Map updates solved. . . Sort of
After wrestling with Audi over this and getting incorrect or bad information from them about map updates here’s the good news and bad news.
Subscribing to Audi Connect + and driving into the region where updates are needed will in fact generate updates!
So, going on a road trip and you want the in car information/nav updates? Subscribe for the trip (and remember to cancel 15 days before it would renew)
As we travelled into whatever regions Audi has geo-fenced we’d get updates - something like every other state or so. A message displays on the MMI if you see it but it doesn’t persist.
Bad news is that I don’t see them providing the data in downloadable form anymore at least for NA.

Yep, I've been doing this every 4-6 months or so over the last few years. If Connect PRIME wasn't almost $40/mo, I'd just have it all the time. The new Connect NAV is only $150/yr, but only works on cars MY24 and newer with the updated mobile service system.

Thanks for the info. Bummer for those of us with older models. Figured someone would’ve successfully hacked the NA mapping by now. Until then Google and Android Auto remain reliable. Just not in the dash.
