Affected Vehicles



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.
