Thanks for the reply DJ. Unbelievable decision by Audi. POI's, which are actually called "Special Destinations" when you upload your own, are something I use all the time. All that technology in a new Audi and I will have to use a separate device (Tom Tom or other plug-in Sat Nav) if I want to...

Thanks for reading this. This question is about the new 2021 S3 and if you can upload your own points of interest to the MMI map. I've posted in this section because I would like to know if any 2017, 2018 or 2019 S3 owners are considering upgrading to the new S3 who have previously uploaded POIs...

Thanks for the replies. Are you saying the new S3 doesn't have SD card slot and you use the USB port in the charging area underneath the climate controls to update POIs? Does anyone know for sure if you can upload map points of interest to the new S3?

Thanks for reading this. This question is about the new 2020 S3 (8Y) and how you update the maps and map POIs. I own a 2017 S3 with all the extras including Technology Pack, Comfort, Driver Assistance etc. I regularly use the SD card slot in my glove box to update the maps. I also upload map...

Hi, I'm thinking about spending £43k on a new S3. I ask the Audi main dealer sales guy a question and he can't give me an answer. Okay, so I don't like the location of the 12V socket on the new S3. It's too far back on the centre console. I need to connect a 12v breakout box for my snooper...

Some really good replies to my initial question/comments. Seems like the older 8V is still popular (although I really do still like the touch screen mounted within the dashboard on the 8Y). Regarding traffic sign recognition, are you saying its not enabled as standard, but is available as an...

Thank you Adam. Yes, I see the cigarette lighter. Right in the middle of the centre console (bottom right of this photo). You might be right about a team of people thinking long and hard about the buttons underneath the air con unit, but I can't believe they thought long and hard about the...

Thanks for the feedback. Can't believe what you say about the buttons below the air con display. The photo above and below shows this is a clear a omission. Another crazy decision (or oversight). QUESTION: Is there a cigarette lighter socket anywhere in the front? I know there is probably...

Hi, This question is about the new 2020 S3 (8Y). I've posted my question in the 8V section because I value the opinions of drivers who currently own a 2017 - 2019 A3 or S3 (posters in the 2020 S3 (8Y) forum might be biased). QUESTION: What do Audi 2017 - 2019 A3 / S3 (8V) owners think of the...

Hi, thanks for the reply. My car is 3 years old this month. I have just read another post where someone said they were going on holiday for a week, parked their car at the airport then remembered they had left their OBD2 Bluetooth dongle connected. Someone replied to say the Bluetooth dongle...

Hi, thanks for reading this post. Can anyone tell me if the on-board diagnostics port on my Audi S3 8v will power a device when the ignition is off and all of the doors are locked? I have been getting a warning when I start the vehicle telling me my battery is low and will be charged while I...

Hi, I have a June 2017 Audi S3 8v 310Bhp. Since the cold weather in January I have started to get the message on the dash "Battery is low. Battery will charge whilst driving the vehicle". I don't drive the vehicle very often and I have driven it even less over the last few months with the...

Thank you for all of the replies. Cemerson: thank you for pointing out my mistake. The title should have been "Can I remove the brake calipers without removing the brake pads". Based on some of the replies the answer is 'possibly' but the brake calipers probably won't just come off once I have...

I have a 2017 S3 model 8v. My S3 suffers from rust on the brake rotor hats. I know most vehicles suffer from this. You spend a small fortune on a car and after 12-months there is loads of rust on the rotor hats which can really spoil the look of a set of lovely alloys. So I safely removed each...

Hi RichardT. You are of course correct that anything you do whilst driving a moving vehicle that causes you to have an accident because you were not concentrating 100% on your driving could mean you are prosecuted by the police. This would include everything from eating a sandwich or drinking a...

Ok ok ! there are bound to be people who are wondering why I want to do this and get a life etc etc. For the past four years in my Audi A3 I've been able to see all my emails from all my accounts on the MMI screen. Now I've upgraded to an Audi S3 and a new Galaxy S7 (everything has an S in it...

lol TYb. As a well-known-member on this forum im sure you already know it's all voice controlled. Don't need to take my hands off the steering wheel or even tilt my head. I can even dictate emails and texts which actually works surprisingly well. Actually, in traffic jam assist mode I can take...

Thanks for the replies so far. In response to RichardT's comment about why you would want to view emails on the Audi screen... it's much easier to do this when you are driving at 70mph than it is to get your mobile phone out and start looking at that. Another reason is that one is legal and one...

SUMMARY: I can only view emails on my Audi MMI for one email account but I have several email accounts configured on my Galaxy S7 phone. Hi, I have an Audi S3 2017 with the technology pack. I was hoping someone on this forum could help me with an issue viewing emails on the Audi MMI. I have...

Hi, Sorry this is a long post. Today’s cars are just getting more and more complex. When my mates asked me how my new S3 was, my initial reply was “it’s great, but I’m having difficulty connecting it to the internet”. This post relates to connecting my Samsung S7 to my vehicles Wi-Fi but then...
