I agreed with your logic

I couldn't believe that ADS wasn't available on the S5 in the UK, but thankfully it was a configurator error and it was in the dealers order guide.

I don't like Dynamic though, as it locks 6th...

Re: 3G MMI, LED taillights etc - already in S5s built from wk 49 2008

I know, mine has them (automatic upgrade from 2G MMI and standard lights applied in the factory).

The sport differential is mentioned in the owners manual, but AFAIK it is possibly linked to Drive...

This appears to be the answer

Previously, B8 cars without "full MMI" used one iPod cable (4F0 051 510 K) and cars with "full MMI" used another (4F0 051 510 L).

Well, despite the new "3G MMI" system being touted as full MMI, it...

No, but I got a value on the trade-in allroad that was just equal to just over book value plus

about 6% of the list price of the S5. Odd that, seeing as the allroad was mine personally, and the S5 is through the company... ;-)

Interesting. You have the new 3G MMI with two SD and SIM slots in the dash?

This iPod worked fine in a C6 allroad AMI, but when I connect it to the S5, after a few seconds the iPod says "Do not disconnect" but no Audi logo appears and in the "source" selection, it says...

That's one of the things I'm trying to find out.

I'm trying to find out from parts if there's a different part number for iPod AMI cables for the B8 platform.

5G video iPod not working with new 3G MMI/AMI

I used the interface cable and iPod from the (C6) allroad and plugged it into the S5, only for the AMI item (greyed out) in the "source" selection in Media to change to "Not compatible"

So, no CD...

The S5 manual is *such* a tease - it shows sport differential under ADS

I got all excited flicking through the manual to see references to the sport differential "applies to vehicles equipped with Audi Drive Select".

Then, when I saw the MMI screen diagram where you...

Never left the family really. After the smurfed RS6

I had a W12, then an S8, then an allroad, another S8 and now have a new RS6 Avant.

Hence expecting no complaints if I take the S5...

Very minor tweaks already in production

Everything confirmed from week 45 should have the new HDD-based nav system instead of the DVD-nav.

I <i>think</i> the new LED rear lights should be on S5 from build week 49, as should the new-look...

S5 Tip should be ready Friday - in PDI now!

Woo-hoo, am I excited!

OK, I have no real right to be excited, as this is mainly going to be the wife's car, but I have a feeling I'll be pushing for a share-share-alike car policy in future! ;-)...

Huh? I'm sure I've seen that MMI option on an S5 in the UK

but I know different markets sometimes get different MMI options, so perhaps your market has limited it to a dealer-only thing?

It's a simple plug-in and press a few buttons for a dealer, or you...

LOL! I'm hoping that's been fixed in the C6...

R&amp;T must be idiots if they think DRC is something that can be turned off.

They've got a point though - with ESP off, especially in the wet, a heavy right foot could get you into trouble.

It's...

Ah-ha! Appearance; now we're getting somewhere

Sorry if that came over a bit aggressive, but I'm getting a bit hacked off with jackasses who've never driven an RS 6 commenting on it...

As for looks, the C6 RS 6 doesn't really look that much...

Oh, the sig got so out of date it's just not true. Missing is:

MY2006 S8
MY2007 A6 allroad 3.0 TDI Tip
MY2008 S8

And of course the RS 6.

I think it would get a bit too wide for most screens if I added all that stuff! ;-)

C6 S6 Avant is still a current model as far as I know; 5.2 litre V10

Same engine as the S8, with 20 hp less power, due to changes in the inlet manifold and exhaust.<ul><li><a...
