Wow. What a great feature.

While us D3ers don't even get tourist option on MMI, meaning I have to take my laptop abroad with us. All the same, nice to see the extent to which things have come on.

Tourist solution is the setting in VCDS you enable to flatten the light pattern for use on the other side of the road. It takes seconds. I think the earlier D3s have a manual lever on the lights. It would be nice if they had the feature on the MMI.

oh yes, i think i have the lever that you cant get to without taking the engine out

its a little feature but it would be really nice to have it. i did see the port for the extra sim card, i thought it was either phone or wifi hotspot, probably does those as well.

do you switch these online services on and off, it sounds like it uses a lot of data to be left on perfectly

You can switch the lights to "tourist option" using VCDS on the D3
