I have audi Q7. Love it. I want to know if this model has an inbuilt GPS tracker in it. Because i want to install one in it if it doesnt have. My son is driving it now. I am going to purchase one from https://www.paj-gps.com/ company. Seems like they have lot of good choices and easy to use trackers. What do you think?

Hi Folks, New Audi owner here...Black edition A6 Avant C7. Over the moon bar one or 2 issues...one being related to maps! Please help? I've scoured the internet for information and have some but i am a typical over thinker and as such, require confirmation and help on things before jumping in two-footed 😐 My physical location is well far off my GPS location. I am in Birmingham for example (UK) and the GPS thinks i am in Scotland. After reading around, i understand there is a water ingress issue with the shark fin arials on the C7's potentially..I want to ensure it's not just software before going down faulty hardware route - i need to establish this ASAP so that if it is hardware, i can take back to the dealer (which is a considerable distance from me, so i'd like to be sure). My question - How do i update maps myself? Local audi dealer has been useless... I can't even get in to talk to them. I have requested an audi connect code (another issue i've got as cannpot get connect services to work correctly) from them as i don't have the original one and it's hurdle after hurdle. Map updates too seem extortinate and would rather self-install in case that isn't the problem at all... My current MMI version is: MHI2_ER_AU57x_S2519_1 ..... I BELIEVE i need to update to MHI2_ER_AU57x_K3663 ....... I have found a few places online to download the files but i don't particularly trust them and want to be sure i get the correct version (i have read it differs depending on sound system and subtle changes to software code may need changing - I have Bose sound and if i'm reading in the correct places this means the update software is slightly different - can anyone confirm?)....So sorry for dragging this out, i guess my question is can anyone please advise on a suitable location to obtain the correct update files (other than audi) so i can investigate software vs hardware fault? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and Hi, i'm Lewis 🙂 I like to get involved in online communities and having purchased an Audi very recently, i hope i can be part of this one and gain useful info as well as contribute what i know and discover along the way should it become relevant. Tinker by trade and love playing about with things (no dirty jokes please). BR, Lewis

Hi, Hoping someone might be able to help I have an RS6 2014 with MMI 3G (not with sim) and a few months ago I was driving through France and my GPS system started messing up and telling me I was back in London, for the rest of my journey it was acting erratically, since then its been on and off sometimes showing my correct location other times say I'm in Leeds when I'm in London and so on, I've tried few things like reseting the MMI by holding the three buttons at the same time, driving round in an open space in circles and resetting the Sat Nav system settings all with no joy, I've also noticed recently that other devices in ym car can't pick up a proper GPS signal from a Dashcam to a radar speed camera detector.. it all seems a bit odd to me really even my phone doesn't always work correctly, I've tried removing everything that uses GPS to see if for whatever reason it could have been one of those blocking the signal, anyone have any ideas or help how to reset the GPS on the MMI? Thanks Eric
