Had mine done here in Uk a few weeks ago they said it took a couple of hours, they also looked at a fault I have which they found to be the 2 Automatic selector switches being faulty that control the key being locked in ignition & not getting key out. That cost me £60, £30 for MMI update & £30 to tell me fault? Tluding the secret menu.o fix they wanted over £400 so bought item involved £25 & will try myself.
Beware of update as you do lose some functions inc

You could just jump to 4610 which it's a repair kit. You have no need for 3360 version. 4610 has every update. If you really want to waste time and money go head and run 3360.
By updating you will loose the warning screen on the MMI, also loose the Battery Meter, Speed Warning(make sure you shut that off before the updates) and the A/C on the MMI screen. But with a VAG COM you could bring everything back(forget about the warning screen leave that off).

I did my updates with the car running and everything off. Took about 2hrs. 4610 Disc 1 took about 20mins, Disc 2 took about 1hr 30min had to run few time(click ok to update the modules). I just re-ran Disc 1 on my own after reading and doing my reach. Yes it did more update, Disc 2 open the modules up for more updates for Bluetooth.

But if you do the updates yourself do it when weather is good and you could stay in the car for about 2hrs +/- with out interrupting the cars power. You shall be good to go.

What is the positive of doing an update ? Do I gain anything ? Is there a graphic that will be added on startup ?

You could coded so you could the MMI screen with the Audi rings at start up. But what it's good for is to update the modules and install AMI interface.

GPS 3D only works on 2G Eur models, which suck for the USA. Only 3G models in the USA do get the 3D.

For the start up A6 MMI screen, there is someone out there that knows how to(hidden menu). But for now, just just shut off the radio before locking the car and it works.
