The small compartment under the front of the seat was possibly designed as storage of a small umbrella. That's where I keep one and it's extremely convenient to access. Great video.
Target sells mini umbrellas that fit like a glove in the little under seat compartment so I have one in each front seat! I have used them a total of zero times in two years but it feels nice to know they are there ya know?
I’m stationed in Germany and when I bought my car I found safety vests from the dealership or previous owner in the compartments. Good place to put them. We are required to put them on before exiting the vehicle in case of a accident or break down on the autobahn.
Not sure if you saw it, but if you enable lap timer in OBD, it also shows colored indicator when to change speeds in your HUD display. It only shows there when the car in Dynamic mode and you drive fast and bring RPM to 4k and up. I saw it once and it's pretty cool, a feature from RS 6.
@8:23 On European C7's those compartments contain the yellow High Vis jackets in case of emergencies, when parked on the side of the road. In some countries in the EU these things are mandated to have in your car at all times
I noticed the hooks in my trunk about a week after i got the car. I thought to myself "this is German engineering at it's finest"... Also, wish there was a way to keep the mirror moving down when in reverse while also keeping the defrosters on. Great video, learned some new stuff!
Tip #8 under seat - my 2016 Prestige w massaging seat function does not have this. Maybe the space is for the extra motors and Audi decided why not provide a compartment on other seats? Great video! Almost EVERYTHING in this video applies to my C7.5 and I didn’t know any of it other than the side mirror settings!
Did you know you can make your foot well temperature slightly different than your cabin temp? in the MMI there is an offset. I usually kept mine a couple of degrees warmer year round.
Thanks for all those useful tips👍 Learned a lot! Question: for those who have Android Auto after market screen with touch interaction and toggles back and forth into the default MMI Audi platform view in the LCD pop up screen....any tips how to resolve at random trip of display sometimes showing ugly analogue style green or yellow lines? It happens at random maybe 1 of 20-30x when the system starts. In extreme hot or cold weather. Visibility disappears and then resumes on a subsequent start and everything works again as normal like ever nothing happened. So random but annoying b/c there isn't any clue for the cause or trigger. I apologize if this was covered before in another video. A newbie to this channel but Content is lit and supports my daily love driving this gem of a ride. Ripping down lofi videos with natural scenary while vibing with tunes on a night drive or roaming out on open roads is absolutely 💯 epic fun in this car.
So I think I mentioned this to you on AZ. There are a few things different on my C7.5 and I think it's due to my HUD. If I enable needle sweep, I have no LEDs on the speedometer. Those are for the cruise control indication, My indication is in the HUD or in the lower part of the dash for cruise control speed. Also the shift light is in the HUD and doesn't appear on the dash. When track mode is enabled, there is a thin red line that occupies the spot where the shift light would appear. When the shift light is enabled and it appears in the HUD, it looks exactly like the dash, colors and all. When the shift light is enabled it goes to the ECU redline, not the TCU. Stage 1 and Stage 2 APR pushed the redline to 7400rpm . I could only get the shift light to light the greens under AMAX in first gear. Now I run a 7250 Berk tune and I can get full indication with the flashing shift indication. I'm not sure if it is directly linked to the LEDs but it looks like it is. You'd have to find an older A6 where the ECU tune doesn't change the LEDs on the tach but has an TCU tune as well and the shift lights on. I'll see if I can find a vid. Might be the difference in my SIMOS 16 ECU.
@@AudiC7Owners Imagine how pissed off I was when I enabled track mode and didn't see the shift light and everybody was just repeating the instructions to me, like I'm an idiot. Now imagine the excitement I felt when I did an AMAX launch and saw the shift light in the HUD briefly. Then add more excitement for when I got the TCU tuned and I could see the whole thing. So this may only be for C7.5 with a HUD. I'm only slightly miffed at no red LED on the speedo for the start up needle sweep, but I have to take the W on the HUD with engine oil temp, speed, drive mode, gear selection and shift light. Track mode is also not supposed to be available on 2012 C7 models because it was an option on the S6/S7/RS6/RS7 which didn't have the 4.0T with track mode until 2013. You seen anything on that?
@@AudiC7Owners much appreciated and did you do anything to the cold air intake and if so....which one do you recommend....im thinking of going with the RS7 air box with a silicone throttle body tube??? So i can still look stock but have that supercharged whine...as you can see from my pics i have a 2014 Audi A6 3.0T prestige fully loaded....i just did the Muffler Delete and i kept my resonator...but im getting drone do you have any suggestions on getting rid of the droning.....my co worker told me about the full catback borla
If you check out our recent videos you can see my current intake setup. I did the rs7 for a bit but then moved to a modified oem airbox. The exhaust on these cars is the hardest thing to get right. Drone/rasp is always an issue unless you really do some work. It gets even worse after you get test pipes installed. Most people buy the AWE touring exhaust, but I like my valvetronic exhaust from Cende because when the valves are closed it is extremely quiet, but when they are open it is very very loud. Best of both worlds
Plenty of people have done it... Just have to find a wiring diagram for the tail lights, or play around with the wires till you get the desired effect.
How did you get Efficiency and Race modes in your Audi Drive Selector? I have a '14 that only has Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual. I'm guessing it's from a tune or re-flash of the MMI somehow? I'd love to add these to mine!
great video... deters me from any idea of making a C7 my next DIY car. still driving an older C5 2.7t allroad, with just 175k miles. if you have any experience with this engine, would love to hear your comments and warnings.... thx
@@AudiC7Owners my bad.... I answered the wrong video. thought I was answering this video, which is a bit disheartening: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iz7jpf-5abw.html
To answer the question about dangers of low oil temperature: Basically, if you don't get the oil temp up high enough you can't burn off all the deposits & water vapor that accumulates from combustion. The water will mix with sulfur & create acids that can damage bearings. You also won't make as much power as you should be.
@@AudiC7Owners CREC and from lap timer. Well shit none of that sounds good. I'm assuming there isn't a way to fix it other than drive harder. It sat around 200 during the summer though
Wish I could send ya a picture... there a little light on the ridge of the door, below that button for blind spot monitoring... looks like a car alarm/ security red light, but I've never seen it go off.. car is still new to me, thanks again
err the Valet thing, what's stopping the valet person who is parking your car for you to go to the glove box and pushing the button again? Then he can open the trunk after all, can't he? /she?
What's that little screen inside your left air vent? Seems like it displays some sort of temperature. Is this something you added aftermarket? What does it do? Very curious!

Great video, I have a question on timming belt change.i have same car 2017 model with only 114,000 km, When I researched it on line I'm getting different answers when to change.i have also contacted two main dealer's and both with different answers 😂, online I'm seeing 210,000 km regardless of age,main dealer 210,000 or 6 years. What's your thoughts?
Most people agree that you don't change your timing chains until you need to. When you have more than two seconds of chain rattle on a cold start, or any chain rattle at all during a warm start, you should get your timing chains done.
I need your opinion about c7 3.0t. I owned several Mercedes’ benzes c,e,gl.regular oil change and never had problem (say timing chain ) ,I owned 8j vr6 Audi TT ,that was most reliable car to me. Very easy to maintain,I do all work myself. I am in market for a7 (used) is 3.0t is reliable ,I drive 30000 miles a year.
Hey man! I do really like ur channel here! Thank u for all the knowledge u share w us. I'm from Brazil and I wanna buy an A7 S-line but here we don't have this digital HVAC and rear seats HVAC optional. In Brazil we only had two-zone analogic HVAC offered, so I intend to import all equipments needed to convert my A7 to 4-zone HVAC like your car. Is it possible to make a video explaining how ur system works? I wanna learn, so I can do it here
yes you can disable door chime. also you can close your boot with remote or inside switch on estate cars and disable permanently auto start stop function.
That little compartment under the drivers seat is for a small umbrella or in the US, a weapon. My personal preference is an unsheathed bayonet or diver's knife
Good info. These are not c7 specific, and are on most if not all newer platforms. So they could be of use to others as well. B8 b8.5 have them too I know.
