dealer has said there is a possibility of it coming earlier but to expect late September and not be disappointed. I have specced led lights and sunroof. cant wait to see if there is a vast improvement with thgem. I have also gone for sd nav - does that integrate with led lights?
We ordered first week in Feb, and only today we finally got a confirmed build week 29, so approximately Oct delivery.
The Spec Guide says you have to have the Tech Pack High with Audi Connect to have the ability for the LED headlights to integrate with the Navigation.

You certainly don't need Connect and I think I've seen other threads that have stated that they work with any nav. I'm not 100% sure though. But if not they will still operate based on speed and steering.
I'm only quoting from the Spec Guide!
LED headlights PX7
- In conjunction with Technology package with Mobile telephone preparation - High with Audi Connect (WB4)
the navigation data works with the LED headlights to control the light distribution with motorway light and
country light modes using the stored route data from MMI Navigation plus with MMI Touch;
- Junction light, which provides a wide front light setting, as well as travel mode, which switches between rightand left-hand drive modes assisted by GPS data
And of course it will operate based on speed and steering but that wasn't what he asked!
Keep reading about these long waits for S3's. Just don't get it myself. Waited 10 weeks for mine, from payment of deposit to collection. Purchased from Stansted Audi. Just ask the dealer to spec amend on the production plan and you'll be talking in weeks, not months.
Some of these people are in Oz so suffer extended delivery time even with a "reasonable" build date.
Some of the long waiting times experienced are for the saloon, there's definitely less of these going around at the moment.
This is the standard e-mail I get back from my dealer:sign_unfair:
âTodayâs live status system show your vehicle is on the system but awaiting a scheduled build week. Audi have announced late last week that due to unprecedented worldwide demand for the A3 Saloon range lead times are likely to be longer than original forecasts but your order is a priority sold car so will get a slot as soon as possibleâ
And a sedan in Sepang Blue, that doesn't help either.
It took close to 5 months before we were told our build slot, ordered on the first weekend in Feb, and was finally told on Saturday that we got slotted in for a BW 29.
Yep, I ordered end of March so basing this on your wait could be end of August before I get given a build date.
Oh sorry, must I state 'UK only post' every time
Would of course be even more helpful if people actually stated their location in the first place

Don't get so upset - I thought we were all trying to help each other??

I agree
