We received a notice in the mail that a new DVD is ready from Navteq is we want to part with $200. I guess this is just the maps, right? Anyone heard of any updates to the firmware? We have a factory install on an Audi A3 2006 (picked up late summer 2005). There were rumours of new firmware features like a CD pause button but I never heard any more...

I should have mentioned that this is in the US.

What's details on the update (version number for example)? The Navteq web page still says 2A is the current release. sw 0110 still seems to be the most recent sw in the US.

If you picked up your car in summer 2005 then your car came with the 1A DVD... that is probably why Navteq wants you to upgrade.

I saw online that they have a $50 discount on the 2A, don't know if $199 is before or after discount. In any case, it looks like they are getting room for a new delivery. Would be about time.

Whats the website that has the info? I cant find the info on navteq.com

Here's the Audi order page: http://www.navigation.com/audi. But now it only says free shipping, a few days ago a $50 discount was shown there.

But isnt that for the CD map and not DVD? There is no DVD maps only CDs for the RNS-D

If you choose the correct model year you get the DVD as option to order.

According to the mailer -- offer valid until Sept 30 -- free shipping on the DVD (a $9.99 value), or $50 off the CD set thus $199 plus shipping for the CDs.

Now where do I get firmware updates for the rest of the unit?

The software/firmware is on the DVD, DVD version 2A comes with sw 0110. If you already have 0110 there is no need to get the DVD. Unless you want a spare. If you don't have 0110, borrow the DVD from someone who has the 2A DVD and just update the software. Once you got 0110 installed you can still use yoru 1A DVD as map DVD.

We have Software 0040 and Hardware H70 or something like that.

Borrow a 2A DVD to do the software update, keep using your 1A DVD with the new software and save your money until the 3A DVD gets released.
