  1. I just use the phone the MMI on mine doesn't support Android Auto or AppleCar so am left with little choice. 
    While I had a Q2 loaner I used the Android Auto which was a lot easier - about the only thing I liked on that car. 

  2. Hi Lee,
    I tend to use Waze, its more uptodate and the much cheaper option. 
    When I got my 2012 the maps had not been updated so I got some of eBay that came easy to load with full instructions but have not bothered since as use the mobile.
     

    Happy motoring, Cheers

  3. Hi John, I can only go on my recent experience. On my A7 2012 3.0Tdi booked it in at Audi for a full service and gearbox filter and oil change, as the service booking site at Audi listed it as an item - 225 gbp for the privilege. 
    I got a call from them later to state that an oil and filter change cannot be carried out as its a sealed for life... 

    Thanks M.

  4. Hi Paul, haven't had to use one for a while (luckily) but the thicker the better imho.

    I stopped using a booster seat in the car about a year ago but got something like the above ages ago when first child was a baby and it lasted till last year - about 14yrs in total. 
    The one I used was a thick rubber and went in several different cars with both leather and cloth seats, and never left a mark. 
    Hope that helps

  5. Hi Richard, think you may want to take your dog along for a test drive.
    I have found the A7s boot (because of the rakish design) can be limited - great for cases and bags but wasn't great for a rabbit hutch and all the paraphernalia that goes with it.

    We dog sat a largish golden retriever and that ended up having to sit on the back seat.

    Though I would highly recommend the car for driving, comfort and build!
    Hope this helps a bit... 
    Thanks Mark 

  6. Have one for my and the spare key and they sit in them when in doors - like putting them in a tin. This way the key cannot be cloned from outside the house, as been publicised in the press.
    Also when I go out the pouch comes to and when leaving the car and locking it put key back in pouch so again no-one can open the car if you are in range (I know the range on the audi wireless is not too far, about 5-6 ft or so, but I am a bit paranoid after loosing cars in the past). 

     

  7. Hi Steve, I use a faraday pouch to keep the keys in - so they cannot be hacked - as seen in the press. - like - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA2D1OHRQ64PKHM&field-keywords=car+key+signal+blocker+pouch&gclid=CjwKCAjwmufZBRBJEiwAPJ3Lpqs9Xkq_SpXM_CBmSHzURHvWlPS-PffEktbgo_Wnoz2G8vThGIyb4hoCNuYQAvD_BwE

    Also had a tracker fitted, had on my old BMW so as soon as I got my Audi the tracker was ordered and fitted, https://www.trackershop-uk.com/product-category/car-trackers/

  8. Hi Bob, you could try Aldi or Lidl glasses cleaner wipes - you get loads in a box and quite handy and reasonable. 
    I've not used them on a MMI touch screen but have used them on expensive camera lenses, tablets, phones, standard MMI screen,  Oh and glasses. 
    Thanks
    Mark
