Yeah... it's not exactly what I want....... again.. why couldn't the engineers at Audi figure this out yet...? iPods could display other languages back in 2000, and we can't do this in a car system in 2016??

I'm sure it's in the software somewhere, and is probably only activated if the car is sold into a country with those as the native language...

Another way to look at is is that they program all the cars the same, which means one program, instead of 200 (which is better), then code out the stuff that's not used. That's what's actually occurring here, and it's SOP in the car business.
