This horse has been beaten dead, but I don't care. I'm here to complain again. I personally don't mind screens, but you have to make an effort to make the software good. In what world did Audi think it was acceptable to ship the software in a state that the navigation screen has 20% bezels on all corners? For what reason? It's not a hardware limitation because we know the screen has a larger real estate. For some fucking reason, they just decided not to use the full screen when it comes to navigation.

Can’t believe this was 2018, I miss what Audi used to be.

Dropped my mom off at the airport in Brussel and there I saw this absolute beauty and BMW X5 45e

I had mental health issues going on for the past couple of weeks and neglected the inside of my car while maintaining the outside of appearance of a clean car.

- main things I’m asking about is the center console since I’m not sure if it’s real wood or not
- it’s only food and drink stains since my family would eat in my car a lot

If it helps I drive an Q5 2019 premium plus

I know which one I like

Down for a year, it’s up again. It’s slow, so be patient. I’m sure a Reddit hug of death won’t help either, but for those of you with older cars looking to update firmware or maps, it’s a useful repository. Of course it’s all DIY and at your own risk. And, for clarity, i have nothing to do with the site. I just noticed it was back online and thought some of you might want to check it out.

If you get a cloud flare error, just wait a little while (15 minutes?) and try again.

Happy updating!!

Including an obligatory picture of me in my TT on a recent road trip

I have never seen my version of mine after 2.5 years. 36k in miles.

This isn't for me, but more-so for my mum. For reference I am based in the UK.

My mum passed her driving test in 2014, and has only ever had three cars since then. This being a Vauxhall Corsa, then a Ford Fiesta, and now a Ford Kuga. The pattern I've noticed is that she does keep her cars, she had her Fiesta for 8 years before taking on my dad's Kuga last year.

We had an Audi Q2 (mum's choice) back in 2019 ordered from new. It was an S Line, but it was a 6 speed TDI and it was awfully slow, so my mum made my dad keep it until the lease was up and he went and bought the Kuga, whilst my mum kept her Fiesta.

She loves her Kuga, and having a bigger car, but her dream car has always been a Q5. She's never seriously thought about getting one, until recently. My dad brought it up to her (if it was up to my mum, I think she'd still have her Corsa from 12 years ago), and they've spent the time recently looking at a Q5, specifically in District Green (maybe Ultra Blue at a push, but my mum is adamant on green).

Although all of the cars she's had are not typically "fast", she loves speed. So, my dad even proposed the idea of maybe an SQ5? I assume this will be the previous generation, so I think this depends on what can be found with what they both want.

Basically I know i've just waffled on, but I wanted to give backstory to my mum as a person and what I think she'd like in a car. She prefers the Sportback over the regular SUV size, and I really don't think she's going to let up on District Green.

If anyone else in here has the new shape Q5 or the old shape SQ5 (or even new too), if you could comment and give me any more knowledge that I can hand over. This is also just super exciting for me, I've been trying to convince my dad to put her back in an Audi for years now!

I was bored so i made my dream car because why not🤷‍♂️

What kinds of options can I unlock on a 2021 Q3 if I pay for the software and cable connector to access the MMI?

Matrix headlights?
Anything else?

I totaled a car in 2024 (my fault).. Few months ago my car was totaled (not my fault wasn’t in it) … NOW i unfortunately fell asleep on the road the other night hit a guard rail.. main damage is on the passenger side. i for sure need 2 doors and front fender and bumper and rear bumper… doors alone will be a tax.. should I go through insurance or will they drop me or just raise my rate? if so by how much guesstimate?

Hello,
I got the message “Brake servo restricted you can continue driving” a few days ago and I have done abit of research and learned about the sensor issues.

I purchased a new sensor and installed it however it did not fix the issue, upon putting the original sensor back the message has gone away.

Will I be safe to continue to drive my car?

My car is an Audi a4 2019 model
