appreciated!!

 

Perhaps we could create a central repository for the software updates we have. I have a couple that I can't run on my hardware currently.

I'm currently on 0139 for my MMI and 0221 for my VC. Would like to upgrade both if possible.

 

not sure I understand correctly where to find the hardware version,
From the engineering menu I have Current Version:MHI2_ER_AU43x_P3626 and MU Software 0892.
Its a 2017 car.

 

Also when I try to apply the update I can't change FPK from {N] ?

I have 264 and 265 VC firmware for you.
Also have latest module 5F firmware P5098

You can update that to P5098

But now I am steeling someone thread here. Maybe a central download/firmware topic is a better way indeed?

 

Thanks

You can get this information only with a OBD Dongle or better with VCDS, OBD11, etc. That's as far as I know.
