The current A3 platform dopes not include the needed hardware to support this function.Out of interest ...why is that?
Indeed however the needed telematics control module is not compatible with the current MQB platforms’ central electrics module.That’s how they get you to buy the new one whenever it comes out.
The tech has been about for years. Have had it in my merc for years.

I will dis merc all day long, horrible carsEven merc offered an official retrofit solution for this stuff for the older cars. Think it was called Mercedes me. Think it was a obd adapter type thing. It’s very useful. Can check fuel level, tyre pressure, location, screenwash and a whole host of other stuff including opening doors, boots windows. Even told you if you left the doors unlocked.
It would be nice if Audi did the same.
I’m not here dissing Audi or merc. Just a car fan that like tech toys.
You're not missing much mate, have it on the A5 coupe and this is how often i've used it:Is it possible to use the myaudi app to lock and unlock the car? I don't seem to have any options available within the app, so I assume it's not a feature enabled for the FC 8V?
Is that all you get?You're not missing much mate, have it on the A5 coupe and this is how often i've used it:

First time was when I first got the car and set it all up, the second time was when the app updated and I tested it again!!!
I suppose its not that big a deal, but I do like a gadget. As per AlS3BE I thought you do do a few other things with it as well.You're not missing much mate, have it on the A5 coupe and this is how often i've used it:

Oh yeah you get car location/map, fuel limit and range, next service due, local dealership, loads of stuff,Is that all you get?
No other info like fuel, location etc ?

On the MyAudi app I get a map which I can use to send locations to the car for use by the satnav, which is quite useful. However this map doesn’t appear to offer any other functions like car location. It seems to show where I’m currently located, but not the car location. Or am I missing something?
Sorry if I’m being dim, but I don’t follow.
I can connect to the car via the MyAudi app and AudiConnect, to the extent that I can send addresses
to the MMI. What else do I need to do so that I can see the car’s location on the MyAudi app?

Thanks AIS3BE. The MyAudi app has been so unstable in recent months that it’s difficult to know what
functionally it has any more.
Ormesome: Thanks, but I know how to send destinations to the car and how to retrieve them to use in the satnav, as I explained in my earlier posts. I use this feature regularly. My query was about locating the car, and it seems that this feature is no longer available in the latest incarnation of MyAudi.
