Morning all, I've been trying to use the drive select app on the obdeleven device, connected to my 2013 audi a5 sportback s-tronic. So far, it's only coming up with the error message "check if engine is running" or similar wording, while the app itself warns that this particular mod won't work/be applied if engine is running. In any event i've tried this while the engine is running and when it isn't, and the same message appears. I've been on to Obdeleven support who say that as my car does not have a control unit 5f (MMI??) then this mod isn't possible - that's news to me. My car has the AMI/2G rather than MMI setup - so no sat nav etc. Anyone have any points on where I go from here? I don't mind having a go at the long coding if I know it's going to work. All help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks. 100% worth it.

Mint.

yup! had a 1997 audi a4 for about two years but it was not a car that had been looked after at all. Since then it's been bmw's and most recently a mk6 GTI. Tough act to follow in terms of driving dynamism but between quattro, s-tronic and 500nm of torque...this is comfortably (in both ways) going to be a quicker motor. #1moresleep...

Tomorrow late morning.

thanks Steve - that's ultimately what swung it for me. Too much money to be spending on something that doesn't have a meaty warranty behind it!

went with option 2....collecting tomorrow - photos to follow!

Hello and good evening to everyone. New member here with a first post looking for some buying advice - very much in the first world problem realm... I'm looking at picking up a 2013 a5 sportback 3 litre diesel quattro, and have narrowed it down to a few as follows: 1. independent dealer, more basic radio etc. (2g ami in front of the gear stick on vertical console rather than the handier horizontal console controls); 2. audi dealer, same spec, +£1k or so 3. independent dealer, what looks like 3g mmi setup but +20k miles. (+£1300 on #1) 4. audi dealer, higher spec - 3g mmi etc, but more basic alloys (rather than the black edition rotors), same mileage as 1 & 2, +£1800 on #1. Which one would you go for? Thanks in advance.
