Default Cruse control

Does any one know if the cruse can be set to change in 1mph increments. This is my 3rd audi and they all used to do this. I can't stand when I want to increase speed a little I have to do it 2.5mph increments.

The regular cruise control still allows 1 mph adjustments. The adaptive cruise control only allows adjustments in 2.5 mph increments. Have no idea why.

You can manually reset the speed at any MPH but can't bump it up one MPH. I wish there was an override fo the ACC, sometimes its frustrating and more work to keep smooth than it should be

when I go in for my 35,000 service I'm going to ask if this can be changed in the software.

I always just bump it 2.5mph and then as soon as changes 1mph hit the set button on the end and it will set at the in between speed.

With ACC the granularity is probably less critical as the system will not allow the car to go faster when it's tracking a car in front.

Why 1 mph? Speed limits are rounded to the next 5 or 10. With regular CC it makes sense to have a 1 mph adjustment so you can avoid running into the car ahead of you, but as snagit said, with ACC it's automatically following the car ahead anyway, so just set it to the speed limit or a comfortable 5 or 10 over depending on the constables in your area and then leave it do its thing.

I would assume the original poster is like me and feels comfortable at about 6-7 miles over speed limit without getting a ticket. I don't want to go 5 miles over and I don't want to go 7.5 miles over.

Example: Speed Limit 55 - I want to go about 61. I set cruise to 62.5 and when my speed gets up to about 61 I hit the button on the end of the stalk and it sets my cruise speed at 61.

Default Both would be better

I have the ACC, and wanted it because of the implied safety, but now that I have it, at times I miss the more traditional Cruise Control. I find it annoying when it slows down for events that I can see are ok, such as people passing and then cutting in but still going faster. For me the ideal would be ACC that can be switched to regular mode.
