You can only update the maps.
Can use quite a bit of data, quicker to do via myAudi and a USB key

If you find the media isn't recognised (is greyed out when you try to select), I've personally found that formatting SD cards to exFat but USB sticks to NTFS gives the most success.
Make sure the files (for both map updates and POI uploads) are in the root of the media. I've been fine with having other files on the stick at the same time, but maybe move them into a temp directory first to be safe.

Only the 30 minutes they've quote for the download is American time only, here expect quite a bit longer.

Press Menu
go to Audi Connect
go to Software update
check the empty box for the map update even if it says zero MB
press Continue (or whatever it says to start the update)
and voila!
You may need to switch the car off a couple of times when prompted to park for the update to take effect.

I have tried connecting mine to my network but, apparently, the ability to link to a home network has been removed. There is no longer a link to search for a wifi hotspot..
No link on mine either! Shame, as it's an obvious way to get faster downloads (60Mbps) sat on the drive...
Quite, I certainly would not update the 18gb full european map using the built in sim, it is far too slow at 10Mbps...
It'll be these nav updates over the Audi paid for data SIM that will bump the price up when they finally decide what to charge!
Ok thanks for that, I will have look at mine but does this interfere with the internal Sims in any way?
Well I couldn't find 'new'.

I think when the iSIM came along, they disabled the Wifi way of doing it. I may be imagining things (wouldn't be the first time) but I think someone on another forum about VCDS on MLB cars said it's a just coding thing though?

Yes I found the Wi-Fi client functionality (not hotspot) is disabled on MY17. Shame as that puts out the ability to use the Audi Connect wifi services for me, as I cannot be bothered to purchase my own SIM or the hotspot data plan from Audi so my phone can access the Internet via the car. I'd rather have the car tether to my phone - but never mind...
As for map updates, I did mine via the embedded SIM. Actually it's not too badly thought out, as I kicked it off and forgot about it - few hours later (after lengthy periods of parking) I got a notification that the update was installed! So it seem to have the ability pause / resume by itself. During these times that it was downloading I was still able to use the nav system.

This is what I thought, so, as others have quoted, the ability to connect to my home wifi has been disabled. I have though connected to my phone's hotspot which means the audi connect app on it receives parking information..
