Yea... not going to happen. Dealerships charge enough as it is especially Audi!!!
Rather not use my phone, sat nav drains your battery or else what's the point to having sat nav in your car, it's there to be used so use it and it wont drain your battery.
My 2009 didn't come with any fancy stuff, just a Symphony Radio (non MMI) and Bluetooth for phone calls. I recently installed an after market Android unit with back up camera, dash camera, GPS and Apple CarPlay. I couldn't be more happy. I went for a cheap unit (there are better ones) and I might have spent under $650 in total.

Then you pay the dealer the high costs of updates, just how life is...…….
I noticed the other day that the sat nav didn't show new roads which have been in operation for a good few years.
Anyone any suggestions on how to???
Depending on which part of the world, for Europe there are all maps from 2010-2019 for 3G base, Hnav, Hnav +.
For North America I only have version 2017/2018, people from USA do not want to share folders they have bought
I just had this experience. I called the dealership I have a 2015 Q7 and I want updated GPS map. The guy said OK he will order it for me. I asked is it's on a DVD and he said yes. That's $265.00 plus tax. I went to pick it up yesterday. Got home and getting ready to load the map. Open the up the plastic case and to my disappointment, there was no DVD. There was only a thin booklet with authorization code for the map. WTF? I went back dealership today and ask them what the heck is this crap? They said I need to pay another $200 for the actual map and the update has to be done by the service dept. Are you kidding me? What is the idea behind this madness? Why do they have to make it so complicated? Is this how they make money? I'm not going to pay $500 for an update. I was pissed. I asked for a refund and left. I guess I will be using my iPhone for directions.

NKQ7, I feel your pain on this. Thankfully I didn't buy from Audi I only asked them to quote.
However... i did a bit of Google searching and in the UK there are companies that sell either SD or CDs to update your maps, cost wise they were asking for around £180.
I haven't got round to doing it yet; but will be shortly. I'd say have a poke around Google because someone will be into this business.
