Fascinating correlation - thanks for providing the update, keep us posted!

Has anyone experienced this or similar please?? Last night - reversed into garage - cameras all working fine. This morning - driving out of garage - no cameras working. All four cameras were showing in the usual MMI display as a camera icon with a red diagonal line through them where usually there's the image from the camera. Turned off the engine, opened and shut the door and the bonnet, restarted - now 2 of the cameras are working. Rebooted MMI, no difference. I didn't leave it off very long though in these tests, as I needed to make progress on my journey. 70 miles to work - still not working. 8.30pm coming home - all normal - all cameras operative. The only thing I can think of is that after parking last night, I filled the windscreen washer and some water overflowed the spout (enough to run down under the car). Did something get wet and cause a failure? Car booked in for a diagnostic check in a couple of weeks just in case.

Interesting! I'd get it into your dealership soonest and by all means refer them to this post. I expect this is likely some known problem, as I don't see how the dealership would have come up with the fix / solution just from examining the car. Possible, but more likely it's on some kind of internal knowledgebase. So far, the issue hasn't returned. Good luck!

I've a feeling that Audi pre-sense basic (front only?) is pretty standard. There are other options that can be enabled via coding and others again that also depend on certain hardware being fitted. Suggest you get the detailed list of options from your dealership's service department specific to your actual car (based on the VIN) and then you'll know what you have / haven't got.

It's possible that the app just needed to refresh the data it retrieves from the car. I use this for reassurance that everything is OK and I also use it for a general OK on the oil level. When the App showed the oil level as low, it was in fact still inside the acceptable limits but it was a helpful thing to see. I usually check in the car itself as well. The app doesn't have a lot of functionality but you might want to explore it a bit more if you have time before deciding to ditch it.

There are quite a few occasions when I get the "Take control of the vehicle!" message - usually at times when I am *especially* focussed on doing exactly that!

I concur - if you didn't notice such fundamental differences when you first collected the car, despite having specified them when ordering, and you didn't follow up persistently with the dealership, this could be tricky. There's a window during which you can reject a new car if it's not as ordered, but that may have passed. The only real route you have here is to work with the dealership and if you don't get satisfaction there, escalate to Audi UK and also seek advice from trading standards etc. Your position may have been weakened by the fact that you haven't actively sought a resolution in 4 months since taking delivery.

Yes, but this is only possible on the Avant as they have the powered boot closing as well as opening. On the Saloon, the default mechanism to open the boot once the latch is released is just some big springs, and the foot action only releases the boot latch. That's why it does closing on the Avant and not the saloon.

Any possibility that "Favourites" is the selected option in the cockpit display and you haven't set any favourites yet? The change list button on the steering wheel left hand side that's used to bring up the context menu for the current display would swap between the calls list and the favourites list.

The A6 printed manual I received (approx March 2023 build) has the instructions for vehicles with remote parking, so I assume some A6 models (Vorsprung?) would have it.

Looks like there might be a way - google "android force app to use mobile data". It will have to be a phone configuration, not something you can do with the MMI. Mostly, it's desirable to use WiFi over cellular data except in this case 🙂

You're welcome. The dealership I bought mine from claimed it didn't have the capability at all, but it turns out it only works when the car is fully locked with the engine off.

I believe the closing by foot kicking only works if you have the powered opening/closing boot. If it's just the standard A6 then it's opening only with the foot gesture as the boot lid rises as the result of a spring, not as the result of a motor. Not the same car but a video here:

Weird, don't think they get separated out like that, so perhaps it's not working...

I've a feeling that advanced key is always paired with keyless start? In which case you'd start the car with a button in the centre console as well... I expect the door handles look the same regardless.
