Moved from 2018 Golf R to a new 2049 SQ5 Premium Daytona Pearl. Loved the Golf R but it was just not big enough. One of the R features I really liked was that it had no moonroof (not available on US Golf R). Iving in Central Florida the last thing I want is more sun. An SQ5 without a moonroof is a little hard to find. My dealer, Audi South in Orlando, had 75 Q5's and 10 SQ5's in stock. Of those they had 1 white Q5 and 1 Daytona Grey SQ5 without the moonroof. I really wanted the 3.0 V6 so I bought the SQ5. Its a little similar to the 2016 S5 Daytona Grey my wife had until she traded for a 2018 Tango Red TTS.

I have been lurking at Audiworld for a couple of years and found much useful data here. Most recent was a tip on pulling the Side Assist fuse to program the Homelink garage door transmitter.

Here is a cellphone pic:

Have the moonroof ( a sunroof is solid metal, not glass) tinted with 3M Crystalline. Even the "clear" tints block something like 98% of the IR and UV light, so you will get some sunlight but practically ZERO heat through the glass after this. There are a few other less common brands that offer similar materials. With Crystalline, the interior of my moonroof is actually cool to the touch.

No moonroof to tint in my SQ5. Mine has no moonroof, kind of a unicorn : )

Other things I don’t have to worry about are moonroof leaks, squeaks and mechanical failures. I had 2014 VW GLI with a moonroof that developed a problem closing.
