Thanks so much RKsilver for your quick reply. As this is a Canadian car it already has KMs.
MMI and Nav seem to be the biggies, though I have also heard that mirrors and brake lights need to be switched over, and there may be a requirement to install a rear fog light, but it is very hard to verify any of this information!
Thanks again

Front side markers, if they are red, are not allowed.
MAY seem a big thing, but according to *time moving on* alot of things can be *coded*.

I have tried the region conversion. It's not simple as written in the pdf file. Checkout the pictures I posted here.

Navigation and Radio to Gulf Co Operation Countries
Hi Group,
Recently I was shifted to Dubai from the U.S as promotion to take care of the new branch. So I imported my 2014 Audi SQ5 here to Dubai with me. Niw I will be here for the next 8 years. So need to know if anyone can guide me how to change the Radio and Navigation to GCC standards or middle east standards as we would call it. Please help.

Actually you can convert a 3G+ from US to EU. The basics are the same: Region conversion, Firmware update, new Maps, navigation activation (requires FSC codes)...obviously, there are some steps in-between, but that's about it. There are a number of folks I know which offer the service for about 200-300 euros and can get the car setup for EU.
Also,, I believe your headlights will require changing as well.
Take a look at the attached doc, for an explanation on how to change the region.

Am considering to ship an Audi Q7 from the US to Europe, and understand there will be issues with getting things like Audi Connect or the Navigation system to work in Europe. For example because of different factory programming needed and/or different SIM card.
How difficult is it to get the MMI/NAV and all that to work in Europe? Isn't it just a matter of running a software update and installing a European SIM card?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks! Mark

here is my 5f long coding:
019401020000000053220002041A00102F0002E501700904FE
I have discovered that byte 3 is showing nav region (02 NAR, 01 Europe) and byte 9 region of device (22 NAR and 11 Europe).
But even after changes in long coding I am not able to install europe firmware (0976) or europe maps, I still have area conflict.
Also I have tried to change metainfo2 file in maps and recalculate checksum (it is easy) but then I have signature conflict.
Maybe some ideas how to ignore region or change it or maybe any way to install firmware or maps in swdl mode (I can't understand how to do it)?
Thanks!
