Yes - this is EXACTLY what's happening to me. Literally just came on here to ask the same question. Every morning it's fine, and on the way home it's TMC PRO and I've no idea if the road with the traffic flashpoint I can either go down or avoid is bad today or not.

Tried enabling CarPlay again yesterday to try out Google Maps. Don't bother. The interface is terrible. Might work on a touch-screen, but not with a rotary controller. And, if you've got Virtual Cockpit, it won't let you show it on there (I tend to have the main screen on a zoomed-out view and...

Love my A4, would happily stick with it, but perhaps get an Avant in order to get a more usable boot - 3 sets of golf clubs is a squeeze in the saloon. Or a Q5. Would be nice to go back to an SUV. Depends on what I can afford of course!

I just reset my long-term on the trip computer every time I fill up.

Maybe whoever was weighing it didn't get out the car when they did it!

I've got the 1.4 - no complaints at all with it. Would I prefer the 2.0? Sure. More power for the same fuel economy sounds great, but for me it wasn't worth the extra outlay.

Pretty sure your insurance company would be not interested in paying out if someone takes a hammer to the window, hops in and drives off...

Ha, yeah don't go to Tesco - their own brand electricity is not as good!

You can get Siri to do all that without using Carplay too :D

I gave up with Car Play. It seems to stop me from being able to use the MMI/VC to make calls, unless I go into CarPlay on the MMI, which is incredibly annoying as it's several presses to do that. It doesn't show album artwork, and you can't use Google Maps or Waze. Good idea, very poorly...

Mine came with the screws and nuts and it all fit perfectly.

Don't CarWow and co often get about that much off of the price anyway? I'm pretty sure I did. I take the scrappage deal to mean that they just give the same discount as via CarWow because that is what they can play with in general. I'd suggest a CarWow quote, and then see what you can get in...

It is indeed the same as the B8 one. I got mine from a Parts Request on here. Not sure on the actual part number though.

I've got into the habit of pulling down on the gear selector to put it in Sport when I come up to a junction or roundabout if I don't want it to cut off. My wife's car also has start-stop, but it's a manual gearbox and if you put the clutch in it doesn't cut off, so it's not an issue in those...

There seemed to be some evidence posted on other threads that it was now possible to tell that one had been fitted, even when removed. Whereas before, it was not possible to detect.
