100%, I'll try get a video later if I can

2012 Q7 suddenly got the warning on the dash of a blown offside rear indicator bulb and the internal indicator dash lights are flashing fast when turning right - Fine, expected. The warning shows up every time the car is started after about 45 second of running. However all external indicators are functioning and flashing at the right tempo! There is no blown bulb and the fast flashing arrows on the instrument cluster do not match with what is going on on the exterior of the car. Very odd. Took the connector in the boot lid apart, looked immaculate but gave it a clean anyway and re-connected but the issue remains. Hooked up an OBD to see if there are any fault codes and it's not listing a single thing. I'm quite flummoxed with this one, does anyone have any wisdom to share?

Thanks Steve, I think that's going to end up being the answer.

Odd question I know, but all being well I'll be towing with this soon so I'm wondering if there's a way, or a hacky fix, to view the parking camera whilst driving forwards. No burning reason why, just a bit of peace of mind to see the tow ball. Yes I know if I hook it up properly there's no risk but I'm a bit weird, ok? 😁

Thanks. So I bought myself one yesterday in the end, a 2013 SLine Plus. Looking through the setup menu on the MMI it looks like I have the 3G+ (HN+ in menu). I have the bluetooth, reversing camera and such but the only thing I don't seem to have is DAB, which is not a deal breaker.

Thanks Steve. What do you mean by this? I assume MMI is Multimedia Interface, but what constitutes 'higher' and how would I check?

Hello all, looking to buy a Q7 imminently and have a question about VED bands/prices. Apologies if this has been done to death, but I've noticed that some seemingly identical spec cars (2011, 3.0TDi) are in different VED bands. Some are £365 for 12 months and some are nearer £700. Why is this? Cost aside, is there any material difference between those two category vehicles that would be relevant to me as an owner? Thanks.
