Glad you posted the new software version #. The one guaranteed to cure the problem that they installed last May still isn't doing the trick. I am losing all recent destinations 2 or 3 times a month -...

Since you live in NY State, I assume you'd have the vehicle registered in NY State, right? That being the case, it is unlikely that a CT dealer (as you stated your Audi dealer is) would be able to...

I believe they are in New York State. I use them sometimes just to annoy young drivers.

Seats. Like those in every Audi I have owned, they've already begun to wrinkle. BMW's leather seats as well as M-B and most luxe Japanese cars stay totally smooth even after many years and miles of...
