Simply connect your phone to the Audi Connect system (was via USB lead in the models upto 2019) and you can choose that of Waze, whatever you please.

It's free for three years. Audi hasn't worked out how to monitse the system so it just refreshes and extends licenses for free for two years at a time over the air
Sounds easy. Thanks.

Very Good deal
Was that sport back or coupe?
No arrangement fee? I recall RGW was £360.
Who offered the best deal? Will see if still available

Mine will be arriving on Friday.

By the way for anyone who wants the wireless android auto/ carplay you can get a dongle that plugs into the USB in the car and turns it wireless. Cost around £80 on amazon for the new decent ones.

Both were available. I went for sportback for the benefit of 4 doors and better access to the boot.
Yes 360 fee, when built into total price still works out good price

To add it's the USB port to the right of the fag lighter in the 2017 models onwards. It won't work on the Usb adapter plugged onto the lighter slot

Ordered on the 7th and just had my second update email since then advising they are still waiting on a build date and estimate delivery late Sept/Oct.

Going to email asking if order number is available yet so I can track it myself.

Got an email back advising they receive progress reports every 1-2 wks but no order numbers. I asked if this could be requested from supplying dealer and was told no, as they deal with Audi UK direct and not the dealer.

But they have said if I require an update in between the normal updates, then just to email or call and they can request one.

Or 3+23 for £292 against 6k on a 35 TDI Sportback S-Line with metalic paint thrown in for free.

I got mine on a VWFS loyalty deal. Usually it would have been £316 on that profile on loyalty or £372 without loyalty.

I ended up at 225 9+23 with flat wheel included, I also asked for a quote for loyalty discount and lower 5kpa miles, with broker fee came to 7.52 over two years for the coupe, I like the car in white so that was ok, there is some good standard equipment now but one step backwards is the radio, the S Line cars only come with 8 speaker passive no amp system, previously was 10 speaker system with amp, my last car had it and it was pretty good, would have paid a bit more for an upgrade but with only b+o as an option at 1400 quid was too steep

Nice deal!

My 2018 sportback only has 8 speakers, like the facelift. At least that where I can see them. The audio system hasn't changed in the facelift

Equipment, yes around £4k as standard now that were options in 2017/18; plus the S5 pre-facelift alloys are now standard fit on the facelift S-Line

That's interesting, if you have an S Line sportback there might be a centre speaker under the grill in the dash and an enclosed subwoofer in the boot floor cavity and amp tucked away in the boot left side, but I agree the added stuff like the folding mirrors, virtual cockpit, full size nav display and particularly the previous S5 wheels helped me to make the decision to lease, was a tough choice between the coupe and the sportback, went for the coupe for some reason

You'll love the sportback. The 'signature' curvy line running down the sides gives it more time to 'breathe' and develop. That curvy line looks stubby on the coupe.

Definitely no centre speaker or sub in the S-Line 2018 or new. :-(

I've always thought that about the coupe, someting not quite perfect towards the rear end, the facelift has impoved it but coming from an S4 I felt the coupe would give a little bit extra with the sporty look, will miss the 4 doors at times though, current S4 well out if my lease price range this time around

What are our options if delivery ends up to be in November not September or October as quoted? My motor goes back mid September, think can live without a car for 4 weeks but definitely not till November and beyond. Is cancellation a option? Will my £360 fee get refunded?
