Would that be like ambient lightening with different colours? No option of that that anywhere, don’t think I read that was included in the build.
It can be changed to different colours but thats an added extra, as standard it's just white and audi website states:LED Interior Lighting Pack (standard)
Front and rear reading lights – capacitive reading lights in front
Reflected lighting on centre console
Glove compartment light
Passive door warning lights
Luggage compartment light
Vanity mirror, illuminated
Exterior courtesy lighting in the exterior door handles
Illuminated cup holders in the front
Footwell lighting
Interior door handles
Ambient door lighting
Ambient lighting for centre console in the front

If you are coming from a pre-facelift A5 (2017 >19) is is far better! More range in tone, crisper and there is now no sub in the boot - a stupid place where it was vibrating on metal!
I'm in the music and sound business so always had high end systems that I use to install myself. The old A5 was woeful this new one is far superior. Not what the standard Audi systems were years ago but its fine. Many say the C&S upgrade isn't worth the money and not to bother. In reality, every one's ears are different and the music you are playing. If you are streaming low bit audio (less than 320kbps mp3 files) then I'd save your money. Listening to DAB radio - certainly save your money! None are more than 128kbps. The vast majority at 64kbps mono!
Amazing, thanks for this mate!I'm in the music and sound business so always had high end systems that I use to install myself. The old A5 was woeful this new one is far superior.

Just took delivery of it - how do I check if it’s 2020 or 2021MY?
If it was made after the third week of July build week, 2021MY so wireless android / carplay as standard. Mine was built weeks before so a 2020MY and wired so I need a cable! It runs off 5G wireless the 2021MY but you have prompted me to wonder if I tether my phone to the car's mobile hotspot and see?!

Amazing, thanks for sharing and confirming this!It was especially confusing as the Audi configurator under the “Audi Smartphone Interface” section still states “ Audi smartphone interface connects your smartphone to your Audi and transfers your smartphone content directly and seamlessly to the MMI display via USB”, which they really should update!

What's the standard stereo like? I was weighing up the Comfort and Sound pack but it's pretty well equipped standard so didn't think it was worth the extra.
Not a fan of the standard speakers in this car. Had to turn the bass and treble up to make it better. Previous A-Class was much better with the standard speakers, then again that was a much smaller car which could affect the sound quality as well. Kev_63 said:

Just waiting for it to get darker for the lights, one thing I was disappointed was they haven't used LED inside the glove box - no idea why! Will show later on today.
Front and rear dashcam installed - routing took bit of a while, as they’ve made the fittings pretty well!
Routed the wires from the front to passenger side, over the side pillar (as don’t want to mess with the airbags)
Then into the side rubbering and then through the side box (which pops off).
From there one wire went to cigarette lighter and second I ran through the bottom plastic panelling straight to the boot and through the rear seat and straight up onto the ceiling.
There is also a cigarette lighter on right side boot and a fuse box located on the left side.

Bright yellow bulb I take it then? At least its not always on show. I take it, the same for the boot also then. Just waiting for it to get darker for the lights, one thing I was disappointed was they haven't used LED inside the glove box - no idea why! Will show later on today.

If the side airbag deploys the cable will go with it, effectively ripping the cam from the mount and becoming a small hard projectile, as well as ripping the rest of the cable and headlining out.... Or possibly restricting the deployment.Routed the wires from the front to passenger side, over the side pillar (as don’t want to mess with the airbags)
If anything like my A6, shouldn't be too hard to route the cable under the airbag, there was some room.
