    Facelift Car back from repair windscreen no tinted sunband

    Thanks for that - I didn’t know there was a camera in the windscreen for the Matrix Lights. I will get back on to them tomorrow to no doubt start the frustrating journey you’re on........ Good luck

    Facelift Car back from repair windscreen no tinted sunband

    Interested to read this - I booked my repair with Autoglass today. I told them I had Sun strip, auto wipers and auto lights. They did say that the replacement wouldn’t have Audi rings (I’m not bothered) BUT I didn’t mention I had Matrix lights - is the matrix system linked to the windscreen...

    Extreme Parking

    I wish I’d been even more extreme than I normally am. Some charmer has left a nice crease and scuff in the back bumper of my not yet 3 months old S3. Gutted.....

    Facelift Way To Change Default Radio Station Type!

    Did the original poster resolve this? I have the same problem. When I start up my radio shows FM/DAB, I then have to select menu, and select favourites. I want to start the car and radio favourites are displayed without having to make selections - should I be able to do this / do you think...

    Wireless phone charger not working

    Slight thread creep - sorry. I have wireless pad in mine but currently have an iPhone 6, so just plug it in and use the Car Play. If I go iPhone 8 for the wireless charging can you still use Car Play over Bluetooth or do you still need to plug it in? If so I’ll just get a 7 and keep plugging it in.

    S3 Realistic MPG

    It ain’t just BMW’s. I got near goosed by an A3 this morning. Dual carriageway..... I’m patiently following one HGV doing 56MPH who’s overtaking another HGV doing 55 1/2 MPH. I look in the mirror to see tell tale A3 lights steaming up behind me. Up my chuff, weaving from side to side looking for...

    S3 Realistic MPG

    Drive select does have Auto setting, but not really used it, so not sure how well it works. I’ve set my steering wheel function button to change drive select - quick and easy to change when you want.

    S3 Realistic MPG

    I certainly did buy the S3 with fuel economy in mind. For many, and me included, their car has a more mundane job to do a lot of the time. A seperate “playtime” car would be great but 2 cars is not practical for me. The S3 ticks both boxes - for everyday use and the commute to work, it goes in...

    Facelift Radio Set up help

    Can one of you smart guys help please. I’ve had my new S3 for a month now - and it’s lovely. I’d like to set up radio to display Favourites when I first select radio, rather than having to make a menu selection in order to display them. Is this possible? I can’t seem to do it. Thanks

    Facelift Best S3 Saloon Spec. Under £40k ?

    Where’s this in the MMI? All I can find is the “early” on the auto lights, which I think just turns the headlights on when it’s lighter (not so dark)......you know what I mean, but can’t see any settings for Matrix
