Audi A6 tech pack vs Android Auto

[Suri66]

Hi. I currently own a c7 diesel but dont do miles to justify having a diesel as I had egr issues last year which i got fixed. Looking at petrol black edition 2018 C8 I have seen.

I have tech pack on my c7 with a small sat nav map on my instrument cluster in the middle of the static speedo.

The c8 black edition I have seen doesn't have this and has the rectangler screen meaning no sat nav. The c8 however I assume has Android auto so I have a few questions please if anyone can help.

1) On tech pack models, does the sat nav off Android auto show in the instrument cluster ?

2) Is it worth paying extra for techpack on c8?

I have 2021 Black Edition with Tech Pack.

This will give you a larger main (Top) screen for viewing Sat Nav, AA, CarPlay etc. it fills the display rather than a smaller screen sat inside.

Virtual Cockpit, will also display sat nav, menus etc

Wireless charging box in centre arm rest.

I have an iPhone so assume same for AA. This is displayed in the main screen only, so wont show Google maps or Waze in the VC. 
if the car does have the Tech Pack it will show standard sat nav in the VC.

The Tech Pack was changed after 2021 to be standard fit but the inclusive options were changed from what was pre 2021.

Great! Thank you..on my 2014 C7 I have tech pack but don't tend use the car sat nav much as prefer Waze so my debate was whether to go for 1 of 2 cars I like. Both 2018 back edition petrol but lower miles without tech pack or higher miles with tech pack..similarly priced.

I’m exactly the same, everything run through CarPlay, and only Google Maps and Waze. The Audi nav is a bit crap.

I got the tech pack mainly for the larger central screen, especially as it would be running the navigation. Doesn’t bother me its not on the dashboard. I have that set up displaying the radio / tunes im playing.
