Can a Newer version of the MMI Nav DVD be found on a Torrent site that anyone knows of?

It happens I was driven in the service shuttle (RoyalOak)-Q7.
The vehicle is 2 months old.
Navigation reflected maps 2 years old (even the dealership and surroundings were not on the map).
No newer versions.

Moral:
Navigation in the car (on disk) is useless and complete waste of $$$ - unless one uses it as entertaining devise.
Happy I never opted for one.

Really!!!!!! So you are telling me that the Navigation in the Audi MMI systems are useless and no where near as accurate as lets say a Garmin Nuvi 250?

Can you and others confirm this before i spend money buying a DVD?

the new 2010 maps for the rnse are 199 from the dealer or navteq the sw update is on the dvd the newest sw is 260 (beware this will disable the video input) so you cant add a dvd player or tv tuner.
The rnse does say mmi on start up but is a totally different system to the mmi in the newer cars,seperate screen and is hard disc based not dvd like the rnse
i fitted the rnse im my 02 a4 as long as you have the symphony 2 it is a straight swap plug and play you just have to find somewhere to put the gps antenna.

got mine from ebay there seems to be a few on there most of the time.

my rnse nav is very accurate mine is still the 06 map remember even if you get the brand new 2010 maps the mapping was done in 09 so they are always out of date from other garmin devices i have used it is just as accurate.

So just to get this straight again... The 2006 A8 has a perfectly good navigation Screen and set up and is only needing a navigation DVD and yet am I to understand that even if i buy a Navigation DVD from Audi or one for $40.00 off EBay (version 5 or 6 ) that once installed it will be useless and not be accurate mapping for Canada?
Am i to understand this?

can anyone tell me this is untrue or true?

I have an allroad, 2005 with no updates to the system.

Most roads are digitized and are on the DVD. I have very little trouble with accuracy and most are related to changes since 2005. New subdivisions etc.

I have noticed that the voice overs sometimes says turn right but the map shows left. I go with the map.

I will not be upgrading until I need new software or a new DVD. New roads in Canada are not in the Toronto area so do not effect me.

If you are spending money for the DVD because you do not have one, it is worth it.

Accuacry is not a problem that I have encountered.

just what alex said if you get the 2010 disc it will be accurate. there is no way to be 100%up to date if you buy the disc and 6 months later there is a brand new division made it will not show that on the map. i still use a 06 map and it is fine

Thanks Alex & Jamieta.... I will try to either download one from a torrent site or get one from EBay for $40.00 Any idea what version would be considered safe for accurate mapping for Ontario?
