Control **** direction
I apologize in advance for a dumb question, but the control **** for the radio, nav, etc., moves the selected area in the opposite direction than I'd expect (i.e., it moves up when I'd expect it to move down). Is there way to reverse the direction? Thanks guys!

Which ****? Steering wheel, The one on the console by the gear shift lever?

The steering wheel? LOL. No, the one in the central console that changes radio stations, zooms in and out in navigation, etc. I'm assuming it can't be changed, but wondering nonetheless. Thanks!

I think OP means MMI control ****
I noticed the same thing. You would think advance (or down) would be clockwise.
This is different than my prior BMW daily driver, taking some time to get used to.
I am not aware of any way to change it. Other than to learn new habits.

While new car shopping I read a review or two that mentioned this was counter intuitive to other similar controls.
It would be nice if it could be changed. After a year of ownership, I still have to think about it now and then.

No way to reverse it (short of trying to reverse the signal itself in the hardware), but you'll get used to it. It may help to think of it as scrolling on the left instead of twisting (so to go down, scroll the left side of the **** down with your thumb). That may or may not be the idea behind the design, but it's at least a way to try and make sense of the direction you need to go.

Thanks guys. I'll definitely get used to it, but I use a track ball instead of a mouse on my computer and it works the opposite way so it's kind of annoying. Seems like changing the direction of the dial is something Audi could offer fairly easily. Oh well. Thanks again.
