Apparently the hardware in 2017/2018 is not compatible with the new software layer in the latest Google maps…what a disappointment…however I realised that Google maps app works just the same via CarPlay…oh well…

well not really the same. You can't have it in front of you, only on the smaller screen. And it doesn't tell you which ramp to get on or off the highways, etc. Disappointment.
Audi released a patch that allows you to activate google earth for maps but you need to have a specific tipe off mmi and a grafic card installed on your car. This can be done by your dealership
Yes it is a monthly or yearly payment subscription that allows you to access different functions depending on the country you are .But if you choose only the the option to look unlock you will still get the option to upgrade the maps
my 2021 UK spec RSQ3 I just got last week doesn't have google maps. I even paid the 115 quid for the yearly subscription to the "online" upgraded navigation from the Audi app. I could see why Google wouldn't be standard because then nobody would use Audi's maps but when I pay 115 quid for a yearly subscription I expect Google to come with the upgrade.
This can be fixed by updating to 5xxx MMI FW version and, of course, have a valid Audi Connect license. Still pity that car dealers do not offer this upgrade service. It should have been just a standard Audi recall for all pre 2019 models.
Its not the fact they dont support it. Its a subscription base.....Car only comes with it I believe for the first 3 yrs like most other manufacturers onboard GPS system. Its also because your hardware is old. Google updates has changed the way how their maps and android works on vehicles.
Like every option, Google Maps expires in 2 years . Yes, it is true that there are no renewals for free, those options are now paid for. But it can still work for free, you need: Insert a sim card that has internet or use it with a tel hotspot and 3D maps will work 100%
I got that notification for my 2018 Q5... Satellite view was the deciding reason I chose the car. And obviously they didn't lower the cost of the service.
i just bought a 2021 RSQ3 and even paid the 115 for the yearly subscription to the upgraded online navigation in the My Audi app... I still don't have google maps. I don't understand why

Thank you for the video. Looking to get virtual cockpit, but after seeing ur vid it's certainly not worth the hassle.
For the older Audi's until 2018 there is a software-update available. Just ask your dealer to install it on the MMI or if it's compatible.
Car companies are the worst scammers out there.

This is ridiculous! Come on Audi!

But it can still work for free, you need:

Connect the car with hostpot from the phone that works ?
There is a workaround that re-activates the Google Earth… it’s a script that needs to be installed (connected to VIN).
Hey mate, how do I get it reactivated?
Where to do it?
Yes, yes, please share how to get this done.

@@Flikk. exact same! It is like a scam!
i noticed this on my 2017 a4 I had it for years then it stopped working
Is this real metal trim on your a4 or just metal finish on plastic ?cause i they switched to plastic in facelift
I have same one it feels like plastic tbh
@@SoftPastelsI always thought it is brushed aluminum as mine scratches like metal would. Want to change mine to all black as it looks smarter IMO
I have the "brushed aluminium" on mine and it's actually metal. Don't know what type of metal, but it IS metal.
How do I sink the GPS on dash with cockpit?
I have a front camera dash camera i cant access for some reason and i have 2018
Is it because of this?
@@Ray-nr7ed This has nothing to do with your camera
I just bought a 2019 a5 sportback and I don't have Google earth Mao how can I get it?
i just bought a 2021 RSQ3 and even paid the 115 for the yearly subscription to the upgraded online navigation in the My Audi app... I still don't have google maps. I don't understand why
For the cars that Audi will not provide solution there is still hope:)
