Default Parking sensors, built in handsfree and air con malfunction...help!

I'm hoping to steal abit of someones hard earned knowledge, your pearls of wisdom have always been so helpful in the past.

I've been contemplating upgrading my a6 for a slightly newer model, she heard me and is pissed. In the past two days my rear parking assistance has packed up, I'm not getting a tiny little blip out of it let alone the angry foghorn noise that I used to curse. My in-car connected handsfree no longer works, not even registering power, and my air con will blow ice cold air for 5 minutes followed by 30 mins plus of hot air then will revert back to cold. It was regased last summer (I'm in the UK we had another wet/cold summer so I estimate it's been used 5 times in the last year).

Is this just bad luck or could they all be connected? I'd be greatful of any help or advice!
Thanks

Default No they are not all connected, and...

if the fuse went for the parking assistance, you would see that lighting in your instrument cluster and climate control are not on as well (and also the lighting for auto tranny indicator if you have a tip).

The factory car telephone is on that fuse circuit though, but I can't tell you where your hands free was wired to.

Check your fuse block for a seperate fuse for that.
