I know it's a pain in the a4se but at least this way it should get fixed properly.

VW tech dept have asked for a new gps aerial cable to be run loosely around the inside of the car outside of the trim just to check its not a cable fault.  Although current cable passes all diag tests as new MIB is £5,000   If this fails then a new unit will be fitted.  No complaints from me the master tech involved is excellent but he has to follow the guidelines I guess due to the costs involved.

Just returned from VW with new MIB fitted quick test on the way home found it to be spot on    Real test will be tomorrow from cold so to speak    Anyways unit is running later hardware and firmware than the removed unit but is has 2014/2015 maps installed where as I think I upgraded to 2015/2016?  Won't be doing this upgrade again in case the upgrade caused the issue (not certain but once done cannot be reversed so not risking it  )

New Hardware is H44 & New Firmware is 0376

My old unit was running H43 & 0362

The service from local dealer has been excellent and being able to email the master tech direct made life a lot easier especially when sending over pics of the issue.

Will update after cold start test......wish me luck

Did you upgrade to the new maps?

Did you upgrade to the new maps?

No just in case it was the maps although doubtful.  As once you upgrade you can't go back

Personally if it was me I would be upgrading otherwise before you know it you will be out of warranty and have outdated maps.
I know its an inconvenience but surely with the safety of a warranty behind you, now is the ideal time!

Nobody else has mentioned the same problem after a map upgrade.

What's the rush ? Car is 09/2014 so I have 3 yrs, I will wait for the update in either Nov 2015 or May 2016 & still have 16 months to fix it if needed, could even wait until May 2017.  Yearly updates are usually a waste of time I normally only update every 2 years anyway. I only did this update to see if it would work problem was I did it before I really used the previous maps so couldn't judge if the issue was there before

You get 5 years map updates not 3.
