Thanks!!

 

Thanks for this, we have been wanting these digitally for a while

Good job.

 

Someone promised to upload them months ago but didnt - so I had to wait until I got mine to read all about it. Why car manufacturers can't make them available electronically I don't know - I have PDF's for almost everything I have - including irons and toasters from their manufacturers.

 

Yea, we didnt have access to them! Great job!

 

No problem - hope you (and anyone else who has downloaded them) found them a useful addition to the paper manual and for those without the tech pack too of course - I'm assuming you only get the CD to load if you have the jukebox rather than people couldnt work out what to do with it (as its a CD which includes an ISO which includes the HTML (in lots of languages - though all the pics are in german).

 

bump for those who missed it

 

Thanks!

 

Is it possible to share an iso version of the manual so it can be uploaded into the MMI system of the car?

 

Can just just put them on a SD-card and stick it in the MMI?

I tried putting the files onto an SD card then went into MMI, pressed CAR then chose Handbook, it then asks to I want to update I press yes, then asks for whether its CD or SD etc I chose SD1 and then scans the SD card and then comes back with an error saying 'medium is currently unavailable'.

I think this needs someone to make a CD image from the original CD in either iso format or nero image then upload so we can take an exact copy.

 

Yes - the CD-ROM is a CD-ROM - but it then contains an ISO image of a CD-ROM - which includes other things - I've only kept the UK/English part of the ISO - I could upload the ISO off the CD-ROM and you try that - but I suspect it might need the proper CD-ROM.

Why they don't give it with all cars I don't know - but the same goes for the full manual as a PDF (though that is easier for people to then copy and make books out of I guess).

I'll upload the ISO file (and anything else on the CD) to somewhere.

 

Right - I've uploaded it to here now - though thinking about it, where this gets you I don't know - probably nowhere. I would expect that you need the HD-SatNav/Tech-Pack/Jukebox to store the files - i.e. it doesnt run them from the CD-ROM - it uploads and stores them. And since you didnt get the CD-ROM with your car - then I'm presuming you don't have the HD-SatNav/Tech-Pack/Jukebox.

I couldnt use uploadrobots - as the file is 71MB in size (zipped) - so its here :- http://www.megaupload.com/?d=81VE3PZ7 (it sometimes takes a while to appear - virus checking probably). The file is called Audi_A1.ZIP - and is a ZIP of the root folder - one TXT file and one folder of the CD-ROM - the folder then includes 3 folders each with two more levels inside it each then including one file - 1 TXT, 1 ISO and one MANIFEST.

Enjoy - FWIW.

 

Thanks I will have a try.

 

That worked perfectly.

 

Perhaps it loaded it into some flash memory then somewhere within the MMI/3G. Good result.

 

My car has tech pack, full sat-nav along with jukebox, probably explains why it worked.

 

I have the same - so where is your CD-ROM then ?

Mine came with the manual - in a carboard envelope labelled "Audi A1 Onboard" - and a picture of putting it into the slot loader, pressing the "Car" button and then the "top right" of the 4 selection buttons - so I did it not knowing what it would do.

 

I didnt get one for some reason, not sure why although I will have a word with my dealer.

 

Strange - its just a cardboard sleeve - not a jewel case, could be easy to miss - or the dealership thought you'd not notice.

 

I now have the correct CD, picked one up from my dealer last night looks like it had been removed by someone as my car was one of the first cars to arrived into the dealer back last year.

 

Result - did you ask them if they forgot to give you anything else you should have had ?

 

The guy I know at the dealer said he seemed to think that someone took the CD from the book pack.

Probably to put it onto their own PC's.

 

My car was the first one they had which was S-Line with Technology Pack so that could have been why, bit cheeky but I have it now so all is well.

 

Bump for any recent joiners.
