Keep me posted. I did lap timer, euro parking lights, turned off heated seat count down timer from 3 to 2 to 1, turned on needle sweep, made LED daytime lights a bit brighter, turned on rear LED lights with daylights, made heated steering wheel warmer to 38 celsius. So effortless to do on the Audi. I had such frustrating time doing this on my BMWs in the past.

Yeah, upon research I came to learn the same. Does Carista offer a breakdown of the different applications it offers for the C7 platform? I'm personally not very familiar with all changes that can be done with the manipulation of VCDS or Vag codes

So I am just coming out of a BMW 4 series and have to say I am a little disappointed in Audi technology in comparison. The HUD lacking the posted speed limit, the outside cameras are not nearly as crisp as the BMW's and the navigation display is not as attractive unless you turn on Google Maps.
What strikes me as odd is that the BMW was about $22k less than the A7. Just was not expecting to go backwards on the technology aspect.

I test drove one the other day. They make a good point, but I'm pretty sure I would get use to it very quickly.
In general, the Audi HUD is dissapointing how little it shows. And the distance to turn "bar graph" is pathetic.

It's great and easy for disabling the start/stop though

Could not agree more. It is disappointing.
I'm surprised people complained about the speed limit being posted in the BMW forums though. It was so helpful and did not find it distracting at all. I'm sure it saved me a couple of specifying tickets particularly through school zones and other situations were the speed limit suddenly drops.

Several people on the "5" forum are asking if they can turn off the posted limit in the HUD. It's in a white box and is far more prominent than the actual speed, and to some distracting.

I can answer the question on Carista. No! It shows a lot of options that have nothing to do with the A7 and it does not differentiate. In fact, I had to contact them to figure out how to program the windows and sunroof to raise and lower with the FOB. there are so many options and I tried many combinations and finally gave up and e-mailed them.

No..you need to retrofit your tailights with new taillights with new dynamic turn modules.
Dynamic turn signals for the headlights are only available if you have the Matrix LED headlights.
Don't believe anyone in the USA has attempted to retrofit their headlights to Matrix LED yet. Its alot of $$$ and coding for the Matrix headlight retrofit.
See Alex of Europrice for parts.
