Hi guys, Further to my earlier post, Camberley Audi have quoted me £240 for the 2014 Nav Update, on SD card, which includes 1/2 hours labour to "activate". This is for the latest HDD based nav with Google maps which is in my 2012 Q7. It seems a bit steep for me, and I'm going to try some experiments. Newer roads not shown on the map should be available by selecting them via the online Google bit I would have thought.....I'll let you know if you're interested.

Hi Admin, thanks. I will contact the dealer re the Sat Nav. On the blower, I will check this, but normally have the A/C on all the time. Cheers.

Hi everyone, good to meet you - so to speak. Moved away from my 2008 A6 Quattro Le Mans Saloon to 12 month old Q7 3.0 245 SE S Line Plus (I think). Myaudi.com reports it as Q7 Quat TDI3.0 v6180 A8. It is Orca Black with rear privacy glass. The driving position is much higher than the A6 which I love. Quite good spec, listed below for your interest or if you have any questions about it just ask:- Miles 8000, Hi-line Nav (I think) with Google Maps, Love the ability to send a destination from Google Maps on my PC/phone directly to the car. Hard Disc drive and jukebox 20GB - voice control for music only works for tracks on the hard disc, not a connected iPod Digital TV. Dab Radio. Comfort pack with Advanced Key, electric seats. Not sure if it has a lighting pack, but have daylight LEDs, the snazzy rear lights, and the front ones chuck light out to the left or right when cornering, which is supposed help my visibility but just makes me think something is coming!!!! The (already bright) headlights get more pin-pointed for range when on the motorway at speed. Everything black inside, but bits of chrome on cup holder, elec seat controls, start button etc. It doesn't have Bose but has DSP and it's superb. Power boot release. Electric folding out tow-bar (discovered by accident). Parking sensor front and back and reversing camera. On the whole, let me think, I love it! Just a few observations/questions if I can. The comfort front centre armrest, this goes right down as far as it can, i.e. resting on the centre console making it tricky to get to the return and audio back and forward buttons. No biggie. Sat nav map update - how do I get one, given it's on the hard disc, i.e. not on a disc? Is it free within warranty? Air con not very strong in my opinion, can take 5 mins to demist even with full blower. Anyone else have this? I see a considerable amount of surface rust on brake hubs, which I will clean, but wasn't like that on the A6. That's it, let me know if anyone has questions. Take care,

Just saying hello, have got a late 2012 Q7 3.0 245. Will post more in the dedicated Q7 forum. Looks like a great place to be having had a look around. I am no mechanic or petrol-head, but if anyone wants driver feedback I'm always happy to comment. Just parted with my 08 A6 Saloon 3.0 Quattro Le Mans. On another subject, I love the newsthump.com view on the floods, with their headline "flooding now important as river into London seriously affected....". Hope forum members not too bad. Cheers, Amacuk.
