Screens and instruments (8)
Skip MMI input warnings
The pop-up that appears for each entry in navigation or phone is no longer shown. The MMI responds straight away.
Condition: MMI 3G/3G+
Choose the MMI start-up logo
The MMI shows a different Audi logo at start-up, for example S line, S or RS.
Only logos already stored in the system.
Condition: MMI 2G/3G/3G+
Parking distance graphic on screen
Besides the beeps, the radio or MMI shows a graphic of the car with the distance to obstacles. The vehicle image can also be chosen.
Condition: Parking system with MMI
Video in motion
Videos, DVD or TV stay visible on the screen while driving, so passengers can watch on the move.
For the passenger only.
Condition: MMI 3G/3G+
Battery status in the MMI
A menu showing the battery state of charge appears in the MMI. Handy if you drive little or make many short trips.
Condition: MMI
Needle sweep at start-up
When you switch on the ignition, the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep to maximum and back once, just like on sports cars.
Oil temperature on display
The oil temperature appears in the trip computer, so you know when the engine is properly warm before you push it.
Condition: Via laptimer function
Correct the fuel consumption display
If the consumption shown in the trip computer differs from what you measure at the pump, the display is corrected so the numbers match.
Lighting (5)
Daytime running lights in the vehicle menu
An option to set the daytime running lights appears in the trip computer or MMI menu.
DRL is mandatory in the EU; the final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Tail lights with DRL – adjust
The tail lights come on together with the daytime running lights, so you are more visible from behind at dusk and in rain.
Lighting setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Lights on automatically in rain and on the motorway
In Auto, the low beam switches on automatically when the wipers run for a while or above roughly 140 km/h.
Condition: Light/rain sensor
Brake lights flash in an emergency stop
In an emergency stop the brake lights or hazard lights flash, so traffic behind reacts faster.
Only works under hard braking above a certain speed.
Ambient lighting setup
Existing ambient lighting (doors, centre console, footwells) is activated or adjusted in brightness and, on Audis, made adjustable in the MMI.
Only if the lights are already fitted; otherwise a retrofit is needed.
Condition: Interior light package
Convenience (4)
Headlamp washers less often
The headlamp washers no longer spray with every windscreen wash but only after a set number. That saves washer fluid.
Condition: Headlamp washers
Rear wiper in reverse
You choose whether the rear wiper wipes automatically when you select reverse with the front wipers on.
Service interval setting
After a service the reminder is reset, and the interval can be set to fixed or flexible (LongLife).
Register a new battery
After fitting a new battery it is registered so the charging system charges correctly and start-stop keeps working.
Driver assistance (2)
Camera and sensors stay on longer
The speed at which parking sensors or the camera switch off automatically is adjusted, for example for slow manoeuvring with a van or trailer.
Condition: Parking system/camera
ACC follow distance in the MMI
The adaptive cruise control follow distance can be set in the MMI and is remembered.
Condition: ACC fitted
Audio (2)
Better hands-free microphone
The hands-free microphone sensitivity is adjusted so the caller hears you better.
Condition: Factory Bluetooth
Bluetooth audio streaming
Where the hardware supports it, music streaming from the phone (A2DP) over Bluetooth is enabled.
Whether it works depends on the exact MMI/radio version.
Condition: MMI 3G+ with Bluetooth
Comfort (2)
Mirror dips when reversing
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb and parking lines. It returns when you drive off.
Depends on mirror and door module version.
Windows and sunroof from the key
Holding the key button opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof). Handy to air the car on hot days or close everything at once.
Driving and performance (2)
Laptimer
A stopwatch for lap times with split times and overview is added to the trip computer. Fun for track days.
Condition: MMI 3G/3G+
Air suspension: adjust ride height
The air suspension is recalibrated or the automatic motorway lowering is adjusted, for a tighter or more comfortable stance.
Within factory limits.
Condition: Adaptive air suspension
Safety (2)
Speed warning – adjust
A fixed speed warning (for example 120 km/h) is made available or adjusted, so you hear a chime when you exceed that speed.
The desired limit is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be adjusted, for example for the passenger seat when a bag or cargo often sits there.
Wearing seatbelts remains mandatory; the setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.

Auxiliary heater settings
A factory-fitted auxiliary heater can be set to pre-warm the engine or work as parked heating/ventilation from the menu. Warm cabin and ice-free windows when you leave.
Only if the auxiliary heater is already fitted.
Condition: Factory auxiliary heater fitted
Retrofit (1)
AUX input retrofit
An AUX socket is fitted and activated in the radio or MMI so you can connect a phone or player with a cable.
Cars without an MMI music interface may need another solution.
Sounds and chimes (1)

A short chirp or horn tone confirms locking and unlocking, so you know the vehicle is shut.
