Questions from an Audi newbie
Hi all, I am interested in purchasing an Audi A6, but wanted to confirm a couple of things before taking the plunge, so hopefully someone here can help me answer a few questions I may have:
1. Is there a big difference between front wheel drive and all-wheel drive? 2. Can the MMI system display other languages like Chinese or Korean when I connect my iphone to it via Bluetooth? I don’t need the menus to be in Chinese or Korean, I just want to know if they can display the song names and stuff in Chinese or Korean. Much appreciated! Thank you! |

1) You won't find too many FWD A6s out there, and Audi is all about quattro AWD, so that's what most would suggest that you purchase. Also, some of the FWD A6s came with a CVT that proved quite unreliable, so stay FAR away from those...
2) No idea, sorry... As for question #2... again, I just need to know if the system can display Chinese or Korean.. I don't need the entire system menu changed to a Chinese or Korean... Thanks! |

At least on my US-spec car, Chinese & Korean character sets don't appear to be supported. Bummer! Attachment 103210 |

I can't speak for newer hardware versions of the C7 MMI, but I went out and did the experiment in my 2013 S6 which has been updated to the latest MMI firmware (0925).

But man, that's a huge bummer for me, because that's something that really bothered me with the cars I've been driving...... This is actually big enough for me to start re-evaluating getting an A6 altogether..... /___\ |

You could also ask Audi/dealer/ take an SD card down to a dealership and try it in the car. The new A4 (B9 platform) does what you want: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-...ystem-2905584/ As will the Q7. |

You should also post in the A6 (C7 Platform forum) as there are more users who will have the latest MMI version (I don't in my A7), in case this version can accommodate your needs.
