amusa Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Nice looking ride. Premium plus, so it's well equipped but also means you gave up the top down display. One of my favorite 'grandma features' on the audis Top down display? The display on top of the center vent (sorry my first Audi).... If this what your talking about. This is what I have https://cdn.ebizautos.media/used-2018-audi-q3-20tfsipremiumplusquattroawd-8464-20676852-15-1024.jpg Edited August 27, 2021 by amusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted August 27, 2021 I Donated Share Posted August 27, 2021 He's probably talking about the 360* cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah, the top down camera uses the cameras on the front, rear, and sides to mock up what the car looks like from a birds eye. Very cool when backing in to a precarious situation and even more so, when you're trying to get close to a curb, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted August 27, 2021 I Donated Share Posted August 27, 2021 You know most brands sell at least some cars/trims with that now, right? You don't have to spend Audi $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 In 2016, no one else had it that i was aware... Either way. That's not exactly why i bought an audi. It is why i got the trim level that I did! Im aware that alot of other cars have it now. I like my car. Come at me bro! Last i heard, you had to get the prestige level to get the top down display. They may have since changed it. On our 2016, it was an option without having to get prestige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted August 27, 2021 I Donated Share Posted August 27, 2021 Come at me bro! K We're selling the Stinger to Carmax today and hopefully getting my wife's new car (2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy) tomorrow. Fully digital dash, lane-keep assist and smart cruise that are approaching Tesla territory, blind-spot cameras, 360* parking view, HUD, etc. Plus all the traditional "luxury" shit (Nappa leather, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, nav, etc.). Expensive for a Hyundai at $45k, but an Audi with all this shit would be, what, $60k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTurbo Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Calligraphy?! Rides so well you can do calligraphy in the passenger seat? I've had my '20 Stinger since Feb 2020 and haven't hit 5k mi yet. Only a GT1 so lacking the 360/HUD goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWebb Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Audi with all this shit would be, what, a fuckton nicer? Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted August 27, 2021 I Donated Share Posted August 27, 2021 YesNot $15k+ nicer tho Also not willing to pay for Audi maintenance and repairs. We looked at the GV70 too. Nice, but couldn't justify the extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) yes. lol 15k in a car isnt that much these days. I like the fit and finish of the audis. As well as the general feel and quality. I havent paid for anything more than an oil change and tire rotation. The maintenance schedule isnt that involved. And the longevity of an audi has come light years. Not sure about hyundai. My buddy had one a couple years ago and he got rid of it and is happier with subaru quality. C&D did a review on the Hyundai autodrive feature. TLDR - it kinda works but may make you sh1t your pants.

amusa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I need to check on the camera. I have not miss with the vehicle yet. My wife been driving it and she still learning the vehicle. I know the 2018 Q5 have it. I have 360 degree (all view even top view) camera on my AMG. Edited August 28, 2021 by amusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That s3 doesn’t have it. It didn’t have a front camera in the pic. In 19 it only came on prestige trim. Not sure about 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amusa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I don’t think this one has it. I have a dummy vehicle shape on the left side of the screen that shows top view. Edited August 28, 2021 by amusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amusa Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I drove the vehicle all day yesterday. For god sake I could not figure out the Navi it's stuck to Philly, PA. I tried everything to clear it. I could not get live GPS. Then something on the screen saying it's not enable. Do I need to sync it with my phone or I need a DVD map install?

jasejase Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I've never had to do either. That's weird. Wonder if they didn't clear out the prior owners audi connect account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amusa Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) I just figured it out it was in the settings that I have to change destination view. Also I notice the SIM card was not in all the way. Now I’m trying to sync the myaudi app to the phone. I need to get in touch with my friend over at Audi. They need to verification on there end. The Audiconnect I could not set that up as well. Edited August 29, 2021 by amusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
