Default First time Q7 owner

Hello,
Just purchased my first Audi (Q7) and happy that I did! I'm looking for advice with a few mods, I have a 09 3.6 Premium Plus and I have seen lot's of posts on converting from my standard halogens to the xenon with LED but it doesn't sound like it is a plug and play type of install. I am also wondering if I can activate my voice control with Vag and do I need to install any type of hardware modules to do so? Any other cool mods you guys could tell me about would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Voice control should be active already - just press the right hand button on the steering wheel and it should prompt and it does list common commands. My son was trying to get TV and it just kept repeating CD - it's really useful like that!

For nav it works quite well but you have to get used to how to coax it along - speaking quite quickly works but it's no use if the sunroof is open - it just gets everything wrong.
I hardly use it.

halogen to xeonon / led drl conversion for non-adaptive headlights is going to run about $2500 and about $4600 if you have adaptive afs headlights.

Thanks Edd however when I press the voice control it says button inactive. I am guessing I will need to activate it with VAG. If any one has VAG and lives in So California (SD or OC area) let me know. Wow the xenon conversions are pretty expensive ouch!

Default If you don't have navigation like mine - voice is turned off

<<<@!1!@>>>
It will say "voice is in active"
Here is how I turned it on

Cheers,

Louis
