Where did you get the diecast model at the beginning?

I have to be honest, the ACC is pretty amazing as well as the full color HUD. I have my HUD set to show speed only and to turn navigational directions on only when a turn is coming up. Its VERY awesome. My only HUD complaint is that i wish i could project it a little further to the left than it is. I tend to lean my body/head to the right a bit when i drive apparently. Oddly you can nudge the height and angle of the HUD display (but not the horizontal plane).

Also, don't forget the color LED's!

I absolutely NEEDED a prestige for my Allroad and Q7. I knew if I didn't have the features, I would regret it.


Glad I have them

I really enjoyed your review. But I’m not quite clear on something...what REALLY are your thoughts on the wood grain?

Not sure if serious or trolling
I personally don't like it; not just because I feel the 'old school' grain/color go against the otherwise minimalist and modern interior elements, but also because the glossy laquer on top it is an absolute fingerprint and scratch magnet...

I happened to sit in a colleagues brand new Q5 with the open pore grey Oak wood trim. I think it looks/feels much better than the glossy walnut I have.

Glad you found the video useful
