A company called Kufatec sell a coding dongle for £150 that unlocks this function. There are posts in the A4 B9 forum on this.

It is, I emailed the company a few days ago and they confirmed it's fine.

I've posted on the original thread you created on this topic, the one entitled "Road Speed limit" - this is one for pictures of our cars.

This Thread is a bit quiet so I thought I'd share.
Just finished by the detailer - he's made a new car look even better than new! (sorry the photo just doesn't do it justice) Almost a shame to drive it.
Hopefully the ceramic protection will help make keeping it looking good relatively easy too.
If anyone is looking for a detailer in Sussex let me know - the guy I used was excellent and I'd happily recommend.

Looking good, but why just you don't share the name of the detailer anyway?

Hi Cuke2u,

Wasn't sure if it was against any rules to be promoting detailers on the site, but for those in Sussex (or close by) who are looking for a detailer I had a great experience with Ideal Valeting. Dave did an excellent job (new car detail & ceramic protection) and was a pleasure to deal with as well.

Have a good weekend folks

Thanks for this, I don't think it is against forum rules as I published the detailer who did my car...

Looks great Sean, I know what you mean about the C7. Much more refined and dynamic as well.

Loving the daytona grey and DaveW's silver. Both look really nice! I was tempted by daytona grey as I do a lot of mileage but my previous A6 was that colour so thought I'd go for a change.

I did own a white A6 C7 for 8 days a few years ago but someone drove into me and wrote it off so ended up with daytona grey as I needed a replacement quickly! The white was strangely satisfying to polish (albeit I did that the day it got written off, turned out to be a waste of time lol)

Thanks Dave, yes very rare over here at the moment also. haven't seen another white one yet, not even in the dealers.
Getting a lot of admirers at present, the Car that is!! the only thing i really miss is the headrests that were in the C7.

Me too, it was great being able to pull them forward and actually rest your head on them - the headrests, not the admirers!

I picked the white for two reason, one it makes the chrome look better as I don’t like the contrast with other colours, and two the wife chose white lol.

Yeah I love it, just need it to go dark to go test the HD Matrix lights

I think they look great in white, the front really stands out with the white. Well wear Jenkobenko looks great in the avant model also, the Matrix Lights are brilliant so the HD ones should be fantastic. Thanks for sharing

Just been out to see what these HD Matrix are all about, i was blown away. May swell have been daylight, and the way they blank out other cars was class. Really quick and nobody flashed.
