    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    That's helpful to know, thanks. It's seems odd how the MMI records the service schedule and the oil change separately considering the oil's changed as part of any service (interim/main/major and fixed/flexible). If the oil's changed with every type of service that is needed and completed I...

    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    Ah, I thought the service schedule and oil change were two separate things and that you could have a 'major' (aka Flexible) service completed every 2 years and also have an interim service (a simple oil and oil filter replacement) done in the year sandwiched between? Our cars computers allows...

    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    Thanks all. I got the two cars serviced and they've both come back having been updated to say 730 days remaining for service and 365 days for oil, which is perfect. It's the first time the A1 has been set to the 2 year Flexible service length so it's obviously simple enough for a well equipped...

    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    Thanks very much for the comprehensive reply Harvey. When you say the fixed/flexi service is coded into the MMI, do you mean it's decided and coded by Audi in the factory or at the official dealership before the original sale etc.? Can the service type be swapped from one to another during the...

    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    Thanks, I guess they can just choose the number of days to record on the MMI system then. I'd heard murmurs Audi locked down the MMI and pre-set the car with a fixed or flexible service schedule that couldn't be altered using third party software without a specific code obtained by an official...

    Logging a Fixed or Flexible Service

    My family's always taken our Audis to the local Audi dealership for servicing. We have a couple of cars: an A1 that's on a Fixed Service Schedule and and A5 that's on a Flexible service schedule, and the Audi dealer has always logged the correct number of days until the next service on the cars...

    Heavy condensation inside headlight

    Cheers for the response ss. I gently heated the lenses until the moisture had gone and, so far, it hasn't returned. Apparently water can get in via the light units drainage hole if a pressure washer is used, so I'm guessing that's what happened to mine. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Audi A1 Sat Nav options

    Thanks, I had a good look round but couldn't find the info. I'll have another look but have decided to buy a Garmin with free Map updates for the time being as it just seems so much cheaper and offers so much more functionality compared to Audi's system. Maybe I'll get the Audi Sat Nav...

    A1 sat nav activation

    Sorry to dig up an old thread but I've just gone and bought a 2013 Audi A1 S line which has a stereo/multimedia system that has the Nav buttons in place but no Sat Nav enabled. It's a dual SD card stereo and the steering wheel has the Nav button on it. When I press the 'Nav' button the screen...

    Heavy condensation inside headlight

    Has anyone experienced condensation inside their A1 headlights? My car's got the standard lights and since it was washed at a garage it's had a load of small water droplets and condensation in both front lights. It's obviously cold out and the heat of the bulbs hasn't made it evaporate. I...

    Audi A1 Sat Nav options

    Thanks d.d. So it's a case of ringing round the stealers then. Such a shame you can't just buy the SD Map Pack with license and activation code yourself and then only pay Audi to activate it. Anyone know what model Multimedia System I have?

    Audi A1 Sat Nav options

    Hi, I picked up my new (to me) 2013 Audi A1 S line on the weekend. It has a multimedia system that includes a CD slot, 2 x SD slots and it has the AMI connection in the glove box so I can connect my iPhone etc. The stereo and the steering wheel both have a 'Nav' button, but according to the...

    Hello from new A1 owner

    Hi, Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I've just collected a new (to me) Audi A1 S line in hot red with black alloys, which I love already! It's a 2013 plate that's only done 10K and it seems to mostly be in excellent condition. My partner has an A5 3.0l TDi S line coupe so I had a small...
