I suspect that they will be Thule roof bars. Have a look here https://www.car-roofracks.co.uk/audi-q5-roof-racks/5-dr-suv-2008-2017-flush-rails I've also used Cruz in he past https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel3.php?emulate=roofbar&query=7663 I guess Audi don't want you buying from anyone other than them....

They're definitely not planning on losing money on it - but for some people it is saving them some hassle and potentially helping maintain FSH for sell on value. 2l or less keeps the costs down. A warranty is going to knock you back a couple of hundred quid. Also AA Roadside is worth something. If you have a 2l quattro it might be worth it just in case the gearbox or drive train has an issue - provided they are covered. It's not for everybody but car choices are never one size fits all 👍

Looks like a decent deal autoexpress.co.uk: Audi launches new “one-stop-shop” service plan. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/355116/audi-launches-new-one-stop-shop-service-plan And you save 6p if you pay it all up front 😁 Ps is this the right place for this?

Efficient

When we are all back living in caves eating raw vegetables and wondering why it's always so cold (and wouldn't it be nice if it was 2 C warmer) we won't need cars - so where's the problem? 😁 😁

Looks like a nice trip - how many miles /km? If you are going via Murcia then Cartagena is a nice stop off. Normally there are a few cruise ships in (pre Covid) Either way it's better than working! 😁

Indy

I only got the gen 1 basic because I have an Android phone. You can upgrade on line if you want more later.

Fair enough 👍 The work at MAKCoding took about an hour. It's s bit of a trek but on a Saturday /Sunday you can make a day of it.

Switchblade

I think Hazzydayz offer a similar service and you won't need your passport to get to St Albans! 😁😁

A few people I know on a VW site have used these guys for some work in the past https://www.hazzydayz.com/ They are reasonably close to you? The options you are looking for are the same ones that I had do e by a guy I Bradford https://www.makcoding.co.uk/ At least 2 of the options need you to be on site. You can also look at obdeleven https://obdeleven.com/en/ you may be able to do a couple of the jobs yourself if you're confident enough to try it. I'd have to say that active lane assist is bit of a "marmite" option. To turn the retrofitted version off (and sometimes you will want to turn it off!) you have to turn off ESP because a factory fit option has a different indicator stalk with the on/off switch. I've got the obdeleven gear in case I want to switch it off permanently.

Factory

Have a look here https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/ As long as you know the model and year.

To the original poster's question. A 2019 A8 should have the capability to stream from your phone, play through SD card, USB direct or through Android Auto or Car Play. There is a good overview of the whole system here https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.pocket-lint.com/cars/news/audi/140154-audi-mmi-infotainment-tech-review-explored-cars.amphtml None of them will make the speakers / sound quality any better....

But it's still good to get it confirmed 😁 https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/motoring/audi-or-bmw-drivers-safest-5435741

Yes I realised after posting that the VW was not DSG and wasn't as "clever"! 😁

We mentioned this in a couple of other threads. There are so many chips in modern cars and you can't build without having them all. A lot of sensors (steering, abs) use older silicon technology and that is where volumes are most restricted. With EVs it will be a even worse - and of course you have to factor in finding a charging point and hoping for reliable electricity supply from windmills and solar panels.... 😁

Thanks Steve 👍 Looks like it's a feature! It just sounds awful. I'll blip the throttle to recover if I don't want to listen to it.
