Does anyone know if these are available in the US?
I WISH! If they were available somehow, I would love to replace mine with the low profile Euro versions. They get all the cool stuff--like seats with neck warmers which are only available on the A5 Cab, not the A3 Cab here in the US :-(

Question on the voice enablement...did the dealer charge you to do enable this?

Nope, they did it free of charge. Ask your salesman to set it up for you.

Without Audi Connect and Navigation what will Voice control allow you to do?

Thanks for the information. I will see if I can get the dealer to turn it on.

I'd Love to buy the European style rear headrests too, if anyone knows a dealer that stocks/sells them, make sure to post about it, I hate having holes in my back seat, but it's still better than those massive head restraints.

I have not looked, but isn't the middle headrest on the US version pretty much the same as the Euro headrests?

The cabriolet actually has only 2 headrests, no middle seat...

But yes, I do believe the middle headrest in the u.s. version is similar in the sedan to the euro spec, although the outer 2 headrests are much larger and block a significant portion of the smallish rear window (although not as bad as the cabriolet).

You're luck - I live in Canada and Audi Canada won't allow the dealers to make the change to turn the voice recognition back on - I've a 'full load' 2016 A3 Cabriolet - really bothers me that Siri doesn't even work on my iPhone when the car is on. Wish there was some way to talk to someone in charge at Audi Canada and get them to see that users end up typing in commands rather than safely using voice control. - And they say it's turned off 'for safety reasons' - I say BS
