I'm a huge fan of the interior "strip/ring" lighting, and in particular the B&O speaker lights, the MMI touch dial light, and the cup holder lights that I retrofitted. Really nice detail and gives the interior a premium look at night (in my opinion). I also love the touch lock/unlock feature on...

As far as I can tell there's no fix, at least none that I can find in the various threads that I've found on the topic. Apparently Audi is ignoring the complaints, and went so far as to tell one person the crackle is "just a characteristic of the stereo" and it's "operating as designed". This is...

I have the B&O system, and while I think the sound quality is great and worth the money, on some music I get the dreaded "static" sound that has been reported here in other threads. For me this tends to be most prevalent with bluetooth streaming, so if you do get a chance to demo the B&O system...

Having recently moved from a 2008 VW Passat to a 2015 A3 2.0T just a couple of months ago, I am already sold on the quattro. I really struggle to make this car lose traction during acceleration and cornering, wet or dry. Granted, I'm just an average driver but I feel much more confident. I also...

I'd be interested to know if it is even possible to access Apple Music via Audi Connect Wifi. I cannot access Google Play Music on my Android phone, even when playlists are downloaded locally. Bluetooth works fine, but the quality via bluetooth is disappointing IMO.

This is an old thread, but I just wanted to chime in and say thanks to everyone who posted info and photos. I just completed this retrofit on my A3, and for about $45 it's a very nice touch! It compliments the MMI dial and B&O speaker strip lights very nicely! With all of the information in this...

Interesting, maybe you're right that it's actually INRIX! Reading that article, I have the INRIX services described (like nearby fuel prices and parking spots). I can't seem to find the words "INRIX" or "Sirius" anywhere in MMI, so it's hard to conclusively determine what the service is, but the...

Thank you Veeeight! Indeed I am not in the EU. I'm sorry I neglected to mention this earlier. I believe my traffic data is served by Sirius, but even this is hard to determine conclusively because I don't see any mention of any named traffic services in the MMI interface. I know I'm getting live...

Am I looking in the right place for "Dynamic Traffic Avoidance"? Should I expect an option titled "Dynamic Traffic Avoidance" under the "Settings --> Route Criteria" screen? This is making me feel not very smart! Main Nav Settings screen: Route Criteria screen: And, maybe my MMI...

Hmmmm.....maybe I need to take a closer look at the options inside MMI. I have the technology pack (at least I think I do?....touch dial MMI, high res screen, google earth view, hard drive for nav and music?).

Just out of curiosity, do you guys actually have the option to turn on "Dynamic Traffic Avoidance"? I see this option documented in the MMI operating manual, but for the life of me I cannot find it in the system. Apparently this should be listed in the "Route Criteria", but it is not there for...

Tested it out this morning with a destination/route. It seemed to work as described by veeeight. There was one road with construction on it about 10 miles away (along my route), and it popped up first in the list. After that one there were plenty of others listed that were 150+ miles away.

Excellent. Thank you! I had not noticed that. I think I've only tried selecting this with no route in progress (expecting it would show what's up ahead on the current road). Thanks!

Cool, thanks for confirming and saving me some time! I'll just keep running it from SD card.

I'm about 3 weeks in with my 2015 Audi A3 (CPO) Premium Plus 2.0T. I love this car, even the Dakota Grey which wasn't my first choice! It has Nav, heated seats, rear view cam, side assist. I've already rented a VCDS cable and enabled a few of the common things like comfort close (with visual...
