    Audi Functions on Demand - MMI Themes

    Looks like something new is coming to the FOD store - MMI themes, which include MMI wallpaper images with matching colours for multicolour ambient lighting. No details on what's available and the prices for these yet, but could be a nice way to personalise your interior.

    myAudi, Bluetooth profiles, car wifi, Amazon Music

    I've picked up a brand new Q8 after trading in a 2019 A6. What struck me were the changes in connections. There no longer seems to be remote SIM access Bluetooth profile. I would connect my S22 Ultra using this profile to access Amazon Music direct via the MMI. The login for Amazon music appears...

    Q8 Q8 E-Tron

    Looks like both the Q8 and E-Tron models are going to be merged into a new model. I suppose it makes sense really, although I'm expecting delivery of a new Q8 50 TDi in the next week or so - so I have mixed feelings. My new vehicle is about to be superceded, but I don't want an EV yet...

    Farewell A6

    After having owned a C7, a C7.5 and currently a C8 Avant, I thought it was time for a change, aided by a new job with a good pay rise! So today at Preston Audi I placed an order for something completely different, a Q8 50 TDi Black Edition. It has the Comfort & Sound pack, finished in Daytona...

    Q8 Q8 Roof Rails

    Hi folks, going to order a Q8 50TDi Black Edition shortly and I noticed a £400 option for "Black Roof Rails". Does anyone know if the default supply is silver roof rails (in that case you'd expect them to be black already as part of the Black Edition spec!), or are they not fitted at all as...

    Q7 45tdi vs 50tdi

    Has anyone experienced both of these, is the difference that noticeable, apart from the price (which is sort of my point)?

    Q7 Q7 Trailer Assist

    Does anyone know if the above (including the original towbar assembly) can be retrofitted by a main dealer? Want a new tow car, but no stock vehicles around with the above package, which would mean a factory order with a long wait if there's no retrofit option.

    What next?

    Like some of you, I've owned my C8 for just over 2 years - I absolutely love the car, but have now reached the stage where I'm considering my options. I've scoured the Internet and have found no mention of a C8.5 face-lift due anytime soon. I'd be gutted if I bought a car very similar to what...

    RS6

    Went to Liverpool Audi with my wife, as she dropped her Q2 off for a service and I spotted this. I just wish I had the money!

    Galaxy S20 Ultra

    Pre-ordered one of these today, looks an impressive piece of kit. Just hope it fits inside the A6 wireless charging mat :grinning:

    Warranty work

    Anyone else feel like second class citizens when trying to book warranty work with Audi? As mentioned in another thread, my Avant tailgate never closes first time and I usually have to open and close it 2/3 times until it locks properly. When I booked it in, the earliest appointment was 5...

    Road tax

    I knew it would be this much, but seeing it in black & white is a sickener. £460-odd a year :wtf:

    Avant Tailgate

    Does anyone have any problems closing the tailgate when pressing the close button on the underside of the tailgate? I dont have the comfort & sound pack. About 50% of the time, it goes all the way down, but doesn't fully latch and makes a beep sound. I've tried the reset procedure several times...

    RS6 Review!

    Thomas with a quick review, no driving yet. Not sure about the silver strip by the exhaust or the seat colour, but it looks incredible!

    A6 C8 Avant Dog Guard

    Has anyone managed to find a manufacturer who supplies the above? I know there's the mesh luggage guard that pulls up and attaches to the headlining, just behind the rear seats; but I'm sure my dog would just shred it. Thanks, Dave

    Efficiency mode - drive select/S-tronic

    One thing I have noticed, which is a little confusing: Say I'm in "Auto" drive select mode and pulling back the gear lever toggles the gearbox between "S" and "D" modes. I switch to "Efficiency" drive select mode. This time pulling the gear lever toggles between "S" and "E" modes - fair enough...

    Map update

    I got the prompt for the full map update yesterday. I chose the online update option and it didn't take long to download and install, unlike on my old A6. Well impressed with the process, it's hardly dented my data allowance (I use my S9+ in carphone profile) so I'm wondering if it uses the eSIM?

    Audi Connect Missing Functionality

    After moving from a C7 A6 to a C8 A6, it appears that some functions are no longer available: Fuel prices City events Flight times Train times Or am I missing something? Cheers, Dave.

    Farewell C7

    After owning a C7 since 2012, then a C7.5 from 2014, today I say goodbye to C7 ownership. I ordered a new A4 Avant in April and it has still not been built, because of WLTP delays. I finally had enough of the wait and today I collect a new A6 C8 Avant instead. I have really enjoyed C7...
