Default Audi Canada attitude!!

After getting the run around from Audi Canada and my dealer regarding the release of a navigation Cd for the Calgary area, I once again tried to drop off a line at the audicanada website, and guess what, their email doesn't work!!

Here's the deal: the Calgary market, according to the dealer is the biggest for Audi by far in Canada, but since our population has not yet reached the million mark, we will not get a nav cd in the forseeable future. (Audi Canada refered me to the dealer for updated information when I contacted them last time).

So we are expected to pay for the nav system, and unless you live in greater Vancouver or metro Toronto (with significantly fewer Audi sales than Calgary,) you won't get a friggin CD!! Give me a break. Such marketing "stratagies" seem to come straight out of the Moscow school of Economics, or as suggested above, "ATTITUDE".

Default simpler answer

If Audi's Nav CD changer is made by Bluapunkt (I believe it is)

and Blaupunkt nakes the CD's for BMW, MBZ and Porsche


whey not just get one from the other guys?

I seriously doubt, blaupunkt went to the trouble
of making 4 different proprietary codes, for the same nav system

check it out

Default I'd be very surprised if Calgary was the biggest Audi market in Canada...

Dealers lie.

Sucks about your nav CD though; small cities always seem to get the shaft.
