I have been reading this thread with interest since about September last year. I bought an Sq7 from a dealer which wasn’t exactly what I wanted (didn’t have RSE) but they did me a great deal taking that one and then factory ordering a monster spec Vorsprung edition, which I picked up yesterday, which does have RSE (a must for my kids).

In advance of collecting it, I decided after reading all the comments, best bet for video playback would be a Seagate Wireless plus WiFi drive thing. I spend about 3 days figuring out how to download films and get them on to the Seagate drive, and spent about 5 hours trying to get it to work tonight. Here’s what happened;

set first rse tablet up, installed Seagate media app, connected to the wireless drive and hey presto, played the films fine (bit stuttery in places but perfectly watchable).

Set up 2nd rse tablet, every single setting on both tablet and in Seagate media app the same - click on a video and it goes to a strange transfer screen and won’t play any of the films that work fine on the other one, just looks like downloading it.

Installed mx player to see if that solved it (installed it on both as I wanted usability the same) you then have to redownload film and it plays - ballache and still won’t play via Seagate.

Now i have mx player installed in the original one that did work, except now it won’t play in Seagate media app - cue me not being happy bunny.

Transferred all the movies to my Mac, then copied them to an SD card. Put SD card in rse and hey presto, plays straight from the video icon on the Audi splash screen on both with no problems (have an SD card in both with films downloaded to each)

moral of the story, stick films in SD card and seems actually quite a good rse system - would have been better and a damn sight simpler with built in dvd/ blu-ray though!, plus I now have yet another redundant nas drive.

Not sure if anyone else has taken delivery of a vorsprung yet as I know they are pretty new, but my impression after a few days as follows;

interior much nicer with the extended leather and better seats

additonal driver aids are good, surround camera is good but not as good as my 7 series

i had the front and rear dash cam installed - they are cool and dropped my insurance but about 60%!

i have dynamic drive pack on mine - totally different car to my 2017 one. Drives so much nicer

weirdly, other than the V5 and the invoice for the car, there is nothing on the car that tells you it’s a vorsprung - looking at the Configurator, the vorsprung is now the only one you can get 22” wheels on. Stupid really as my 2017 has same wheels as the new one so it’s really hard to know it’s the vorsprung edition.

Went for night vision on it, probably total waste of time but it entertains me and I sort of got it free

also oddly, Audi mis-built the car. Mine came with silver wing mirrors which probably harks back to the old s and rs models. Meant to be body coloured as I went orca black, and you can’t actually spec silver - so not sure what Audi were smoking that day!

overall, love the car (only car I have ever bought twice in a row!) but dynamic drive pack is a must on them if anyone is thinking of getting one.

Also, I know rse gets slated, but if you are happy to download films to SD cards and don’t mind not being able to remote control them - I think they are prettt good. Very stingy though you don’t get headphones - I just had to buy two sets of wireless ones, which wasn’t cheap! 🤦*♂️
