Is there a way to check how many map downloads you have remaining?

Other than google map it doesnt appear in any satnav that I’ve used. I wouldn’t put your hopes up it will appear in the update.
Edit:I thought you could use the Audi connect in the car to do map updates rather than download it on pc yourself in the facelift so no reason to muck about in the broken myAudi website if you can.
Just updated the maps through the MMI while sitting in traffic. Some new roads on there now.
@Audi Bairn the new forth crossing is on it.

Ah, good shout mate
I'll see if I can do it on the way home, cheers. Just through Audi Connect yeah?
Doesn't it only download your 'region' and not the full UK update if you do it in car?

On the facelift at lease there’s an in built SIM card that lets you access the services like weather but it also lets you download the current maps. The system only let me download the UK set which has 4 files that totals around 1gb.
Just go to settings and find system update then select online and choose the parts you want.
Think you have to be careful if you have a phone with rsap as that will use your own data not the Audi sim.
Just over an hour. It will depend on reception.
I think it will just keep going if it doesn’t finish during your drive.
Thanks again buddy
I tried on the way home, before I’d read your later comments. Was taking forever, but got to around 30% and said download failed. Wondering if it was merely a loss of signal.
Must be reception. I got it between Fife and EdinburghThanks again buddy

Think I’m too near the hills. I’m out and about in the Lothians tomorrow might try again. Hoping each failed attempt doesn’t count as one of the free ones.
If it’s like the a6 which I assume it should be then it’s you get 6 updates in first 3 years. You can download each update as many times as you want.
Success at last! Fully updated today whilst out and about and you’re also correct that it keeps downloading after you switch the ignition off. Got to about 60% when I reached my destination and told me it’d keep downloading. All done when I returned to the car hurrah!
Update on the free map updates, apparently you have to do it within 3 years so I couldn't get it done free, but others may be luckier if your car is newer.
That’s cheap. On my first a6 I asked for a price and the dealer and they wanted £250 for the sd card and £150 to activate it. Told them to keep it. Think now they do the whole thing for £250 ish on sdcard sat nav.
Should be free for the first 3 years and you can download the last one whenever you want even after 3 years.
So £150 to use their broadband seems steep.
Still too expensive when you consider doing it yourself is easy and hazzle free. Or just update your area through the mmi...
I can't update through the MMI and I couldn't update it myself so I either have to pay or I am stuck with 2013 maps, which I'll probably just stick with
You are probably beyond the five updates then. I was able to update the maps with a similar spec and age of car when I last owned a A3. Have you checked with DJAlix to see if he can help?
Sounds like you are past the 3 years so might have to suck it up and buy the latest maps.
I haven't thought about it too much until now, I know he's a busy man but I may give him a shout.
How to update mmi maps if you have just sd card maps? Gor sd card with maps from 2013 can you just download maps and copy do sd card?

If you are looking to update SD card based maps then you need to source a new and unactivated / used 201X data card and licence code, then take it to someone like myself for activation.
If you have Technology Pack and want to update then you can via the MMI menus it you have Audi Connect or via myAudi if you don't (connect also if you would rather complete via SD card as opposed to over the air). If you have reached your update limit then contact Audi customer services to extend your licence period.
