What years and models of Audi sedans have the folding navigational screen?

DB22

Lots of models and years, particularly in different parts of the world. Hope this helps.

You forgot to mention that the cars with this feature also came in lots of colors. LOL

At the risk of high-jacking this thread, I hope Audi continues the folding NAV screen with the C8 redesign. I am sick of looking at all the new cars with these dumb looking tablet-like things jutting out of the dashboard. Every passenger I have had in my C7 A6's makes a positive comment about the retracting/folding NAV screen - it is classy.

DB22

the only value left in this thread would be to hijack it!
So, I agree the tablet glued on the dash is not very elegant but the only time mine is not up is when I'm not in the car. If I'm not in the car then it doesn't matter.

In addition to TDI, I chose the A6 over competitors as I did not want any such dash distraction, and always close it after starting the car. Someone in the A8 forum described where to cut power (under passenger feet area) so as to keep open all the time (and inserted in-line switch). One day when I have some time , I will cut so as to keep retracted.

With all the admonishments to refrain from texting etc, why iPads on the dash are allowed is beyond me.....to each their own...

I just had a 2017 A3 loaner, felt like driving a go kart, and the nav was that stupid tablet looking kinda shape but it could be retracted into the dash, it didn't fold like my C7 but just went up and down

In NJ, the bureaucrats made up this thing, #77. Using that, you're supposed to report aggressive, or distracted, driving.

The thing is, I drive aggressively, to get away from morons who are distracted.

The other thing is, this is rather arbitrary. Who is doing the reporting? Doesn't reporting this, by necessity require the driver reporting it to be distracted?

Stupidity.

BMW arguably does the best job of integrating the screen into the dash. Their screens being rectangular can be recessed into the dash vs. just sticking up.

I'm fine with our retracting screen in the A6, it does have a certain cool factor, but as mentioned it's up all of the time that I'm in the car so it wouldn't be a big deal if it was up all of the time.

For me I would give up the cool factor for a fixed screen for the lack of complexity it would have. Less prone to problems.
