December 9, 2011.
Affected Vehicles
283
Condition
Customer is inquiring about retrofitting the MMI system with a language pack or map database outside of factory available options.
Technical Background
Navigation systems equipped in US spec vehicles come pre-loaded from the factory with:
^ Navigation maps for USA/Canada.
^ English (US), Spanish (Mexican), and French (Canadian) system languages.
It is not possible to change the language pack or map database to something outside of what is available on the vehicle from the factory for the
following reasons:
^ Software and hardware differences between US spec and Rest of World (ROW) spec modules can create communication issues in the vehicle.
^ Installing a ROW navigation database or language pack onto a US spec module is not possible.
^ The SVM system will not code or parametrize the replacement modules correctly, and will prohibit necessary SVM codes from being run in the
future.
Production Solution
Not Applicable.
Service
Inform the customer that retrofitting the MMI system with a different language pack or map database is not technically possible and is not supported.
Warranty
This TSB is informational only and not applicable to any Audi warranty.
Additional Information
All parts and service references provided in this TSB are subject to change and/or removal. Always check with your Parts Department and service
