Yeah, I guess I can live with that. A few other questions:
1. Via Bluetooth, does it show the album artwork when streaming audio?
2. Have you tried the hardwired connection? If so, when it's connected that way, can you press the home button on the iPhone to engage Siri and, if so, can she "hear" you?

Hey Jakester

1. Bluetooth artwork streaming is inconsistent. Yes via apple music, sometimes via spotify/rdio.
2. Hardwired connection is better quality than bluetooth. As per my other thread, you can push the home button on Siri when connected via bluetooth OR hardwired and she can't hear you unless you simultaneously press the "speak" button on the steering wheel. Siri will "hear" you, but so will the MMI. So you will then have to say "cancel" to the MMI once Siri has picked up your commands

Many thanks for all the helpful replies. One last question, is the A3 E-Tron MMI identical to any other Audi vehicles? I'm wondering if I could go to an Audi dealership and sit down, for example, at a regular 2015 A3 and see exactly the same experience (aside, of course, from the screens about which Hybrid mode to be in and stuff like that) I'll be getting in the E-Tron

Not sure about that, my guess would be: yes identical
