    If you have MMI Plus it's free - you can download in the car or download to SD card and install from that - I am pretty sure of that?

    [European only - sorry RoW!] Euro Football on Audi Online...

    Anyone else noticed that the Euro Football schedule (and looks like results when available) is available on Audi Connect in the car for those with MMI Plus? A couple of screenshots attached. Nice little touch... not _quite_ the same as watching the matches or indeed not quite the same as full...

    MMI Plus Artwork Annoyances

    Agreed agreed and .... agreed. This is my one big problem with Audi - and to be fair, most other auto manufacturers out there... the technology is Sooooo far behind what's actually achievable, it's shocking - but just a result of their "traditional" car manufacturing lifecycles. I've started to...

    MMI Plus Artwork Annoyances

    @austinpass welcome to the group and congrats on the new motor. I'm afraid I don't have an answer, but can confirm that I see exactly the same results on my A6 from last May (2015)... My setup is: - Samsung Galaxy Note 4 connected to Audi via WiFi - SIM in above device used in rSAP mode for...

    MMI Connect / Napster / Android 6

    Good tip I will try that...!

    MMI Connect / Napster / Android 6

    @DaveW similar thread but different topic... I too have a Samsung device (Galaxy Note) and do experience oddities sometimes... at times it just won't connect... have you had that? I've tried rebooting the phone and MMI (with that key combination) and this resolves the issue, but it seems to...

    2017 A6 - what to do next

    Yeah A6 eTron was going to be inevitable, but I hadn't realised it might be out so 'soon' - will it be the same archaic IT infrastructure used by Audi (and to be fair from what I can gather, the same as most other manufacturers...) though? When will they make the jump to, erm...mid-noughties IT...

    2017 A6 - what to do next

    @gordie1973 great post and some great responses above. Made me smile as I thought, "phew others are thinking the same thing!". I'm on my 3rd A6 in 3 years (have May 2016 at the moment). I love the car, have two kids - thus comment above about boot space is spot on for me - but have started to...

    2.0 tdi MPG

    Crikey I hadn't thought of that! I thought you actually had to press the button when it was set in the middle to enable the wing mirror heating...? That would affect MPG... good shout. One day I must read the manual...!

    Our A6 Ultra

    Car looks good! I have been looking at getting replacement puddle lights for my (May) 2015 A6 Ultra... found these:

    Data only SIM usage

    I loved your earlier quote @AtotheK , "The guy in 3 recommended 20 gig" ha ha! Think he saw you coming fella! ;-) 2Gig as mentioned above sounds about right for some streaming too. As I've said on other threads, streaming from a service like Spotify sounds _really_ good in the car... better than...

    Data only SIM usage

    HI there @AtotheK good question... it's a bit, "how long's a piece of string"-y though :-) Depends on how often you fiddle with Google Earth view and how far you drive. I'm doing about 900 miles a month and think I use just under a Gig of data - though I should probably recheck this. The 900...

    Rhyso's Family Wagon

    This is crackers.. I actually <oh the shame> _paid_ about £170 or so to update the Maps SD card from Audi back at the end of 2012 for my previous car.. .there was a road system near me that changed and it was infuriating having the sat nav complain the whole time (Don't ask like my wife does...

    Moving on from Multitronic to S tronic

    I never really got on with it and the delay as the "elastic band" wound all the way around to select reverse was infuriating and - parking on a downward slope - actually rather nerve-wracking! It used to roll forward and I hated that... haven't looked back since changing to S-Tronic I'm afraid...

    Boot (Trunk!) interior light bulb upgrades

    Thanks Rhyso.. can you recall which bulbs and ideally the size - I am pretty sure they are W5Ws - were needed i the back? I have the Ambient lighting pack so don't need the full kit, just the two bulbs for the trunk area...

    Boot (Trunk!) interior light bulb upgrades

    Wanted to keep this separate from the Puddle Light question... I was disappointed - just being fussy! - that Audi had "skimped" on he bulbs in the boot of my new A6 Avant... it's the Black Edition with the Ambient light package and all lights in the car are LED... except for the lights in the...

    Puddle light upgrades

    A friend of mine has upgraded the puddle lights on the underside of his S3's doors with replacement units that project the Audi Logo on the ground. Probably not to everyone's taste but I really liked it and would like to do the same for my new A6 Avant (C7) from May 2015. Does anyone have any...

    Audi Connect Fuel Prices Function

    I was going to say, "don't forget that it defaults to the cheapest first, not necessarily the closest..."... you have to switch it (every time? which is a pain) to sort by closest location first.... sounds like you've got it working though @DaveW

    Convenience Pack or not? Help please!

    Aaah but think of how happy the girls will be with the blinds.. as long as they survive them playing with them for the first few rides until they get bored!! :-) Been there with my two boys.. finally relented and specced Rear Heated Seats on the latest motor... gotta keep the kids happy to...

    Police Service History

    I think those are wise words from @elan2s how old is the car? The first few services are fluid top ups/oil changes aren't they? So the only thing missing would be the service updates. I too would expect that any major recall/important service updates would have been carried out when Audi...
