2012 A6 Mud Guard question
Hello
Anyone know if I can add mud guards on a 2012 A6 Prestige with 18 inch sports package. I didn't add intially because i thought the car was a bit low.
Also on the MMI system is it possible to add a wifi SD card and be able to transfer music wirelessly from computer to car?
thanks in advance

Good question about the wifi SDs. I have never used one, but I believe they are used mostly for cameras (correct me if I'm wrong) and I think they mostly transmit data? (like to a PC after pics are taken.) So not sure if you can send data to it unless it's connected physically to the device. Would be a cool idea. In theory if you can save things to the card wireless, the Audi should pick that new data up on the card at next startup.

That was me. I tried to have the dealer install just after delivery. 2 attempts each time with different part #'s and I was told the Prestige S-line trim was not compatibile with the splash guards - not sure why. I haven't pursued it since.

I too went this route with the dealer (they use so much sand on the roads in the winter up here). 2 different part numbers, neither of which fit the S-line trim.

There's plenty of universal mud flaps that can be trimmed to fit. The other option is to have some of that paint shield media installed behind the wheels.

I wonder if there is a work around or maybe an aftermarket that would fit. When i look at my car it just seems odd without it. can you tell me what aspect of the mudguard didn't fit? can it be modified? Was it too low?

Like tenspeed said, the paint shield media installed behind the wheels is an option, but it would mean removing the small sections placed there by the factory.
I would hope that Audi would see some interest in them for our s-line models, and make ones that'll fit.
