Installation Process:
- MMI Firmware: To begin, ensure that your MMI firmware version is P5098. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the comprehensive manual provided (click here).
- Virtual Cockpit Update: The installation process for the Virtual Cockpit update is similar to that of the firmware update.

When prompted to start the update, place the remote key in the proximity area near the side of the steering wheel to enable remote key reading. This step is necessary to confirm the presence of the remote key. Once completed, you can proceed to the next step.
