Default 2021 Map Update Available (until Feb 1st)

Edit: the 2021 file is now graciously hosted by user DCB1951. See post 71
__________________________________________________ _____________


The full 2021 North American map update is available here for a few days: My google Drive

I have successfully uploaded them to S5 with 09/18 built date using a Windows exFAT formatted 256GB SD card. This is the card that also hosts my music library in SD slot 1. I simply added the 4 files shown below to the root of the SD card without deleting the music files. The music is unplayable while the map files remain on the card so I deleted them once the update completed.


My shared Google storage is limited so the files will be gone after February 1st. Maybe someone else can take over after that. Also remember Audi said they will be restoring the online portal for full downloads of the last eligible release for your car in Q2.

@MH62 -- Thank you for the upload. I'm in the middle of downloading your files and will try them to see if my May 2018 Build S5 accepts them or not.

A word of caution -- the file is an 11.0GB file so downloading unless you have a fast internet connection will be a lot of time.

-- John

I have a May 2018 build and it didn't take the 2021 maps, unfortunately.

Thanks much. Downloaded. I will wait until John says it worked on his car too. Which version is this 1370?

They will be available in a zip file at this link indefinitely: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At652cvGKNNQgb4ioFxxYEFcnMh5qQ.

My Results:




January 25 / 2021 Complete NAR files

Looks like my car (May2018 build date) is out of the free updates.

Yes that matches my EU spec May 2018 car. It didn't accept the 2021 maps. Same message.

Thanks Bruce! I wasn’t sure if that was the correct message or if some bit flipped in the download - transfer. Good To Know.
