    Traffic jam assist

    I'm guessing the actual 'coding' isn't too critical - anything around 0.5 l should do it, but I wonder if it's limited to S-Line flat-bottomed wheels only, or can be retro-fitted to round wheels too. :smiley:

    Cruise control increments

    I'm pretty sure when I suggested this a few months ago, someone without ACC said their speedo was also non-linear. I don't believe we got to the bottom of this, but I concur that with the ACC on my MY2014 car the increments below 40MPH are 2.5MPH, and 5MPH above.

    Cruise control increments

    I'm pretty sure the minimum can't be changed. I once read somewhere that if the advanced menu was enabled then all sorts of things could be changed, but those that have had it done have found it only allows the default setting to be changed, so I haven't bothered. Although I regularly drive on...

    6-speed DSG "crawl"

    What I find irritating is that it will roll back slightly sometimes when using ACC on an incline when following slowly moving traffic which then comes to a halt. It won't roll back far, but it's noticeable in the car, and may be enough to scare the car behind if it's too close ;)

    AMI Ipod question

    Likewise I don't have this problem with an iPhone 4S (red collar). It will always pick up where it left off, unless I've done a software update in between. It does get confused if I alter the playlist it was playing in iTunes and go back to play via the AMI, but that's entirely understandable in...

    Adaptive Cruise Fails to Brake to a Stop - Nearly Hits Car!

    So what do you think those of us who are using ACC are doing instead of looking around, both front and rear, making sure we're aware of other traffic? We don't suddenly go into a trance just because we let an automatic system take some of the strain of maintaining a safe distance behind traffic...

    Adaptive Cruise Fails to Brake to a Stop - Nearly Hits Car!

    As you've said, not 'seeing' stationary traffic is a limitation of the system, but you'd also get problems approaching significantly slower traffic when travelling at motorway speeds. I always intervene, either by braking myself if it seems necessary, or by reducing the selected speed so that...

    DAB vs FM volume

    I connect via AMI. I've just done a few checks - the 'input level' option appears on the iphone settings menu when used with AMI and via Bluetooth. However, via Bluetooth the sound level is significantly quieter - I couldn't get it remotely close to the radio volume even if the input level was...

    DAB vs FM volume

    I don't tend to use media - I generally have my iPhone connected, and that has an option on the settings menu to change the input volume so you can match it to the radio. Is there no similar option for media? (Edit: for 'media' above I meant SD card, as I realised after I posted that the...

    Coming home, leaving home (exterior lighting settings)

    I have similar problems. It seems to work ok if I just get out of the car and lock the doors, but not if I get something out of the boot and then lock up. This is usually when I've put the car in the garage, so may be something to do with: stopping the car; restarting to drive into the garage...

    Mmi Music Browsing Issues (tech Pack)

    Unfortunately this behaviour seems common with a lot of media players, for example smart TVs. One reason for this is that the 'part of a compilation' tag, which can be set in iTunes or with tag editors, is not an official tag, so seems to be ignored by these players. I've no idea why they...

    A3 Drive Select Modes

    No - not until you manually re-select via driver select or the gear shift.

    A3 Drive Select Modes

    I'm not sure that simply pressing drive select button once actually does anything apart from displaying the currently selected mode. My guess is that on the manual there's no obvious display of any change made by drive select, but on the s-tronic if the car is left in dynamic over an engine...

    Iphone Initialising

    Well, as I said in my earlier post, once I completed the recovery mode install, and restored from backup (which is a lengthy, but straightforward process, as it involves re-syncing everything from iTunes) everything was fine with the MMI in the car. I'm not going to engage in the Apple vs...

    Iphone Initialising

    Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I updated my 4s last night and this morning it just connected as normal to the AMI - no problems whatsoever. I wish I could say the same about the update itself - it failed and I had to do a recovery mode install & restore from backup. Fortunately I'd...

    Little surprises?

    My guess too. There's a 'slideshow' option in the DAB functions screen (to the left of the 'i' option that gives you the programme details, currently playing song etc.), but I don't listen to any stations which broadcast that data.

    A1 Sline Options

    If you register at https://my.audi.com/content/uk/myaudi/en/home.html.html you will be able to get this information yourself. You'll need the VIN rather than the registration number.

    Range Display Limited To 385 Miles?

    With my 1.8 TFSI it usually reads 420 after a fill up, then following a commute to and from work (70 miles total) it often reads 425! I like the idea of a 70 mile journey using negative amounts of fuel :) I don't think I've ever got near to a 500 mile range in reality though, but then I try to...

    Little surprises?

    Oh dear - I always give them the spare key, which rarely gets used for anything else. I guess they won't find much useful info on there.

    Nice weather = more mobile speed traps

    It's probably the road where the local councillors or a high-ranking police officer lives.
