    Auto-handbrake in Park?

    OP, as others have said use OBD11 or Carista to change setting to apply handbrake automatically once car is put into P. Even better when you're switching off the engine, no need to press P first - just press the ON/OFF engine button and the car will automatically select P and enable handbrake.

    Car "cover"

    For my A6 I have the 'Stormshield' cover from Specialised Covers and its easily the best car cover I've had. Far better than el cheapo ebay tat. https://www.specialisedcovers.com/stormshield-outdoor-cover-1

    Few questions

    You will need to buy OBD11 Pro as the starter pack doesn't allow you to do stuff like long adaptations (required for enabling wireless carplay) https://obdeleven.com/en/home/62-pro-pack-0758277987813.html

    Few questions

    OP, are you using an iPhone? If so, then you should be able to enable wireless Apple CarPlay on your A4. You would need to buy an OBD11 dongle but once you have this, its fairly easy. The instructions below are for the A6 C8, but it shares the same MLB platform as the A4 B9 so many codings are...

    Facelift 2020 A4 B9.5 dynamic headlights

    I also tried using OBD11 on my 2020 A6 Black Edition with Matrix lights. It did diddly squat. As I said earlier, you need different headlamps, ones which are fitted to RS4, RS5, RS6 etc models etc for sweeping animations to work.

    Facelift 2020 A4 B9.5 dynamic headlights

    You actually need physically different LED headlights & taillights to get the animations - you can do all the coding in the world on the standard LED and Matrix LED lamps but it will do diddly squat.

    40 TFSI 6k miles review

    OP, happy to hear that you're pleased with your 40 TFSI. Unfortunately my experience was the opposite. Having only ever owned diesels, I bought my first ever petrol car (brand new) in 2018 - A4 Avant Black Edition 2.0 TFSI 190. Loved the interior and the overall build quality of the car, but...

    Matrix LED no longer an option on A4

    I read somewhere that the Matrix lights on the A4 B9 are capable of producing 32 million different light patterns. That’s impressive!! Also unlike BMWs and Mercedes’ implementation, Audi/VAGs Matrix lights use the on board software to control the light pattern.

    Matrix LED no longer an option on A4

    They were also available as a standalone upgrade on the B9 sline and black editions. I know this because I remember I paid around £500 to upgrade to Matrix lights on my 2018 A4 Black Edition.

    Matrix LED no longer an option on A4

    The lack of Matrix lights on the B9.5 A4 Black Edition was one of the main reasons I went for the A6 C8 Black Edition instead - on which they are standard. I had a Matrix lights on a 2018 A4 Black Edition and found them to be superb on pitch black country lanes. Given that the 2020 A4 Avant...

    2021 Map Update

    If you have an active Audi Connect subscription, won't your car automatically download any map updates like it does on my A6 C8?

    2020 Tyre Dilemma 245/35 r19

    @A4Ultra The PS4's are indeed an excellent tyre, however..... once you're down to 4-5mm of tread, they become noisy as hell which I found to be very irritating. If you want an alternative tyre which performs just as well as the PS4's (if not better) but without the noise and offers better...

    2020 Tyre Dilemma 245/35 r19

    OP, you might also want to consider Vredestein Ultrac Vorti's. They are a newer version of the legendary Ultrac Sessanta's. On my A6 C8, I've tried nearly every popular tyre in stock size (255/40/R20) such as Michelin PS 4S, Goodyear Assy 5, Continental Sport Contact 6 etc and the Ultra Vorti...

    Facelift Audi A4 2.0 TFSI 40 - S Tronic Black Edition (Comfort + Sound)

    Go for the 40 TDI Quattro. You'll be surprised how quiet and refined the 40 TDI engine is, hardly any different to the petrol. Seriously.

    Facelift Audi A4 2.0 TFSI 40 - S Tronic Black Edition (Comfort + Sound)

    Oh believe me, you will definitely miss the torque...and the full economy of the 190 TDI as well. Having only ever owned diesels in my life, I finally bought my first ever petrol engine car in 2018 - it was an A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI 190 PS. Lovely car but i never managed to get more than 33-35 MPG...
