Hidden Features & Nuisances
Just wanted to share some things I observed:
* A7 seems to have Hill-Hold assist. I was driving and noticed I couldn't press the brakes because the brake pressure seemed to be used up. When I tapped accelerator pedal, the brakes released by themselves! Seems like hill-hold feature to me except that its automatic.
* Seems like Gas door release locks by itself, and unlocks certain times. I almost thought it sucked that you couldn't lock it since people can steal gas otherwise.
* One time I didn't have any reception, and after 10-15 minutes or so, MMI screen rolled back and I got a message "Operation not possible, MMI is switched off"... songs were still playing though. Seems like a Bug with MMI.
Anyone else want to share cool little feature or annoyance bugs?

I believe that the fuel filler door locks when the car doors are locked and unlocks when the doors are unlocked.
My pet peeve is that if you have the car in reverse and open the driver's door, the parking brake engages. I do that all the time when looking for the painted lines in my parking garage. Kind of annoying.

The only minor nuisance I can think of off the top of my head is the inability to turn the radio off. It's pretty much a habit now, but having to switch to an empty media slot to "turn the radio off" before I park the car for the night is a little annoying.
First world problems, I know.

Not an issue with the Lexus I had. Shouldn't be an issue with the Audi either.
A feature I'm really enjoying is "online destinations". I've used several times now to get me to places I don't have in my contacts & it has worked very well.

I was going to say the same thing, my Lexus had it -- even though it would occasionally go off in slow speed when someone was too close to you, it always was convenient when you were at a stop a pedestrian decided to squeeze through cars that you might not have otherwise noticed.

This issue coupled with the inability to just turn the radio off altogether has resulted in the car scaring the bejesus out of me on more than one morning..
