Maybe on the D4, where the tech is newer and Sat Nav is standard as it does the left/right switch when you go abroad too doesnt it?....

i think the C6 is probably basic like the B8 though....

Not that you can call your C6 'basic'... :o ;)

No, the D4 was supposed to do that too. But when it went to France the beam had to be manually adjusted, I say 'manually' but it was actually done with a few clicks of the MMI.

AFAIK a lot of this will only work if you have "online services" working via the sim card in the dash so that the sat nav knows where you are. it then accesses a database of speed limits it has and I guess turns down the lights as you come into any built up area that has street lighting. same applies to things like holding gears based on what bends are upcoming and adjusting headlight beams and adaptive lighting to suit the current/upcoming position

Sooo.... If you take out the navigation disc, the hi beam assist stops working.?.. Easy test, off you go Amar lol +++

it doesnt stop working, it has a sensor that still dips for other cars coming in the other direction, it just stops dipping automatically when you come into towns, but not sure amar has this option with MMI 3G high with online services and a live sim card in this car?

I'm not sure it has a navigation DVD, the map data might be saved on the hard drive. Did I mention it has a hard drive, you can just copy all the songs from the SD card on to it, forgot what GB it is now, but it is huge. Neil, I do have a place to insert a SIM, does that mean I have online services? The car is three years and two months old, not sure when all that stuff came out.

You'd have to look at the codes on your build sticker to see if it was specced with MMI 3G High with Online services. A hard disk is a good sign as is the sim card slot but I'm not sure on that model what was available when. I thought the A7 & A8 were the first to feature it in which case yours may not (ie the new shape A6 will do) but that said its a top of the range model so put your codes into the decoder and hopefully it will tell us

That its a fantastic looking machine you've got yourself there Amar

It'll be MMI3G at that age I imagine, especially with the HDD in there.

Not sure what online services MMI3G came with though... I thought that was the 4G that had the GPS-related stuff.
