Default CNET Review of A7

Good review. I'm big on the tech so this is right up my alley.

At about 7 minute mark you will see big reflection of beige trunk cover/rear shelf in rear-view window as you drive in and out of shaded areas. This brought no complaints from Reviewer!
I believe darker grey might be better but owners may need to consider black throw material to control reflection.

Good point. That is why I ordered the optional dark head liner and hope that it means the hatch cover will be dark also. If not, it should be easy enough to cover the two small removable pieces with black upholstery. Still, a miss by Audi. Live Google MAPs and the touchpad data entry are in a whole new class of automotive features. A big Audi homerun.

That MMI is so far ahead of the current one, it's not even funny.

Default No bluetooth streaming but WiFi can do it?

Wonder how to stream audio from the phone to the A7 via WiFi connection that they mention on this CNET video, starts about 22 minutes in?
