We should have all the reconfigaration options on this site, there must be so many options, like when it's below 0 degrees your windows could open momenterally, just to give you a feel of what it's like outside!!

Martin .. were you charged for 8 minutes of the technician's time (+ sundry materials as this always appears on the end of the bill)?

Yeah, and when it rains we can make the opensky open automatically. Makes you appreciate a roof even more :D

Just collected my New A2, asked if locks could be configured as detailed by Thierry, took 5 mins and no extra charge, well pleased.

I moved recently. I now live in about 250 km distance from the dealer who did the crash repair. Since the misconfiguration was obviosly caused by this repair, I asked that dealer what I'm supposed to do now.

They said that I should go to a local dealer who should send the bill to them. Last week I went to a local dealer, explained the problem and left the car there for a day. When I fetched the car the LED didn't blink the "car alarm not working code", but another one. Since these codes are not found in the manual, I expected that this new code was the "everything ok" code. But the next day I noticed that the code had changed back again to the "car alarm not working code". I then looked in the Selbststudienprogramm for the code from the day before and it still had something to do with an alarm.

So I brought the car to the local dealer again and this time went with the mechanic and supervised what he did :D

He now entered the correct code (which I verified), we immediately looked up the LED blink code (which was yet another different one) in the Selbststudienprogramm which I brought with me and now it was the "locks working correctly and no alarm system fitted" code. I hope everything is fine now.

To come to the original question:

I wasn't billed anything at all, but today I got a copy of the bill from the first attempt (to be paid by the crash-repair dealer):
reading error log: 13,19 EUR
reconfiguring control unit: 36,28 EUR
= (with VAT added) 57,39 EUR !!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how long it took them for the first, failed attempt. But I'm pretty sure that I'll always stay next to the mechanic if anything like this happens again, so he can't bill me for the time he needs to find the documentation in the computer.

Why don't Audi do these changes as standard?. it's these little extra's that give the car it's WOW factor. It just adds to the brands thoughtful touches. Weird people, Audi!.

Nothing to do with automatic locking doors...but I just discovered that there are little slots in the C pillar into which you can push the rear seatbelt buckles when not in use.

As well as the well documented plastic, deformable wings, did you know that the front upper, internal, black cross member of the bonnet opening is a composite of recycled plastic and ............................ wait for it ..................................steel!

The mirrors fold inwards towards the car should you need to park in a tight space.

For those of you with an Audi Symphony head unit here is a great little trick to get the optimum sound settings:

Set all sound values to the centre, bass ,mid....

Turn the head unit off.

Press and hold button number "5" and turn the unit back on.

8 numbers should come up.

1 represents the front speaker bass
2 " " " middle
3 " " " trebble
4 " " " dunno (cant tell the difference.)
5 " rear " bass
6 " " " Middle
7 " " " Trebble
8 " " " again, dunno.

To change the value, turn the volume dial and to move to the next number press TP/AS (it's one of them i cant remember off hand)

Turn the unit off and back on again. Tada!!!

I've set mine to 64555588

And the regular bass to one notch past centre waith the trebble 2-3 past centre. Sounds fab.

Happy BOOOOOMING!

Just push them inwards with your hands.......like every car.

Do the mirrors fold in when you lock the car, or when you switch off the engine?
