New member & just bought my first A8 - a fully loaded 4.2 TDi.

Ah, that's interesting. So Auto doesn't really do much at all other than lower the vehicle at speed. More real world testing required I think

Spot on, in effect Auto is Comfort mode at all times other than when it switches to dynamic at the magic 120kph.
Dynamic all the time not an option for me either, rural roads in Southern Ireland are much like Scotland i suspect.
Any progress on the CD to Jukebox issue ?

[mondie]

I have done some reading on the CD/Jukebox issue, it seems I need to access the hidden menu to activate the function but on the D4 I can only do this with a VCDS cable unlike the D3 where it could be accessed by a combination of button presses. Mate has a cable I am just waiting to see him so we can make some adjustments.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. .

I see you have lane assist also from the camera in the windscreen. .. is it active steering or vibration warning ?

[mondie]

Hi Dave, yes the car has Audi lane assist but no active steering. We recently had a rental Mondeo in Germany that had active steering, not a feature I will be looking for in the future.

I got a replacement loan car this week, it has active steering and lane assist and whilst letting it park itself has some novelty factor I wouldn't specify it given the choice!

nice car

mine is the same colour and very similar spec i didnt want a sunroof but would have liked b@o instead of bose ... mine has a black interior as opposed to light coloured

i managed to do quite a few mods via vcds including the jukebox function
and also managed to alter suspension height
i added mudflaps as when i got car i could allready see signs of stone chips on bottom of doors ' it has vastly improved since fitting

when remapped these things go like stink

For future ref the D4 uses the camera for adaptive cruise and traffic sign recognition also...... For completeness it also uses the front parking sensors when acc is crawling in traffic
