Apple CarPlay and Android Auto activation
Your phone on the car screen via the USB cable: navigation, music and messages in a familiar layout.
Depends on the infotainment type; we check this first.
Condition: MIB2/MIB3
Hidden features and retrofits for the Audi Q3 (F3) 2018–
49 features for the Audi Q3 (F3) 2018–: what it does, duration and price from. Workshop in Waddinxveen, remote across the Netherlands.
Final compatibility is confirmed at diagnosis.
Display 9
Needle sweep at start-up
At start-up the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep fully out and back once, just like on sports cars.
Only visible with analogue gauges.
Oil temperature on display
The oil temperature appears in the instrument cluster display. Handy to see whether the engine is warm before accelerating hard.
Parking distance on the screen
Besides the beeps, the infotainment screen shows a picture of the car with the distance to obstacles around it.
Requires parking sensors; on some models front and rear.
Refuelled amount on the display
After refuelling, the instrument cluster shows how many litres were added, so you can easily check your fuel receipt.
Performance monitor in the MMI
The MMI shows extra vehicle data such as temperatures and g-forces on the centre screen.
Availability differs by version and MMI generation.
Condition: MIB3 (later production)
Sport displays in the digital cockpit
Adds extra gauges such as g-forces, boost pressure, power, torque and gearbox temperature.
Which views appear depends on engine and equipment.
Condition: Virtual cockpit
Video in motion
Videos and images from a USB stick or SD card stay visible on the screen while the car is moving, so the passenger can watch.
For the passenger only. The driver must not watch video while driving.
Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto
CarPlay and Android Auto without a cable: the phone connects automatically as soon as you get in.
Only with MIB3 infotainment.
Condition: MIB3 (not on basic radio)
Lighting 10
Coming home follow-me-home time
After you get out, the lights stay on longer or switch on automatically so you can reach the front door safely. A wider time range becomes available in the menu.
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning or steering at low speed, the fog light on that side switches on, so you see where you are going in the dark.
Only with front fog lamps.
Daytime running lights – behaviour per switch position
Sets in which light switch position the daytime running lights are on, for example only in AUTO. We discuss the exact setting in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – adjust in menu
The daytime running lights appear as a setting in the vehicle menu, so their behaviour can be chosen deliberately. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – off with parking brake
The daytime running lights go out when the parking brake is applied, for example while waiting on a driveway. They come back on when you drive off.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights – with rear lights
With daytime running lights on, the rear lights also come on so the car is easier to see from behind at dusk and in rain.

Dynamic indicators VAG
The indicators in the headlights sweep as a strip of light in the direction of travel instead of flashing.
Only with IQ.LIGHT headlights.
Condition: LED lights with dynamic segments
High-beam assistant release
High beam switches on and off automatically depending on oncoming and preceding traffic. The activation speed can also be adjusted.
Only works with the camera behind the windscreen; we check this first.
Condition: Front camera
Softer or brighter interior and door lights
Adjust the brightness of door and footwell lighting and let the interior lights fade in and out softly instead of switching abruptly.
Poor-weather / all-weather lights
Releasing the fog-like dip or all-weather mode on matrix or LED headlamps that already have that mode in software. Without the right lamps we will not code an extra beam.
Comfort 4
Comfort-indicator flash count
A short tap on the indicator stalk gives the number of flashes you prefer, for example five instead of three when changing lanes.
Windows and sunroof via the key
Holding the button on the key opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof) at once. Nice for airing the car on hot days.
Mirrors folding on lock
The door mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car with the key and fold out again when you unlock. Handy in narrow streets and car parks.
Only possible if the mirrors fold electrically.
Condition: Power-folding mirrors
Rear wiper in reverse
Choose whether the rear wiper sweeps automatically when the front wipers are on and you select reverse, or not.
Convenience 8
Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above a low speed and unlock again when you switch off the engine.
Unlock when selecting P
On a DSG automatic, the doors unlock by themselves as soon as you put the selector in P.
Works together with automatic locking.
Condition: S tronic
Register a new battery
After replacing the 12 V battery we register the new battery with the correct type and capacity, so charging and start-stop work properly.
Mirror dip on reverse
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb. It returns once you drive off.
Depends on mirror and door module version.
Service interval setting
After servicing we reset the service reminder correctly and set the right interval (fixed or flexible).
SFD release for protected modules
Newer VAG models only allow coding after an online release per module. We arrange that session, for which the car must be online; if the release does not come through the function cannot be coded and we charge nothing for the attempt.
Start-stop – remember last setting
The car remembers whether you had switched the start-stop system off, so you do not need to press the button on every trip. The final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Windows after ignition off
After switching off the engine you can still operate the windows for a while, as long as no door has been opened.
Access 1
Walk-away locking
With keyless entry the car locks itself once you close the door and walk away with the key. No more touching the door handle.
Keyless entry (KESSY) only.
Condition: Advanced key
Audio 2
Keep the radio audible with park sensors
The music is no longer turned down, or turned down less, when the parking sensors become active. The sensors’ start-up beep can also be switched off.
Two phones at once via Bluetooth
Allows a second phone to be connected at the same time, for example a business and a private phone. You can call with both.
Sound 3
Acoustic lock confirmation
A short tone when locking and/or unlocking confirms that the car really is locked.
Requires alarm siren or suitable horn.
Door-open chime with ignition on
No more continuous beeping when a door is open with the ignition on, for example while loading or waiting. The message on the display remains.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Soundaktor quieter or off
The artificially enhanced engine sound in the cabin can be made quieter or switched off, for those who prefer the real engine sound.
Only on cars with a sound actuator (e.g. GTI).
Assistance 4
Hill start assist setting
How long the car holds on a slope when pulling away is adjusted (early, normal, late).
Lane assist – adjust and remember
When Lane Assist intervenes, the steering vibration and whether it remembers its last on/off state are tuned to your driving style. The final setting is chosen together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Lane assist
ACC right-side overtaking limit – adjust
Adaptive cruise brakes to avoid overtaking on the right, as is usual in Germany. This does not always suit Dutch traffic; together we choose the right setting.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: ACC
Speed assistant – one-press off
On new cars the speed assistant (ISA) is on at every start. We look together at the quickest way for you to switch it off yourself, for example via a shortcut.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: ISA (EU GSR2)
Safety 2
Brake lights flash in an emergency stop
In an emergency stop the brake lights flash rapidly so traffic behind you is warned earlier.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be set differently, for example for work where you often get in and out briefly. We discuss which setting suits you in the workshop.

Performance 4
DCC damping in Individual
Giving the adaptive dampers their own setting in Individual instead of tying them to Comfort or Sport. Only works with factory DCC; you cannot code this onto passive dampers.
Laptimer and performance measurement
A stopwatch for lap times in the instrument cluster, operated with the steering-wheel buttons. Fun for track days.
Intended for track use.
Throttle response in Individual
The accelerator responds more directly in the chosen driving profile, without changing engine power.
Pedal feel only; no power change.
XDS differential lock adjustment
The electronic differential lock (XDS) intervenes more strongly or more gently when accelerating out of a bend, for more grip or a calmer feel.
Depends on ESP software version.
Retrofit 2
Rear-view camera retrofit
A genuine rear-view camera with guidelines on the infotainment screen, coded as if fitted at the factory.
Price and feasibility after checking your equipment.
Trailer module teach-in VAG
After a towbar is fitted we register the module so lighting, parking sensors and stability control take the trailer into account.
For a retrofit towbar it depends on the wiring kit.
