Are you talking about that thing with 3 slots which holds a total of 6 quarters in an upright position? That will pay for 72 minutes of parking downtown ... useless!

That will pay for about 15 minutes in certain parts of San Francisco!

I think all you have to do is push the volume **** down (what you would do to mute the radio).

and we found out that is a PAUSE button when listening to an audiobook....

first time we did what we thought was just a normal mute button, the audiobook started right back where we left off...
(worried it was JUST a mute button and let it continue playing!)

Default parking break

Not sure if everyone knows this, but I just found this out today by accident. If the parking brake is on and you put the vehicle into gear (forward or reverse) and hit the gas it will automatically release the parking brake.

This isn't so much hidden as unexpected.

If you find yourself getting low on fuel, not only does the center console light up the fuel logo (sounding an alarm), but the MMI Navigation plus with Audi Connect will ask you if you want to search and navigate to gas stations in the vicinity. Kind of cool if you don't know where the gas stations are. I don't usually make a habit of letting my tank get that empty so it surprised me on a long drive this weekend.
