Default Digital Speedo AND NAV display in driver info display?

I recently took delivery of a 2014 Allroad Premium+, and I'm enjoying it.

Is it possible to configure the driver info display (the screen between the tach and analog speedo) to display navigation guidance AND the digital speed simultaneously?

Thanks.

Don't think so. And I think both of them need to be fairly large to be useful.
Have you checked out the different navigator display modes on the large MMI screen? I use the version where a "pop-up"/split screen with more detailed view of junctions and lanes displays at the left side of the screen when closing up on a junction. If that fulfills your need for navigation instructions maybe you could use the DIS for digital speed.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that 'split screen' mode is useful.

I guess I've been spoiled by my Boxster, which displays both the digital speed and Nav arrows and bar graph in the DIS (in addition to the Nav screen in the centre console). I find I use the DIS most often, as it's in my direct sightline.

I'd hoped that Audi, being related to Porsche, might offer a similar display. Perhaps the Carista software offers this option?
