I just bought my 2014 TDI Exec. Have not started to update anything since purchase, so I assume I have an old FW version. I have VCDS and will follow your instructions provided in link. Will send you a follow up message when completed next week.
I think I have what you need. Did a full auto-scan and adaptation backup of modules 56 and 5F. I probably can't send PM yet. Let me know if you need more in your PM, and how to get them to you.
I first tried a regular update and was told the sw version didn't match (thus I was denied an update). I actually have split firmware. MU version 706 with MOST version 142 (should be 711 as far as I can tell).
I had unlocked the green screen and performed an emergency update. It put me tot he exact same software I'm having problem with except it completely disabled my NAV system.
I am honestly quite frustrated as I can't do much of anything with it right now... I'd love to get it working right whether on 544 or 711 or something newer.... I wish we had a true EQ for custom settings.
You don't set it to ROW. But you MUST check the box under SWDL to ignore the region and variant. Variant is the keyword here. It forces the unit to skip the whitelist check.
I will have to try that. Somehow in the reset my Nav system was turned off and says please contact the dealer to turn it on. Does this mean they have to re-code the vehicle for the trim level (Exec in my case)?
yrktreg thanks for starting this thread, the delayed startup after I updated to v711 is annoying.
Like we have discussed before system seemed to boot up from a "sleep" mode prior to the v711 update and now acts like it did a complete system shutdown when car is off for more than 20/30 minutes.
I placed the 2 directories and one file from the 711 firmware iso on the SD card. I had someone unlock the greenscreen (I don't have VCDS). Then I was able to make the settings and try an emergency update.
The update took about 20 minutes (I have the 90 Mb/s SD card).
After the update it said MU version 706 and MOST version 146 (should be 711 correct)?
This is the exact same problem. I'm not sure what else can be done....
Any other thoughts?
