Default Will be picking up new S8+ on Wed . . .

Any VAG-COM settings that the community has found useful that I should have the dealer take care of while I'm there? Any other heads-up for delivery day? Lastly, is there a searchable PDF of the owner's and MMI manuals? I found a PDF version that is a low resolution graphic that isn't searchable. Thx.

Please see the link in my signature for a great number of the available modifications and associated instructions. The tool to perform them and diagnostics yourself cost $199 from Rosstech.

Yeah, I'm psyched. But it will be a couple of weeks before I can get it into my clear bra, paint correction guy, so the real driving will have to wait a bit.

TW, thanks for link to Audi Manual. Anyway to create a PDF in case I need to access offline? Also, MP4, I don't see where the MMI manual is available; only the Owner's Manual shows up when I enter my VIN.

I tried a VIN for a car I was interested in on an iPad and I had to rotate to landscaped to get the hyperlinks to display. Maybe try another S8 VIN to get the MMI manual.

Sweet baby Jesus, I love the new S8+!!!

Audirb, I am experiencing vicarious excitement over your S8+ purchase. Your posts over the last couple of weeks generated comments from S8 owners that got me back on track insofar as moving forward with my S8+ purchase, which should arrive in a couple of months. Like you, I will be moving from a SWB D3, so I will be paying particular attention to your feedback. Mike

I will keep you and the forum posted Mike. I am trading in today my trusty 2008 SWB A8 which looks just like your pic (dark blue). This forum has been a great source of information; happy to reciprocate.
