So I was on the Audi USA site seeing if the new 2016 was listed, but nothing yet. Seeing a bunch of Premium Plus pre-owned cars also for pretty cheap!
Hill Hold Assist
Didn't understand why some European cars had the extra switch but the US cars had the blank. Well looks like if you are on a hill and put the parking brake on, this acts like the same thing (granted doors are closed/locked and seat belt is on). If car is in drive and you press on the accelerator, it will automatically disengage the parking brake. Live in Hilly SF and this def comes in handy on some of the crazy steep "mountains".

Tried enabling this morning and could not get it to work either. @116crew do you have a Premium car? I have a very early edition 2015 Premium and I'm wondering if the mirror control module is different as I read a few post somewhere about some people getting VCD to work and others not.

Funny. I learn about these sorts of features when I buy the car...either from the sales person OR I RTFM!!!!!
Seriously. Crazy to me to buy a $40k thing and not take the time to check out all the features in the manual!

The mirror tilt worked for me. A3 P+ w/ Convenience
I tried to initiate the Hold Assist using the E-Parking Break while in Drive but it didn't turn on. I guess I have to be on a hill.
I thought Hold Assist also worked when you at a complete stop and was a way to not have to keep your foot on the brakes when you're at a long Stop-light, or at a Drive-Thru?
