Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

[lyallr]

mine has all those except the courtesy lighting on the exterior door handles. i also have the upgraded aluminium light inlays so can anyone help me with what the courtesy lighting exterior door handles is please? as i dont think mine has it... PS ITS AN S LINE SO HAS LED HEADLIGHTS ETC TOO so surely if its a standard feature my cr should have em

Hi mate. My specs the same as yours and I have no such lighting on the exterior handles. When I bought my last A4 it said the same on the spec sheet and as with the A3 it didn't have it.

'Your car will soon be painted Floret silver, metallic, just as you specified. But before we apply the paint, we'll clean your car with emu feathers to remove every speck of dust. And, once we're sure we've achieved exactly the shade you chose, we'll use the emu feathers again to polish your paintwork and ensure a long-lasting metallic sheen'.

Then your dealer will add his own special swirl marks after cleaning your car with a well used sponge

I thought i had seen everything...I was wrong...

'An emu's tail feathers are not so soft. Instead, they are stiff, and the bird can rattle them to scare ...'

hmm...so i now have to rely on the feather plucker to ensure they pluck the correct ones!..pluckers the lot of em

For Navarra Blue cars they use the finest quality emu feathers, for every other colour it's more of a seagull type feather.

Would that be the Rhode Island Red or Bantum breed? Makes a lot of difference.....

Don't get technical now lol
They need to justify £550 for metallic paint! Sounds better to tell us they use Emu feather rather than Chicken feather! lol Bigger bird must be better for the paintwork lol

Then again they could tell their dealership to use a 2 bucket washing technique so as to not f up the good work from our dead Emu friends! lol

Ohhhhh! I thought they used live emu's to dance around the cars to make sure the panels were free of dirt. Disappointed now.

And then they get bbq'ed in the car park in Ingolstadt at the end of a long week of hard work!
They could also leave a little Emu feather souvenir on the fancy leather seats with a note: "Yours Trully. The Emu"

BMW apparently use ostrich feathers... are we being shortchanged?

http://www.mini-production-triangle.com/production/paint-shop.aspx

They should add that to the options list:

"Ostrich feather clean before painting: £1200"

Apple play gets a thumbs up from me.. Very simple bit of kit but find myself using it everytime I'm in the car.. Perfect for scrolling through the playlists of music on my iPhone whilst it charges inside the armrest. Have used it to make a few calls aswell , very simple to use and get used to.. Haven't really used it for much but what I have used I think it's great.

 

[Gordo77]

Good to hear @S3_RYAN ...Pretty sure Spotify works on CarPlay as well. Wondering if the iPhone 7 will have wireless charging, tho guess you need to plugin for CarPlay anyway?

Anyone tried wireless charging on their facelift!?

Yeah you need to plug in for CarPlay.. Spotify does work although I've not tried it yet. Whatsapp doesn't work

Tried it with a Nexus 4 and it worked fine, have a Nexus 6P now and wireless charging was dropped for it.

With the USB cable plugged in, my phone does not fit in the phone box.

How you enjoying the car mate? Many miles have you clocked up?

 

[Ben407]

So, picked up my Ibis white s3 today, haven't taken any pictures yet as by the time the excitement wore off it was pitched black and I live in the middle of nowhere... But 132 miles since I drove it off the forecourt at 10:30 this morning isn't bad going though I think for one day

I'll upload some pictures of the actual car when I have chance to take some tomorrow in the daylight.

However I did spot a little perk that I never knew the car had until I got out of it just now, it's not part of any extra or pack I've added on just a standard feature and not sure if pre facelifts had them.. A bit petty but I'm the sort of person that likes all the little gimmicks like this.. Illuminated door lights, this shines down from under the door, driver and passenger side, when the door opens as well as the doorsil trim, b+o speakers, and cup holders also light up... I'm just sad enough to find this pretty cool sorry guys

 

[Ben407]

Need to see some images ASAP please- not getting my white one till mid to end Sept and need something to take my mind off.. Logging into My Audi at least four times a day now!!!

Is it in the factory in ingolstandt? That's where mine came from only took 5 days once it was on the boat. It'll be sooner than you think I'd say stay patient! I ordered mine at the start of June and waited until today.. So worth it though

Car play works well. I have been streaming Apple Music which works perfectly but there doesn't seem to be a search facility, just the main headings ie "for you", "new" "radio". You can still search using the phone. Only used it yesterday so I could be missing it. Siri still works so will see if it's possible to search that way.

 

[Kuku]

CarPlay is a decent bit of kit but does have its limitations. On the Apple CarPlay WhatsApp doesn't work however stuff like Apple Music and Spotify are good. Messages work fine and it's funny when it reads out the messages as any emoticons that are sent are described by Siri

The tricky is when plugged in to CarPlay you can't scroll through your phone on the VC etc. (at least on the Q7 - presume same on A3)

Also for me I have a work phone and personal phone, the car can connect both, however as soon as one is plugged in to CarPlay the other is redundant and can't be connected via Bluetooth to the car.

Overall it's ok and I'm sure will with time get better and better as more apps are CarPlay enabled

Really starting to enjoy it now, just managed about 600 miles. Love the B&O and all the tech and the quality interior.

Gave it the beans up a hill the other day and then had to lift off before the top, lots of burbling and farting on the overrun

The S-tronic, compared to the DSG in my Golf GTI, seems to be lighting fast although I find the D mode a bit more up and down the box, maybe it's the extra gear. I drive in manual most of the time so not really a problem.

Surprised that not more apps are now available on CarPlay...been out a while now
