Default Retrofit remote auxiliary heating

Hi All,

I've purchased a used Q5 (2017 67 plate but registered in Jan 2018) from an official audi dealership this week.

The original vehicle owner doesn't seem to have purchased the remote heating feature from MyAudi app however I would like to add this.

Contacted Audi customer services, they checked my VIN and told me the hardware wasn't fitted with the vehicle. However, I can get remote lock/unlock through MyAudi app so I can't see why my vehicle shouldn't be capable of turning on remote heating when the remote connection has already been established. Surely its just a software tweak no?

Any help would be much appreciated.

N.B.: Side question, how do I get the car to beep or make a sound when I press the lock button on my key? My E class I've just returned used to have this and I appreciated the auditory confirmation of vehicle being locked.

Sorry if these have already been answered, or if I sound naive, first time an Audi owner (always switched between BMW and Merc) and glad I finally made the jump
