VAG needle sweep on start...
Not sure i saw this posted (if i missed it.. sorry) but i enabled the needle sweep from the S5 on the Q7... love it! Not sure why Audi didn't ship it this way! Just adds to the overall feel then you push the start button and the tach and speedo sweep. It's funny.. Pontiac did this on their cars and i thought it was LAME... funny how i like it on the Audi!
I also set the seatbelt warning to the EU setting... not sure how different it is from the US setting.. but i am sure it's less "nagging"

Yep I did both of those too. The seatbelt doesn't nag at all... Quiet like it should be
Love the needle sweep... I thought it was just me but ive had a few passengers notice and comment how cool that was... Right before telling me what a dork i am for hacking the car to do that.

In EU setting the seatbelt warning sound stops after about one km drive.

Would you please post up the settings for the needle sweep that you did. I have looked numerous times but have been unable to figure it out. I was always under the impression it was an EU model only mod.
