Now, that's German technology at its best lol
I hear you on how annoying some things that operate randomly can be. Luckily, mine works fine

Thanks for re-posting this video. After not having much success initially, I honed my technique after seeing on the B9 A4 forum (I think that's where it was).

Perhaps your car has a bad sensor and needs to be replaced.

2019 A6

It looks and is awesome. Check out the You tube videos. Leaps ahead of the competition in my view. But fake exhausts...? Give me a break. A detail not determined by the Engineers I'm sure. Fortunately I take delivery of a 2018 Avant biturbo diesel shortly (which has real exhausts but fake exhaust sound - albeit a nice one). Give me a milltek exhaust any day which is on my chipped A4 3.0 turbo diesel avant and it sounds awesome - and goes like it sounds.

1. I like the virtual dash
2. I would kill for a diesel here in the US... heck 40-42mpg? longevity, cost of fuel vs hi test...

I may have to go over to Germany and drive/buy ship here if they are not importing the diesel...
