You might need a firmware update for the newer maps. DVDs are generally very temperamental especially if they are not Audi originals. Worst case you should contact the seller and ask for some guidance.

Give us a clue mate - budget, what sort of phone, what sort of system (eg Android), which unit have you got installed at the moment? I'm sure we have lots of ideas 😁

Glad you had a good trip and your A6 survived. Here's to the next 100K + miles! 👍

When you say the keyless fob do you mean the fob with the key because generally there is an Old fashioned key and there is a keyhole in the drivers door for getting in and out. But if you need the fob to start the car anyway then I think that Audi is your only option - I'd probably get a spare just to he safe ;-)

I can only rely in Google - wiki gives a full list here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A3 2nd gen near the bottom. If you have 1.8 tfsi then it looks like CDAA

You'll probably need Audi to activate it. Have a look here https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/9942-sat-nav-activation/ You can also Google activate 2014 a3 navigation system.

Have a look on this thread https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/18813-buying-a-mark-2-facelift-tt-18-tfsi-and-oil-consumption/?tab=comments#comment-67154 The issue and affected engine designations are covered and Steve explains the issue /reasoning.

I'm not sure what you mean.... So you have a Universal Serial Bus connection via AMI? Are you now talking about Undamped Shelf in Back ? 😁 If you're unhappy with the car then send it back - life's too short.

Have you checked if it has an AMI connector? There are a few posts on here about AMI to USB. That's how you get USB on older models

It's not impressive but a couple of points; Your 2017 model was spec'd in 2010 - the new model was released in 2018 I'm guessing that you bought it second hand - so did you not check before you bought it? There were also either 3 or 4 model options for the 2010-2017 A8.

There's a worldwide chip shortage due to production capacity issues. If even one $2 chip is not available, car manufacturers can't finish their $30000 cars. They need automotive approved chips so they can't just buy any old chip. This is all well documented and Audi won't give any commitments until they have guaranteed delivery of the chips. I'd be surprised if this wasn't mentioned when you purchased the vehicle.

Have a look here https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-c7-platform-discussion-194/uk-audi-a6-no-usb-port-2945151/ Your connection is probably via AMI either in the armrest or the glove box.

If the fuse box is at either end of your dashboard or under the glove box, a likely cause of the water is leaves in the bulkhead stopping it from draining. If you open the bonnet you should be able to remove the plastic covers and clean the drainage area out. You should also have grommets underneath which you can remove and poke from the bottom. The other common issue is if you have a a sunroof and the drain is blocked. Fingers crossed it's just a blown fuse 👍

I hadn't thought about it but my last 3 Refills have been at Shell and Tesco Express / Esso, as opposed to Morrisons - maybe the supermarkets are more susceptible at present?

That's a significant difference. I'm getting between 7 and 8 miles per litre. I can't see the premium petrol giving me enough additional range to justify the 29p per litre price difference. Looks like you just need to monitor and go with what suits you 👍

I've not noticed anything obvious yet on my Q5. My journies have been fairly consistent and I've filled up twice with E10. I typically get a range of 500 miles when full and on this one it's sitting at 40% / 199 miles I've not noticed any performance issues so far. How does it affect your performance?

Thanks for clarifying Steve. Now I'm worried how trees and plants are going to survive without CO2. I think might have to start hugging a few! 😁 😁

I don't think TT engines were as susceptible to the major problem of dodgy piston seals. Have read here and maybe do some googling on the TT engine type http://casestudies.atlanticmotorcar.com/audi-engine-oil-consumption-correction/ Engine codes CAEB, CDNC and CNDC were tv he main offenders. But as mentioned by you and on other threads here - the petrol engines are *designed* to consume oil. I think it is a trade off for cost of build v tolerance in the moving parts.

I think it depends on whether you have the factory fit parking heater or not - if it's fitted then it's a no.

They're appealing to the same people who do Tik Tok and watch cr@p like Love Island, I'm a celeb,.... To be fair most TV programmes are almost adverts these days!

I suspect that it's this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airdual-Bluetooth-Interface-Volkswagen-300A/dp/B07G38THN9 There are a few other cheaper options https://audistream2air.com/collections/frontpage/products/bluetooth-a2dp-adapter-for-audi-skoda-and-vw-3gen?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZKJBhC0ARIsAJ96n3V4lM_K0FVDvSkwF615G4mfW1qMVmA59eLZJRE09rokOL1PIpdJH80aAo1vEALw_wcB https://www.incarconnections.co.uk/audi-bluetooth-adapter-streaming-and-calls/audi-bluetooth-streaming-adapter-for-audi-a3-a5-a6-a7-a8-ami-ctaad1a2dp.html They all look pretty reasonable.

Here's a link for the fuse locations https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/fuse-box.info/audi/audi-a5-s5-2010-2016-fuses 2010/11 is slightly different to 2012 - 16. Is your mmi still working - radio, phone,....? Can you see the details on your dash? You'll probably have to have to do some digging but checking the connections of your head unit would be a start. Probably in the glove box.

Have a look here to find out which mmi unit you have https://mca.electricmura.ro/en/blog-audi-mmi-mib-models/ You can at least work out if it is SD or hdd based. After that, Google is your friend for updates and maps.
