I’ve had my 2016 A7 272ps TDI from new and have just passed 110,000m in it. It has 20” wheels and air suspension - a rare option choice. It came with Pirelli P Zero I replaced those with Vredestein They were replaced with Goodyears Then Continental Sport Contact 7s The Continentals beat...

Just to add that I have a 2016 A7 V6 TDI 272ps 3 litre which I’ve owned from new and I’ve just hit 110,000 miles with very few issues. The V6 TDI is known for developing a water leak - which cost me over £1,100 to fix - but I’m not aware of any other issues with engine. Sent from my iPhone...

All A7s have rear spoilers that rise automatically at 86 mph - or you can raise it manually by a dash switch. Yes, that’s the switch for folding in the door mirrors. Turn it to the symbol and they should fold. You can also set them via the MMI to fold in when the car is locked. Sent from my...

I spoke to Integrated Automotive before buying the unit to ask if they knew of a fitter near me and had it fitted by a car audio place that they had worked with before. It took him just over half a day I think. With the unit installed I would say: Sound quality - noticeable improvement with...

The IMI-1000 from Integrated Automotive is the one I had fitted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had an aftermarket Integrated Automotive IMI-1000 CarPlay / Android unit fitted to my 2016 facelift car which has the HD MMI (I know that CarPlay can be activated on my car but couldn’t get that done easily due to covid at the time). It works well enough, requires a few more button presses...

Ouch, but then repairs on A7s tend to test our wallets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess they can quote you a price range for all those scenarios before you commit to them opening it up - at least you’d know the worst case cost before the car is off the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had an Integrated Automotive IMI-1000 unit fitted to my C7.5 2016 A7 - provides CarPlay and Android functionality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 2016 facelift A7 with the top spec HD based MMI. I had an aftermarket unit fitted behind the MMI unit to give Android & CarPlay functionality to the car, it’s an IMI-1000 and cost around £550 fitted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had an IMI-1000 unit from Integrated Automotive fitted to my 2016 A7, this gives both Android and CarPlay functionality on the MMI. The unit cost £455 and fitting another £125 but now I can use Waze, Amazon, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The poor DAB reception is annoying, it’s got slightly worse since I had an aftermarket CarPlay unit fitted so now I get even more signal black spots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The air suspension transforms the car as far as I’m concerned. I test drove steel sprung A7s and air spring A8s before speccing my car. The ride quality is much improved (I also went for 20 inch wheels so they help) and there is less resonance on rough road surfaces. It’s one of the reasons I’ve...

I don’t recall magnetic dampers being available on the A7 - it was either steel sprinters or air suspension. My 2016 has the latter which added £2k to its price, as a result the air option was very rarely specified. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
