 Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 9:34 am Post subject: Audi OEM Sat-Nav can you load custom POI's? |
 |
|
A Mate of mine at work has recently got the OEM Audi Sat Nav, we are trying to load the current SpeedCamera Database into it as POI's I am familiar with the process as i have recently put the lates version on my Garmin KNA G520
What we want to know is can the Audi Sat-Nav accept custom POI's?
Any help would be appreciated |

Unlikely that it does, few OEM Factory fit systems do.

Have a look at this site.

It is possible but its a bit messy and you dont get audible warnings so probably defeats the object a bit.[/url] |

Did you mean to post a link to a particular thread?

I totally agree....however the new Audi systems (like the one just hitting the A4) are based on a 40Gb harddrive. This means it's not burnt like the DVD based systems meaning (in theory) it's easy to update POIs, software, maps etc.
The new system is the 3rd generation Audi system (referred to as 3G MMI) and I think in the coming years more and more people will be wanting a camera POI for it. I'm sure it's possible but I wonder how long it will take to accomplish. |

I drive myself an A8 and while it is in the garage I got an 09 A8 as courtesy car, which has the new MMI in it. Higher resolution, 3D buildings and all that ...
There is also an option in the menu system to "load new data" from CD, USB or SD. Supposedly this is for map updates, but also for POIs.
Older systems only support the "messy" DVD operation, which as it doesn't work with DVD-RW/DVD+RW media is a bit more costly as you can't rewrite the disk, when new camera data comes out every couple of days.
So any news on the 3rd gen MMI upload option via SD card? Like many of the other systems it is an OEM product, so chances should be it's compatible to some or the other data format. Anyone tried? |

Would also be interested whether anyone has made progress with the latest Audi 3rd generation in dash units. We're currently looking around for a smaller Audi for my better half with the factory fit SatNav option.
Thanks.
