You are right, the Mirror Dip and Power gauge are not that complex, but I had more digging to do on the Google Maps / Street view with Sim Card.

First thing, you will see that in 2017 AUDI S3, even if you have the sim card, AUDI hasn't connected the LTE antenna the roof top antenna. That means the first reason why nobody can make it work is that they have no network connectivity. If you are next to a cell tower !00meters, it will work. I had to buy and modify an LTE antenna and plug it into the back of the MMI unit in the right plug. Then, after getting the right coding, I had connectivity !!! It looks more complicated than it is really.
How about traffic sign recognition?

Boniclass, I'd love to know how you did the antenna. How did you remove the MMI unit, and get the right coding?

Congrats on the new car and the successful mods! I have a few followup questions on your success:
  • Do you have the B&O system installed for the base gain enable? Would you have an image of the MMI with this? If yes to both was this also OBD11?
  • For traffic sign, does it tell you which models need this for coding? I would assume cluster and the camera to activate? I tried with just the cluster and got the option to show but error message instead of a street sign.
  • Also, could you elaborate a bit more on the street view / connectivity? Are you referring to the lag of LTE connection at start? Street view is normally enabled as standard? What other view have you achieved?

Thanks for helping us all out!

Given all the potential mods discussed here, can Traffic Jam Assist be enabled for 2017 S3?
