Hi. I have just had my MY2020 A6 Avant 50TDI Quattro’s software updated on 19 May 2020. The difference is immediately obvious and it feels like a different car now. The step off delay seems to have been fixed. Really enjoy driving it now. The previous lag was such a let down.

Hi Not sure about the Dash Cam as I don’t have one. I think it does improve the rear camera in some way. Took my newly updated car out on a longish trip. It was a pleasure to drive. Quantum improvement. Enjoy!

Hi Is it possible to: > Input a Latitude & Longitude as a Destination? > Show current Lat/Long? > Put ‘present position’ in as Home Address? thank you Alex

Hi I can help you with 1 & 7 1. Very familiar with this annoying problem. Just had Software update today (19 May 2020) that seems to have fixed - or at least very much improved -the step off delay. Only driven home from the dealer but it feels much better. There was also an MMI update. Fingers crossed this is it. (NB Mine is the 50TDI Quattro.) 7. The rattle on my car comes from where the plastic under the instrument binnacle meets the binnacle. Pushing on this plastic will stop it. I notice it after a big change in internal temp such as when setting A/C to Max.

Hi. Just had the Software on my Audi TDI50 Black Edition update today (19 May 2020). There were two updates - one for the MMI and one affecting the gearbox. I have only driven the car for 30 mins or so but it seems to have - at last - fixed (or at least very much improved) the ‘step off’ delay (fingers crossed). I’ll see how it goes over time but initial impression is good and makes the car feel much nicer to drive. My Dealer is now open for Service but not sales. Social distancing in force but worked well. Contact your dealer. Hopefully this is the fix we have been waiting for. I recommend you go for this update - you’ll be glad you did. Alex

Just completed 1000miles in my new 50TDI Q BLK Avant. I did get the same rattle you are talking about. Seemed to come on after using max a/c. After a short while I found that pressing and pushing on the plastic panels either side of the steering wheel below the instrument binnacle cured the problem. I think it is a case of the plastic moving near the edges. A push helps it ‘seat’ better. The effect of max a/c may have had the effect of causing some contraction and resultant creaks. All ok now.

NIGHT VISION & HD MATRIX HEADLAMPS. I am ordering a new A6 Avant 55 TFSI QUATTRO TECH PACK. The extras include Night Vision and Matrix HD Headlamps. The Audi Build Configurator does not allow both. My question is: Is this because the Night Vision option includes Matrix HD? I ask this because the Night Vision system is able to precisely ‘triple flash’ a detected target. This precise capability would - it seems to me - require HD Matrix technology. I am hoping that specifying Night Vision will also give Matrix HD headlamp capability. The dealer has not been able to accurately answer this so far.
