Default I have some issues

But, don’t we all? Lol. Nothing a little counseling won’t help!

’08 A8 214,000 miles has the following problems-

check engine light on- my obd2 won’t connect, nor will the shop up the streets (he got from snap-on). I’m guessing he would need to buy software for his and that mine just doesn’t do Audi.
cruise is janky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Usually doesn’t.
audible warning tones are almost inaudible - can only hear them if there is no other noise, they’re that quiet.
radio doesn’t work (no, I haven’t gotten as far as checking fuses- figured I’d just list everything in case they’re connected)
menu doesn’t work.
Once, when I was poking around on the cruise, a big 0:00 came up in the display where outside temp is. When I say big, I mean font. When I shut the ignition off and restarted, it was gone..
When the dash isn’t warmed up, odometer, etc are easy to read, but when it warms up, a lot of the leds dim. I assume that’s an age issue.
this is was a hand me up from my kid when he moved, for me to sell. Granted, it’s an “old” car, but I absolutely love it. If it only had Bluetooth... This thing has more features than a movie theater. It’s quiet, and a VERY comfortable ride. I think I’ll keep it... especially since I’m not spending $100k on a new one. Lol

thanks

You've posted in the "D2 Audi A8 and S8 produced from 1994-2002" forum so maybe repost in the D3 forum first.

Oops- it’s a 2000. My LR and Jetta are 08. I’ll have to see if I can edit that. Thanks!
