So this "early 2015" is rubbish? That's what my salesman said..!Golf MY2016 (starting at next month production) is getting upgraded to MIB-II platform with CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink support.
A3 MY2016 (June 2015) will be "technologically outdated" for +1 year until A3 MY2017? (June 2016) that's strange.

Audi have already sent details of the changes for the 2016 MY to the dealers. Perhaps your salesman needs to read it.
Um, he isn't a big tease.
@h5djr is a valuable and valued member of this forum, with a wealth of information that he gives freely.
The info and links have been posted in this very thread, on more than one occasion.
All dealers will also have this info.
As @veeeight said there is a list within this thread please read the whole thread and you'll find it. It covers all audi models too!I have just flipped through all the pages and wondered if @djr had a summary of what Audi dealers have been sent which hopefully will be a. definitive and b. stop the speculation.

can't say I'm a big fan. too 'Nissan R35' looking. much prefer raw dials to feel more engaging and less like I'm playing GT5 on my playstation.I wonder if the facelift model will get the new TT's fancy LCD display *fingers crossed*
It's a long time to wait!
won't make me part with mine. changes won't be as drastic as it was for the 8P S3 I think. correct me if I'm wrong but the 8P came out in 2006 and the facelift followed in 2008 so 2016 could well be a possibility. not fussed either way.I'm quite relaxed about it and don't think any facelift will see significant changes anyway, perhaps a few tweaks and some extras added into the standard spec. Certainly isn't putting me off my September collection
What a horrible colour. Audi really don't advertise well.
The A1 also has the same DRLS from Feb 15Agreed, looks like a new set of lights (possibly), and that's about it. I would be surprised if they changed the lights though, as the eyebrows DRLs are the signature look of the A3 range. I'd take it all with a big pinch of salt until Audi actually release something
So, absolutely minimal changes mused by someone who thinks there may be a facelift. Why do these people bother?
Currently the start / stop system only indicates it's working through the DIS.
By adding it to the rev counter it will have a position for "off" (engine off or needs restarting with the key) and "ready" (engine ready to re-start when stopped at a junction or in traffic for example).
Currently when start / stop is in use the rev counter needle drops to zero. Only the DIS tells you the engine is ready to re-start.
BMW's have had this for a while

Wow that is lot of standard spec. I had a look at the price on the US website last night, at all this standard spec starts at 29,000 us dollars. That's pretty darn cheap compared to what we pay for our pitiful bcar spec car. Wish my car on order had of some of this base spec
By the way does anyone have a picture of the new MY16 interior mirror yet?
From the Geneva 2015 motorshow pictures I've seen of the RS3 the interior mirror is the same as what is fitted to my car. What change were you expecting ?
One of the things listed as changing on the MY16 change (BW22 cars this year onwards) was an interior mirror redesign, just curious since it was about the only change LOL
oooh mine must be MY16 too as I also picked my car up today and looks the same as yours
