This is interesting, I was told by my dealer (who actually personally owns a new 8V S3) that the non smoking pack is basically that they just don't give you the silver ashtray, nothing else changes. He said don't bother
A dealer 'Owning' a car... there's a novelty! Seems your dealer isn't as clued up on Audis as many folks on here are! ;-0
I've just ordered the non smoker 12v plastic/chrome plug that replaces the cig lighter and it's only about £4.50 inc vat.
Have you got the part number please? Easy to fit???
Thanks
Its just a plug so replaces the pull-out cigarette lighter part

Hope the 12v is permanent live in the boot! Does anyone know. Ideal for cool boxes.
I agree we used our luggage compartment socket for the same, but in the 8V Owner's Manual under Electrical Sockets it shows pictures of the one in the front console, the one in the rear passenger area at the end of the centre console and the one in the luggage area and in says in a WARNING box under all three "The socket will only work when the ignition is switched on." so I assume it applies to all three.
On my wife's A1 she just has the socket in the centre console and that only works with the ignition on.
1-0 to the 8P it seems.
I also thought that removing the smoking pack isn't just about the sockets but the power supply as well. I'm sure I've read this somewhere in this forum...
You might be right, but the image shows the visible difference.
I opted for this just in case its a better power supply, and for the nicer looking aspect of it.
i might buy the cup holder separately
