Re: Front Assist

No. You turn it on in the car settings on the touch screen.

Re: Front Assist

I have it and it works fine - interfering if it senses a chance of a collision.

Re: New R-Line

The 190 version uses Adblue but not the 150. I had to use Adblue on my last A6 and it was a pain in the ass.

Re: New R-Line

Thank you for your kind words. The plight of the Palestinian people is something that is very close to the heart of many people in Ireland.
Peace, safety and health to you and your family.

Re: Album Artwork On Screen

I don't use my iphone for music so I'm not sure about it as I only use a memory stick. Try putting an album on a memory stick and see if the album art shows up - if it does then it's probably something to do with the phone settings.

Re: New R-Line

Thank you. I wish you and your family best wishes in Palestine. Yes, the car is very well equipped. The things I like best are the heated seats and steering wheel and the adaptive cruise control - it almost drives itself. The Active Info Display is also very cool.

Re: Album Artwork On Screen

In the radio settings menu there is a tick box for station logos - make sure it's ticked. Also I think there is something similar for album art under the media settings.

Re: New R-Line

New A4 is very nice - but with a decent spec it's nearly A6 money. Same with Merc - a decent spec C-Class is E-Class money.

Re: New R-Line

I listen to all my music from Mp3s on a 64gb memory stick. I find that the sound is fine as long as the treble is at halfway between middle and bottom, mid is halfway between middle and top and bass is at top.

Very nice Dom! Enjoy :D I've just had a very nice drive to Bristol in my GT. After nearly a year of ownership I'm liking it more and more. Ride quality, standard sound system / sat nav is great, LED premium lights and ACC were my add ons and they really add to the enjoyment! Thanks. Do you find tha...

Re: New R-Line

No, it's not. To spec an A6 up like that would cost a fortune and then you'd have to deal with the Adblue. Plus the Passat has a better ride and more space. Only thing missing is the badge kudos.

Re: New R-Line

It came in at €43k with the 3 year servicing. It also has a reversing camera and the Discovery Pro. I find the double glazing is good. Most of the noise comes from the tyres. No problem with phone signal.

Thanks. It is very nice. Apart from the Active Info Display it has heated/cooled/massaging/memory seats, LED headlights, heated rear seats, double glazing, self parking, keyless entry and heated steering wheel. I had the Dynaudio in the last one and was a bit worried about the standard stereo, but i...

New R-Line

Got my new 2.0TDi 150 DSG Highline Business Edition with R-Line Exterior last week. Very nice. I particularly like the Active Info Display. With the AID you can scroll through music folders with the steering wheel controls and see the selections in the display instead of having to use the touchscree...

Selecting albums/tracks from steering wheel.

When you're listening to the radio and select audio from the steering wheel you will get a list of stations in front of you between the dials. You can then select the one you want using the arrow up/down buttons on the steering wheel. However, when you're listening to media (music on a memory stick)...

Re: Front Tyre Wear

I checked my front tyres (Continental 18'') today. I have 7,000 miles done. The wear is even but they are nearly down to the legal limit. I would be pushing it to get 10,000 miles out of them.
