Upgrades for new..... well 2016 but new to me A7

[Woldennis]

Hi all, new here as I'm about to collect my 2016 a7 tues. All excited lol as I've test drove a few.

It's a 3.0 v6 black edition, only the 218 bhp but I've booked it in for gear box and engine remap to sort that.

It has the tech pack but I don't think it has apple car play or reverse camera, could anyone point me in right location for the best place to get the camera and does the sd card upgrade really allow you to update to car play and android auto?

Or I just saw the fixed 12 inch screen on another thread, any links and opinions?

Also any other must have upgrades or recommendations you guys or girls can recommend?

Thanks in advance

Congrats on the A7

Post a picture if you can.

My S7 is currently garaged as I’m working outside the UK for a bit. I miss driving it lol.

I’ve done a few mods to the S7, and though the engine mods won’t apply, most of the other cosmetic type stuff should work.

Here are a few links

MMI Upgrade
Wheely Good
Someone Else’s Mods

That should keep you busy for a bit, and give you some ideas. You can message me if you have any questions (May be a delayed answer as I’m in another timezone )

Here is she is, previous owner put the rs7 front grill on. I'm going to get the side vents and centre bar wrapped in gloss black though.

Had it remapped to 320 and also had the gearbox mapped too.

I installed the gloss black rear diffuser last night, pleased with result.

Next on the list is an rs nav I think, then rs7 air box.

Cars looking sweet

You can update the MMI firmware urself, to get AA/CarPlay

Rear camera install depends on where ur located. Vag car coding (north London) or Audi retrofits (west London)

Loving that diffuser, you got a link for it?

Cheers mate.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16598178...ASTtJYBQhG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY thats the diffuser link

I updated the software in the end, had a sketchy moment 2 days of owning where it was stuck in the engineering menu for about 2 hrs and wouldn't come out lol, got there in the end though.

I'm in Kent so not too far. Still toying with the rs nav idea but defo want the camera, going from a camera to sensors seems so odd. 2011 kia sportage with camera, 2016 A7 no camera, go figure lol.

The 360 degree camera looks interesting too.

Think the rs nav screen really updates the interior imo.

Got a feeling this car is going to be a money pit in terms on modding haha, already making lists

 

[Woldennis]

My list so far is:
Rs nav or similar screen install
Wrap side vents and centre bar of bumper in gloss black
Maxton front splitter, then potentially rear spats and side skirts in gloss black too.
Spray calipers in silver, they are looking grim at moment .... love the cadbury purple but not brave enough I think, maybe when I get new wheels.
RS6/7 air box install

Oh and my favourite mod lol, picked up this spigen key holder. Sick of the keys rattling around and tidies up the fob nicely I think

Looks like you actually have the RS style front bumper, grill and rear valence!

Looking good

My 19 yr old surprised me by washing the car whilst I was asleep, had been working nights so i wrapped the the centre bar in gloss black that evening, just the vents to do now. Absolute pain in **** to do, had to make inlays for the 2 vertical bits but pleased. Gonna do vents then add the splitter

Also swapped the rear badge for gloss black
