Audi Mmi 5570 3cd Set 4l0 998 961

My MMI is currently running version 2750. I went to the dealer and they refused to sell me the CD's and quoted me 2-3 hours of labor to get the MMI updated to the latest US version. I'm pretty confident I can do it myself. I must admit I have not done an MMI update to date but I have done all sorts of tweaks to my last 3 Audi's with my VAG-COM. Chertezh schetchika vodi. I do know that I need to keep the car connected to a trickle charger during the update.

I know you can get the CDs from the dealer (part 4L0 998 961) for the latest version (5570). I understand it's basically a case of doing each CD in turn to apply the updates to all the components. Mine has MMI High with parking sensors, heated seats, dual climate, air suspension, DAB radio, AMi, 6 disk changer, Bluetooth.

I will definitely hit you up if I have any questions. What sort of issues did you run into with yours? I didn't have any problems but I did hours of research and typed out notes/tips for myself to follow in addition to the printed instructions.

I did not use a batt maintainer for a few reasons. 1 I didn't own one and didn't want anything new to learn on the process. It was a warm night and wanted to be able to have AC if i was going to spend some time in the car.

If u r going to use maintainer ***U have to keep in mind that the car normally shuts down MMI after a few minutes to conserve batt ***if this happens during install u will most likely risk damaging unit. There is a proper place to connect maintainer to provide steady power but I forget where that is so please do a search.

Another bit of advice I can give is that be aware of what the installation communicates to u (at the end.the results) look out for NOK (not OKs) and it may be normal to reinsert and install the same disk 2 or 3 times in a row. * certain installs are divided into modules or something meaning certain Disks have multiple modules on them. I hope I'm making sense. And install in slot 1 in glovebox not trunk and use one disk at a time (not disk1 in slot1 disk2 in slot2 just keep empty other slots) I think that's all I remember. The update went fine and as halo guy said I didn't even need the 3360 CD. The 4610 2 CD set had everything on it I needed to do the update. I was going to write up a how-to but you literally just keep running the CD until it tells you there are no more updates.

I should note, however, that I only used slot 1 in the 6 disc changer as recommended by MainlandMig. So to clarify; steps to update: If your phone is connected, disconnect it. Insert one of the 2 4610 update CDs into slot 1 in the CD changer Hold 'setup' and 'return' buttons - this brings you to a 'Current config' menu showing your current versions Press the lower right button around the MMI control knob to select 'SWUpdate' Select 'CDROM' as the 'Download server' You are now presented with a menu showing you a listing of each control module and whether or not an update is available for it with either a 'Y' (Yes), 'N' (No), or 'S' (Some?), I saw the 'S' next to a module that had several subcomponents that needed updating.

In any case, you simple scroll to the bottom and select 'Run Update' I noticed that when an updated completed, 1 or more other updates became available to run. You repeat this process, occasionally swapping between CDs, until it tells you 'No modules selected for update' for both CDs. As for having the car on a battery charger, I didn't bother.
