So I thought the only area that Audi had rolled out it's V2I service was Las Vegas, but the other day here in Frisco, TX, just north of Dallas, I've come across a couple of signals that trigger the traffic light countdown display in the car. The only issue I'm seeing is the display counts down to zero, then disappears, but it is still a good 30-45 seconds until the signal actually changes to green. Still it was a pleasant surprise to see it working here. I know Audi has expansion plans to other cities, but I hear it will be a challenge, as Vegas has one commission managing the city's transit infrastructure, and most other U.S. cities have multiple commissions and is more fragmented.

Curious to know if anyone else in the DFW area has had any experiences with the signal countdown display.

What is this feature? Part of DAP? What is the purpose? Thanks

I'm not seeing which package it's included with, but it's definitely there, and described in p. 191 in the manual. It gives you a speed recommendation at which to drive through the next green light and also displays the wait time at a red light.

I have the Premium Plus with DAP and Vision.

Very Cool! Another distraction, or way to not be alert...

I was shocked to see it, and it certainly distracted my stress for waiting at a light (which I didn't think I had...but apparently I was less stressed with that countdown!) Really cool to see that countdown!

Yup very cool indeed. Now they need to show the count down all the way to 3..2..1.. GO! and hook it up with launch control lol

Is there a site that has a list of cities with this?

Or play the old Pole Position sound effects!
