Recently bought Audi Q7 2011, some technical questions, pls help.
Hi all,
I just bought a Audi Q7 2011 MY11 model with 100K on odo. we did a 1000km drive on the day itself we bought and we are very much like how it drives. Big car with nice handling and power. Though i found a few problems.
1. I cant seem to be activate the front parking sensors to work automatically. Every time i am parking in my garage i have to press the parking button in the dash in order to get the front sensors to activate. Is there an auto option to enable the front and park sensors work always, this is one with with reverse camera.
2. How to enable the center lock(activate all door locks while the car is moving) and window locks. I am afraid without this my 3yr old kid will open the door while moving.
3. is there a switch to open the rear sunroof blind? I can see a switch in the rear just infront of the rear sunroof but its not doing anything while i press. also with the switch in the front i can only open the rear sunroof, cant move the blinds automatically. Front/main sunroof working fine.
I have changed the door lights to shadow projector lights and it looks so cool. I have bought the below item and its delivered in a week

My 2007's have child lock buttons on the driver door switch bank (otherwise, two door handle pulls will unlock the door if it is like my older Audis have been, never tried it in the Q7s). Also, there is a central locking option I believe under the car/setup menu on MMI.

1. Do you mean when pulling into your garage front first? And in this case you want the sensors to work automatically? So, they would also go off every time you pulled up behind a car at a red light or stop sign?
2. In the MMI.
3. Above 3rd row? No--it's manual only.

2. I will check that tonight.
3. Yes 3rd row, thought its automatic as i can see a switch above the second row seats just infront of that sunroof. it looks same as the one in the front buttons.

Front Parking Sensors-You have to manually activate them. Only the reverse gear position activates all round park sensors & rear cam. For forward motion, need to press the button. I'm not sure if left off, they passively monitor if you drive very dead close to somethng, will get someone go near the front ones to try.

Just like to share my experience on LED lighting for my Audi Q7 2013. So many members have guided me here on all kinds of matters, I'd like to impart back my experience.
Front and Rear Lighting-More often than not any conversion to LED will trigger Canbus errors.
Tested the below H11 LEDs, don't waste your time & money. With or without the error-free resistors.
LED Bulb & Canbus error-free resistor connector. Don't waste your effort. Canbus error stays
I resorted to getting some blue tinted "white light" halogen bulbs. They gave a much whiter shade to those yellow fog lights. All in all, the Audi system is notorious for zealous reporting of canbus errors. Use of LED for external lights have not been fruitful.
Blue tinted H11 halogen bulbs. Good result

The child locks only affect the back doors and windows. One switch does the driver side door and window, the other switch does the passenger side door and window. It disables the interior door handle and that specific door window switch. Trust me, they work, it annoys my 6 year old daughter to no end "uuuugggh, Dad, can you roll my window down please?"
