Hi all,
Ok so I'm planning on switching from my current S3 to an A4. Bit larger, more practical, better interior, updated tech and overall cheaper to run. Just won't be quite as much fun but hey.
Spec I'm looking at is the A4 Avant 2.0TFSI S-Line S-Tronic with Comfort&Sound, Storage Pack and Navarra Blue metallic paint. This will be a straight personal lease.
Unfortunately it seems Audi have moved away from the smorgasbord of options towards a few basic packs and very limited option choices. I hear this is due to EU emissions regs but who knows. I do know that picking and choosing all the individual little options was half the fun. Still it seems the S-Line with those two option packs covers pretty much everything I'd want or need.
Couple of questions though.
I presume the Google Maps functionality that has been reported here only affects older models and new cars won't have any issues with this going forward? I've just lost this myself on my S3 so know what a pain it is.
It seems the phone box option which provides the wireless charging pad under the armrest is only available on the Vorsprung model and can't be added to any other trim, is that correct? Also is this required for wireless Carplay or does that work on all models?
I've generally not been a fan of the full keyless systems due to security concerns but will effectively get this foisted on me by the C&S pack. Do we know whether Audi have implemented the motion sensors in their fobs that stop them transmitting when left stationary or will I need to start putting my keys in a metal box every night?
The Hill Hold Assist function refers to keeping the car stationary on inclines but does it actually hold the car against 'auto creep' on a level surface too, as does the system in my S3?
Thanks for any input, might think of more things soon
