    Little surprises?

    If the key battery is getting low, when you next start the car, the dash will inform you of the low battery status, and a small yellow key icon will appear on the dash, until the battery is changed.

    Gps signal blocked for google maps

    Google maps was never available for 2014 model. Is GPS available for "normal" car sat nav? The car does not need to use your phone for GPS, and should pick this up . Have you tried inserting a Sim card into the cars sim slot (assuming it has one)?

    A3 Service Inspection Reset

    My S3 Inspection Service is due at the end of the year. Can Audi reset the Inspection Service earlier, so it coincides with the annual service, which is months earlier?

    bye bye google satellite overlay

    Got my S3 firmware updated today for satellite maps. (67 FL with Tech pack). Audi connect license for everything expires with the extended Audi warranty late 2022, so will lose the maps at this point.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Fitted a second Boot Hook to my S3 saloon. Audi should have fitted 2 like the A4, but corner cutting meant only one curry hook. I also prefer symmetry.
