I have a 2014 Audi A6 (presumably all part of the VAG group systems will be similar) and looked into getting the latest sat nav SD card for it and it came up around £300 and needed to be done at an Audi dealer.

Turns out the SD card is "locked" to the car and in order to do it the car needs to be connected to servers in Germany to do the pairing (or something like that). looking into it i found several examples of people trying various methods themselves and ended up bricking the entire in car entertainment system, resulting in a bill for thousands to completely replace it.

So I decided that my phone, Google maps and its navigation would do me just fine...
