How is the car and where are the pics? biggrin
I put some pics on a few pages back http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... The car is fantastic apart from the fuel consumption. 20mpg average.

If I do cancel I need to do so today, 14 days after I signed the paperwork. I've reached out again to get clarification around the VED....

Audi Newbury have come back to me and will honour the VED increase, which they say is £9 per month extra.

I have it in writing now.

That's great news. Did you order via an Audi dealer or lease company? my past experience is that lease companies are not so accommodating.

Are any of these deals still available for a business user?

If so, any contact details would be appreciated.

Thanks

To those who have the car....

Anyone having any issues with audi connect. Mine keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes or so (random locations doesn't seem linkedgeree to signal) it tells me to activate data connection and to insert a sim card.

When I took it to audi they did a reset bu5 hasn't changed anything.

On a side note.... if anyone needs some speed camera location files then I can send them to you. Seems to work well in my car.
Hi Jacob can't help on the SIM card but can you try your own SIM is it nano?
Re: speed cameras - did you follow some of the guides such as http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/speed-camera-...
I take it you got the data from pocketgpsworld and did you do OTA and enable the notifications and change zoom level via changing categories.pc file? sorry for all the questions smile
Darren - I would very much appreciate the files needed to add the speed camera to my car, if you could send through the files to me that would be great. I've just tried to PM you, but the settings don't seem to allow you to receive private messages. Please feel free to PM me and I can send you my email address.

If anyone has already done this, perhaps a simple step-by-step instruction guide on the tips and tricks thread would be really useful to anyone like me who hasn't done it yet. Thank you.

After much badgering, delivery date confirmed... 28th march by transporter as requested (don't want it ragged from Sheffield to Plymouth!)...

Anyone else getting theirs from Sheffield next week?

Is the car with them now or still at the docks?

That's a real shame, but understandable. Good luck with whatever else you have in mind and let us know what you bought!

Hi David,

I did mention a few pages back about Hollie at Tamworth Audi possibly offering a good deal but no more personal deals, she can still offer business contract hire. I'll PM you here number.

I may have someone who is willing to take that over from you - any chance if confirming price and contact details of the dealer please.

PM is fine if you prefer.

Hi Jezz i haven't done this yet but Jacob did, i will be looking to do it soon though! in a nutshell you need to get coords of the different cams in a CSV file via pocketgpsworld - myaudi can upload this as POI's (actually speed cams)and voila are good. Jacob did you use a particular guide? I think this one is good as it focuses on over the air as well as USB local http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/speed-camera-...
