  1. Many thanks Steve, I will look into the facebook company.
  2. Does anyone know if I can retrofit the wireless phone box to my 2016 facelift A3 S line?
  3. Hi Ryan, I have a 2017 A3 sline with Audi connect. It came from new with a 3 month subscription which has been renewed by Audi uk for free for 12 months. If it does not appear in your MMI menu then I don't think you can add it later. It does not activate Sat Nav but allows you to add Google earth overlay to the Nav which looks great. It also gives online content such as news, weather, twitter etc. I tried to add the Nav to my sons A1 Sline and came across the same problem you are finding. You can get the maps on the SD card easily enough but there is no way around paying Audi to activate the Nav. I understand they plug it in and connect to Germany who then activate it. I bought him a tomtom. Sorry
  4. Hi David, Audi connect is in the menu of the MMI. When my car was supplied new it had 3 months free access before I got the message license expired. I called Audi who told me that they had not worked out a price strategy yet and gave me 12 months free and again this year when it expired again. Audi connect allows you to go online via an e-sim built into the car. I am not sure when this was introduced into the A3 model range. When you go into the car menu it is an option that I can select and there is also an Audi MMI app for iphone and andriod which has features like notifying your phone where you parked and how to navigate back to the car should you forget. You can also get internet radio etc. Try downloading the app. From memory you also need your VIN number from the logbook or windscreen and a PIN number which I think you get from Audi. In all honesty I only use it to overlay Google earth into the Nav which is great as you basically have a satellite view with the roads super imposed on top. Good luck
  5. Hi, the Google maps are very good but only work if you have an active Audi Connect account. Just had mine reset for free by audi customer services but it did take 3 phone calls and 4 wks!. You can select google earth view from within map view in settings. Good luck
  6. Hi, I looked into doing the same thing for my son's A1 TDI Sline and came across the same issue. It needs to go to Audi to plug it in and connect to Germany at a cost of £500. I bought him a TOM TOM. Sorry.
  7. Dynamic rear indicators are standard on Sline and above as they come with LED headlights. If you spec Matrix Headlights you also get dynamic front indicators.
  8. I can recommend AVS in Redruth, Cornwall. Audi trained mechanics using genuine Audi parts and will repair before replacing parts. Honest, reliable and much cheaper then Audi.
