Audi Satnav RNS-E MMI
Discussion
Just a bit of info for any A3,S3,A4,S4,RS4 owners out there who have got satnav installed but have never had TMC enabled Audi have emailed me today (I've been nagging them for months) to say that the 2007 upgrade discs (2 dvd set this time) covering all of europe to street level and with TMC enabled in the UK are being sent out to dealers now and since the disc enable TMC they have agreed that it will be a free dealer upgrade as long as the car is still in warranty, has satnav as an original installation, and you have the old dvd, otherwise it's £210. The TMC is fed from RAC trafficmaster and is a one off install with no ongoing subscription so all in all a bit of a result.
Nice one Mel,
Ordered mine last week. There is a shortage of discs at the moment but it has been ordered and should be in the dealers in a couple of weeks. I think the free upgrade offer is only valid until sometime in June and then normal costs will apply. Also, in addition to this, I am aware of a few owners who have retro-fitted RNS-E and they have managed to get the upgrade FOC too.

What's the procedure to apply for the upgrade? I qualify but haven't had the letter.
You can just contact your dealer direct although some are being a bit funny about it and may say that it is not free. If you get any problems tell them to check their desktop as a memo was sent to all dealers on the 17th/18th Dec informing them of the upgrade. If you get any problems pm me and I will give you the contact details for the point of contact at Audi UK who is dealing with all this.

) this memo was sent to the Audi dealers on the 18th Dec

My upgraded TMC DVD was supplied and installed by my dealer last Saturday, it only takes 10 minutes and is totally free.
Some unscrupulous dealers are trying to charge people £100 for it.
