Hi Martin Sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. Do you think the failure to start and alarm activation could be something to do with the Ghost immobiliser I recall you had fitted? The settings message on start up does appear superfluous but if you put the car into drive is should disappear. The phone connection problems you are experiencing seem to be a common issue so hopefully Audi will be aware of it. Unfortunately the driver assistance aids are now mandatory on EU vehicles and are obtrusive. I think whichever new car you buy you will be faced with the same necessity of deactivating them each time you start the car. Audi have in their favour made it easy to access them through a single press of a button. I hope the problems you are experiencing will be resolved quickly.
