Audi Canada wrote me this morning to say that the update should now be available via the MyAudi portal. Sadly, it is not. Could someone else (Canada or US) have a look and confirm that they can't see it either for manual download? Just to confirm it's not just my cars that can't... Thanks!

I have heard through an informed individual to expect the full download 2019 maps to be available on the myaudi website towards the end of May. The full download 2019/2020 maps will likely available in Mid-November. It seems May and November are the target months every year for the push to the website for download.

direct download link?
I just purchased a used 2016 Q5 but do not have an Audi connect account.
Can anyone share a direct download link?
I don't have the option to download via the Audi connect page.

The new 2018 nav update is out. I’ve seen update instructions several places but not everything in one place. Here is a concise step by step of how to update your maps from the internet for 2018 Q5 owners. I did this on a Mac, Windows may be a little different.
1) Get a 32 Gig SD memory card. Mine cost $20.
2) Go to My Audi site, https://www.audiusa.com/myaudi. Log in.
3) Click on the “Audi connect services” icon (below the car).
4) On the services tab, click the right arrow to scroll to “Map update.” Click on it.
5) You can choose “Complete package” or “Individual country.” Your choice. I chose complete package.
6) Put you SD card in your computer. Alternately, you can load the map files to your hard drive. Click on “prepare package” at the bottom.
7) This will download a file called “downloader” with a bunch of numbers after the word.
8) You need the latest version of Java. It will prompt you if needed.
9) On the Mac, I needed to go into my security settings to allow the downloader file to open.
10) It will open with a Java screen, followed by a Download client window that says “my Audi.” It asks you to choose a folder location for the files. Pick a location on your hard drive or SD card and click to go.
11) The download starts and is tracked in the Download client window. The size of the files is 10.6 gig. It took about 2 hours to download on my computer.
12) Once the files are downloaded, transfer them to your SD card if you didn’t load them direct. There will be two files “0231001C.md5”, “metainfo2.txt” and two folders “Mib1” and Mib2”. All are needed.
13) Go to your car. You can do this while you are driving or stationary but the car must be on (not necessarily running but on). I did it in my garage.
14) Stick the SD card into the SD1 slot in your glove box.
15) In your MMI, go to Main menu>>Settings. Push the MMI scroll wheel to the left, it brings up a menu that says “MMI setup” and “System update.” Pick “System update.”
16) Pick SD1 (i.e. where you put your SD card) and press the MMI button to select.
17) The nav update will start and inform you of progress on the MMI screen. My update took about 20 minutes to load in my car.
Lots of steps but really pretty easy. I hope this helps. Enjoy your new maps.
