Well the Mrs tells me my ashtray off eBay has arrived. She says its got ash in it, which doesn't reflect the description of " new".
lol, mine arrived this morning and appears to be new, no ash.

what happened to good old customer service, the days when the dealer would throw in a couple of goodies, tank full of petrol, flowers in the back for the wife, now it's, lets see how much money we can make! Sod the customer there just the cheque book.
My ashtray arrived from Ebay this morning too, and it is indeed brand spanking new as advertised.
Back to yesterday:
I was also 'forced' to have my photo taken with my wife and son in front of the new car so they could give us a photographic memento (I hate having my pic taken!).
I think you'll find you're now on the Dealer's Facebook page lol
In which case you should find it comes with a blue cable as a minimum, and some dealers are swapping it for the red cable. I can't remember anyone saying they had both chucked in for free, but you might be able to negotiate it. I had the costs from the dealer last week for the cables, and they are about £35 each.

You must ask for the picture and post it on the forum. Lol
Better still tell us the dealership name and we will find and post it on the forum.
The whole central console area is a joke on the 8V and one my least favourite features.
On the 8P, the non-smoking pack removed the built-in ashtray and made a very decent-sized and useful central storage area for sticking wallet/keys/etc. On the 8V it's hopeless. As there's no physical ashtray to remove, you gain no more space via it's removal and instead of a useful storage area we have two pointless cupholders. I personally never have drinks in the car so that entire area has been rendered useless to me which I hate.

No way!
What I'd really like is to find a black understated cup thing, possibly with a lid, which fits snugly in the cup holder and in which I can keep loose change. It rattles around like crazy in the cup holders and is a pain to get out.
i also never have drinks in the car, hence me buying an ashtray to fill one of the holes,I don't smoke either but the lid on the ashtray looks cool, and I'm sure I will find a use for it.

Ha ha...SJW, you have a little one on the way don't you...think you're in for a shock! Little ones like drinks/crisps/generally food in the car. Hour long journey with kids in the car and no drink...no chance!
Then there is car sick and when they get older it is mud and grime from the football pitch and chocolate Maccy D's milkshake and chewing gum.........only 18+ years of ruining your pride and joy before you see the light again.
I'd like to kmow too. Perhaps it's just a different rating of fuse. To be honest, if they'd put the same warnings in the brochure as they put in the manual I'd have gone for the non-smoking option anyway - I wouldn't miss the 'ash tray' that much, and would prefer a power connection that's 'approved'. Perhaps that's another argument for putting the manual online, so that we could check these things out before purchase.
Not having a manual online is the one thing that does really bug me.......and can't think of any reason why not, could easily spend hours digesting the contents
AgreeI couldn't agree more! I could while away my waiting hours learning how to use everything rather than asking so many questions
If you select the non smoking pack what happens to the cigarette lighter in the back?

Audi replaces it with another 12v socket.
Cheers, Paul.
In mine, with the smokers pack, the back lighter has a 12v logo on it rather than a cigerate logo like the front one. not sure there is any difference other than that, ive used both to charge phones and had no proplems.
I chose the 'non smokers pack' and I had the black plastic plug (above) fitted in the rear socket, and the chrome topped plug fitted in the front. Haven't even noticed if I have a socket in the boot!
i am in dispute with my dealer, I made a request for both the red and blue cables to be supplied with my car and I had the reply " all cables are available through the parts dept. at an additional cost"
When I picked my jaw off the ground I emailed back saying they should supply at least the red FOC. As usual I haven't had a reply.
Has Audi issued anything saying what should be supplied, does it say in the manual?
Update: The dealer has now said he will supply the cables and the ashtray FOC. (No smoking pack selected on order) But he is still maintaining that the mmi system doesn't come with cables as standard. But I am Happy.:icon_thumright:
