If I'm right in thinking iPhone 6's and Galaxy S5's won't fit in there?
* MMI only half-supports the iphone for messaging. It's the most common phone in the world!
Went on a road trip yesterday, did approx 400 miles. Half way through the trip the washer fluid warning light sounded, ok no problem or so I thought........
It went off every few minutes for the remainder of the journey (almost 2hrs) how ANNOYING sort it out Audi
If only there was a way for you to sort it....
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR, hate it with a passion.
Would be nice to have some settings on the dis to control the car instead of them all being on the MMI system.
Sometimes the car won't go in gear
It gets dirty too quickly.
I get backache on long journeys (over an hour) should have lumbar as standard, even if manual.
The sat nav forgets my home address, I've deleted now for obvious reasons, but it shouldn't just "disappear" from the system
No way to control spotify from my phone, my main way of listening to music now, not my iPod nano in the glovebox
No vanity mirrors as standard - embarrassing that a Peugeot 308 will come with them as standard.
There are other things I can think of as well, but they are the primary things on a day-to-day basis.

You can turn off the gear shift indicator with VCDS
* Select Module 17 (Instruments)
* Select Coding - 07
* Go to Long Coding
* Select Byte 1
* De-select Bit 5
The home address in the sat nav is linked to the phone that you have hooked up with bluetooth, which means that if you change your phone it'll disappear, and also anyone nicking your car (and not your phone) isn't going to find out where you live.
Thats because your washer fluid was teetering on the edge of the sensor, just use more washer fluid and it will dip further below the sensor and will just stay on the dash as a warning light instead of sounding every 5 mins.
Just thought of another. The tailpipes carb up too quickly and are a pita to clean.
It annoys me just *knowing* theyre dirty.
It seems most of the Sat/Nav problems could be solved by using a TomTom or Garmin Sat/Nav. I still use a 6 year old TomTom and don't get any of the problems mentioned. It it also hard-wired in to the car so there is on a very short (50mm) of wire showing. I can also use the excellent PGPSW camera database, easily download and add my own sets of POI's by connecting the unit to my laptop or PC out of the car.
If at some stage Audi decide to include a screen with a proper operating system we will be able to load whichever system we like at considerable less than Audi charge for the built-in Sat/Nav.
There's nothing wrong with the pronunciation from the satnav at all - I've never had any trouble understanding it.
.
but you haven't answered my question though,, are you referring to Aus. version, more specifically Sydney street names or are you referring to the UK version ?It does a pretty good job of street and town names in my experience.
Is that not quite abrasive and will cause damage over time?One word - Autosol.
Buy some, use it, believe in magic! Also works wonders in the bathroom, I've discovered

And I don't care how neatly you route your cables, an aftermarket nav system is an ugly mess compared to the integration of Audi's OEM system.
Personally I would much rather have a very flexible system that works as I want it to than one that just looks good (to some people) and costs a lot of money for what it is. When I used the inbuilt system for the day when I had a test drive I thought is was rubbish compared with what I'm used to.
As always, each to his own. At least, unlike the new A3 e-tron, the Audi Sat/Nav is still an option so we can each choose to have it or not. My post was prompted by the number of members saying about the things they don't like about the built-in Sat/Nav, all of which are available on my aftermarket unit.We know. You take every opportunity to say how rubbish you think the inbuilt Audi nav systems are and how much better your Tomtom is. I'm merely taking the opportunity to say that I don't agree with you at all. I think aftermarket systems look rubbish tacked on the dash, don't offer as nice or as large a display, don't integrate with the DIS nor lower audio volume to give directions. Sure they have advantages, such as speed camera warnings and lower cost but it's all a question of what's important to you and we all have different priorities.
I really need to find someone in the northwest with vcds.
