Some of these features were on 2018 models, not to mention other 2019s.

The Virtual Cockpit is also under leveraged. How about a set of "classic audi gauge" layouts, or offer some futuristic layouts like K.I.T. (knight rider)! LOL Even the ability to set some of items to bars instead of circles would be nice. Graph power, boost, torque over time. Integrate them into the sport tach so the right/left can be other items.

Even stacking the tach/speedo on the far left, providing a larger space for CarPlay

Do you all get this message?

It's a difficult process and I believe the service which includes the google maps view is only free for 6 months. The remote door lock will still not be enabled but it would be interesting to see what else will be. I gave up on mine as I figured it out after 6 months and was not willing to pay extra.

The key-user is what would enable remote lock/unlock, geofencing, valet, carfinder, traffic light info, stolen car, and so on.

We get the maps, fuel pricings, twitter, flight info, news, and destination entry.
