    MMI and Siri

    My thoughts exactly. Hopefully someone will port the software over from the A4 to the A3 given the hardware is more than capable and IIRC CarPlay was demoed on an A3 system. It would be a shame to cripple the technology due to the engineers being lazy especially as Audi said that CarPlay would...

    MMI and Siri

    I'm based up in High Barnet so if you are close then I'd be up for trying it out. I'm also intrested in how audi plays out the whole CarPlay and Google Car given that on the Golf GTE it appears to work. Wonder if the MMI can be updated or hacked to allow it especially since the new A4 has it as...

    Yup, chrome.

    MMI and Siri

    I'm driving the A3 e-tron so comes with the MMIplus - not sure if this is the same as the TechPack. Any idea what this setting does?

    MMI and Siri

    That's what I thought, however the voice button on the wheel seems to pass the voice directly to the phone. Without pressing (and holding) the button the phone doesn't pick anything up.

    Siri and MMI

    So I was really disappointed that the wheel voice button won't activate Siri on the iPhone and instead uses the Audi voice control system. However... I was messing around with the phone the other day and realised that the "Hey Siri" mode was deactivated so I switched it back on. Low and behold I...

    Fender bender - estimate

    This is just getting more and more complicated. I'll happily pass this over to insurance companies but don't want to be out of pocket - have to pay excess and be liable for an increase in premiums. Fortunately I had my wife in the back who can witness the accident, furthermore he can't claim...

    Fender bender - estimate

    London prices :sweat: Well I contacted my insurance (for notification purposes only) and they gave me all his insurance details. If he doesn't play ball and doesn't agree to go the VAG repair route where do I stand? The more I think about this I've never had an accident in 15 years, paid my...

    Fender bender - estimate

    Thanks all for the info. Had a few quotes now from 3x Audi garages (between £500-800) and Chipsaway (£250). If the damage was only £100 or so and a few hours in the shop then I'd just go the cash route, but it looks like it will be away for 3 days and I can't do without the car for that amount...

    Fender bender - estimate

    Yowzers!! It's just regular metallic paint (Monsoon Grey). I'll speak to them on Monday now :(

    Fender bender - estimate

    Just driving home tonight in my 1 month old e-tron and some idiot tries to edge past me in some traffic scratching the edge of the rear bumper. The damage is pretty minor with a few scratches that has taken the paint back to the black (I presume fibre glass) bumper just on edges. The guy wants...

    A3 E-tron mpg so far

    No I'm not deducting the EV miles from my calculation and the metric mpg is not really suited for plug in hybrid electric vehicles. Maybe miles/££ would be better suited. Unfortunately the trip computer in the car is based on a combination of EV and petrol consumption and the only other...

    A3 E-tron mpg so far

    Figures were calculated using the onboard trip computer and verified by the amount of petrol I've topped up with. With now a few extra 100mi on the clock and mainly EV trips my average mpg is 95-100mpg. I think your problem is that you are using hybrid hold, which basically relies on the ICE...

    A3 E-tron mpg so far

    I've had the car now for about 5 weeks and totalled 900mi and have used around 50L of petrol which was mainly for longer trips. The remainder has been purely on electric, including a 2x per week commute to work in central London (Westminster), 15mi each way. Fortunately I can charge at work...

    Subsidy

    My order form/invoice has the subsidy already included so the way I see it it's not my problem if it gets removed.

    Charging to Morocco in the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron

    At least the batteries won't get cold :)

    Audi A3 E-tron

    So the dealership got back to me today and said they cannot offer any form of solution to make up for the delay - which is now looking like 4 months from what was expected. Looks like I'll need to speak with Audi UK CS.

    Subsidy

    The £5k incentive was a nice bonus given the already high specification and probably wouldn't have opted for a etron if it wasn't included. Plus I didn't feel so bad adding a whole load of options which took it back up to close to the RRP.

    Audi A3 E-tron

    Good point..the specs suggest that is the COD model, but who knows?!
