Sunny Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 HI I'm not a specialist but I know that you need the sd card inserted.and i'm sure that's why you get the error. depending where you bought the car from . if private then the previous owner decided to make some extra xash on selling it i guess. have a look on eBay maybe you can find one. or borrow one from someone else.i'll be more than happy to give you mine only to see if it works.

Trevor Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hi Heather...welcome to the Forum I agree with Sorin on this but also, I believe the SatNav needs to be unlocked to use this feature, have a look at some of the information in the Tech section on this subject. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Able211 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I would assume you're missing the sd card. For what they are, Audi charge an enormous price for them. Normally, you can update these cards on the internet, but Audi want to sell you the updated cards for a grand profit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbly Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If you're entitled to the card and were not supplied one (i.e. you bought a spec with Sat Nav supposed to be present and usable) maybe you can go back to the seller. But I have to say the SD based Sat Nav is in my opinion very inferior to what you'll get from, say, Google Maps on your phone to the point I have the Audi SD based Sat Nav but choose to use my phone instead. My experience with Audi's implementation is it's embarrassingly slow to set up a destination and has demonstrated some bizarre routing choices. Only nice feature is the automatic offer to navigate to the nearest petrol station it's aware of if fuel gets really low. Voice recognition via the MMI is also far inferior (both recognition performance and options for what you can say) to what I get from my phone in the car (in my case Android) You can get something like this to neatly 'install' your phone in your A3 :-) https://www.audiphoneholder.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
