WiZe1972 Sono quasi 3 anni che ti segue e vengo a scoprire solamente ora (pochi giorni fa) che sei Italiano! fantastico!!! l ho sempre pensato che lo fossi, ma scoprirlo è stata una sorpresa! ti stimo molto wize, un saluto da Cremona 😉
Wize1972, VERY good demo of the virtual cockpit. I just bought a 2020 Q3 with the sports option, and to be honest, the user manual is extremely difficult to follow. Thank God for videos like your's. In the 17 minutes of your demo I understand more than in the 2 days I've spent trying to decipher the user manual. BTW, when you're in the virtual cockpit, you have stage 2 of the car battery activated. If you're on for 17 minutes, does this not wear down the battery?
I get my new A3 next week, (8th June), and because of Covid, I haven’t had a chance to sit in it, in fact I haven’t even seen it. I thought I was going to find it very difficult getting used to the Virtual Cockpit, but you video has helped me a LOT. I will feel a lot more comfortable collecting it now. That you for taking the time to upload such a useful guide.
Great tutorial. Thank you. Audi's UI is now the best in the industry. Mercedes and BMW will have to copy some of the features of the info display to match it. Cheers.
All those pretty virtual buttons look great but as anyone living in climates with cold winters knows, they are impossible to use with gloves or non conductive touch like if you used a pen tip, finger nail, or hook/prosthetic limb. Before my fellow trolls argue this. My second point, and the main drawback in my opinion to digital, flat, non-tactile controls is the same as the comparison of trying to text message with a smart phone compared to to the previous, older model - flip (aka clamshell or dumb) phones - you can't do it solely by touch. It requires touch PLUS your visual attention. This is why so many states banned texting while driving. Unlike adjusting your car's radio station simply by turning a dial, with a digital ("smart touch") interface lacking dedicated analog buttons, you are forced to look away from the road aa you toggle thru menus (climate control, trip computer, settings menu. Until you get to radio and then instead of twisting a dial by touch alone, now you have to LOOK at the screen EVERY time you need to adjust something. Boo. Boo Wendy Testaburger. BOO.
This was very informative! I've been thinking about an S8 for my next car, and one of the biggest draws for me is the Virtual Cockpit and all of the assistance features that are integrated into it. Your tutorial was perfect - you went through every option and explained them at just the right level of detail. I only wish you had talked a bit about the street sign recognition and assistance features - I haven't seen a good review like yours on those topics yet. Thanks for uploading!
Very informative, thanks! I was surprised the volume control is no longer on the left side of the steering wheel as I'm used to with any Volkswagen group car I owned (Golf 6 GTD 2009, Touareg 2010, Skoda Rapid and Octavia). Now I also know I need this display in my future RS3 ;)
just got my A4 this week and want to thank you for such a detailed tutorial of the virtual cockpit. One little note. I feel the car data tab and the maps tab are the best used for the cockpit and unfortunately they are on the far left and right. I've found to switch from the car data tab to the maps tab quickly just hit the left button and it wraps around to the right side onto the maps tab instead of clicking three times to the right.
David Bias Oh didn't k ow that trick, thanks! It is also a shame that the system doesn't remember the last chosen tab, meaning that if I leave the car with the VC on map mode, it will be back on car mode when I return to the car...
I really like the Virtual Cockpit of Audi. I have heard thousand of times that people don't like the Virtual Cockpit because it's to difficult to understand how it works. But for me it's no problem, and once you know how it works than it's really easy to use it. What me disappoints is that, as you showed, always the same car their is shown and not the spec of your car. At 8:00 you didn't know what Unavailable meant, I think that that was the CD player but I'm not sure. My favorite mode is the map in the middle of the Virtual Cockpit. But I also liked the mode at 12:27 You explained the Virtual Cockpit better than I could ever do xD Awesome video ;)
Ya I noticed the same thing. You'd think with all the technology in the Virtual Cockpit, they could have bothered to take a picture of each color/model combo so your actual car was listed in the VC. Oh well. It's still a sweet feature though. I didn't think I'd like it, but it took about 5 minutes before I never wanted to be without it again. lol.
Dankeschön very helpfull ! :) Would you say it's more helpful as a driver to have the GPS/Map dircetly on the cockpit. Do you get lost less since you have the car at stranger places?
Hi Wize! Great review! May I ask you a technical detail if you have noticed it? When my zoom is at the lowest level (30m) during navigation it happens sometimes that the blue line representing my path suddenly flickers (for a very little time, almost not noticeable if you don't pay attention). Does it happen to you as well? Thanks :)
@@WiZe1972 the segment of the blue line just ahead of the arrow representing the car disappear for a millisecond, so if is not a major deal. But I was curious to know if this happens to other users
Great review for a great car. My only gripe which isnt specific to just high end model Audi cars but ALL newer cars is about touch screens replacing multiple controls in the center console. Long version of my comment: All those pretty virtual buttons look great but as anyone living in climates with cold winters knows, they are impossible to use with gloves or non conductive touch like if you used a pen tip, finger nail, or hook/prosthetic limb. Before my fellow trolls argue this. My second point, and the main drawback in my opinion to digital, flat, non-tactile controls is the same as the comparison of trying to text message with a smart phone compared to to the previous, older model - flip (aka clamshell or dumb) phones - you can't do it solely by touch.

Baba Yaga yes there is , something that most of people don't tell u in this videos is that google maps only works through subscription in another words u gotta pay for it it's free for 6 months
Thanks for the video. Now just to make sure i got it right. Google maps is used for Navigation as well? Or just for the satellite view? And how does it update? Via internet (connected mobile or SIM card)? Or i must visit the dealer? Thanks again
EZname You get navigation through Google map; on the settings you can choose regular or satellite view. I got updates through the esim card on the car but you can also get them via myaudi.com
depends if where u live they support audi's TLI (traffic light information)..they dont yet where I live.. :( Anyhow, I would get it for the 'resale value' cause people are crazy about VC. I personally dont need google maps and such right in my face... Check it out before you buy, my advise.
this set up looks like i don't need a Audi navigation package if have the standard carplay, but can i still have carplay (google maps) in the cockpit and still entertain other music in the larger mmi?
I have a 2016 Audi A4 with the virtual cockpit and want to know to get google maps to work do I just need to insert a data only sim ? Is it as straight forward as that ? I haven’t tried it as the data only sim isn’t cheap so I didn’t want to buy one to find it doesn’t work like that !
Craig H Don’t know where you live but over here, it comes with an integrated sim and a free data plan for three years. After that period of time, you are requested to pay an annual fee
Hi!A question please, for the music, you use a usb pen drive or a sd card? It's unfortunate that the virtual cockpit don't display the third option, the "race" view. Thank you
Thank you for your answer. I have got one more question. Does it support CarPlay (either cockpit or side screen). In some videos I have seen it does but not sure how to get it.
Is the navigation always there even after Audi connect subscription discontinues? On the same note, the standard Audi connect feature on Q5 technik model, how long does the subscription last? Also, if you use apple carplay, can you direct the map onto the virtual cockpit? Does it still have traffic information after subscription ends?
du michael If I’m not mistaken, after subscription ends, you loose all the “connected” features such traffic, weather, socials, etc. It is not possible to have CarPlay or android auto on the VC
Is this possible to change the value in the centre of the right clock (digital value of speed) from km/h to mph and vice versa? I think about audi a5 (American version but I living in Europe) and there is mph, I want to change it to km/h, is it possible? or I need to change software?
this is by far, the best tutorial on the VC that I have ever seen, so well done!!. I have a question: Am getting a 2018 Q5TFSI quattro with VC next week and I want to know how the navigation will work in the absence in India of Audi Connect. If i don't use apple car play to connect to my iPhone X Google maps, and i use only the inbuilt google maps/google earth in the VC, then how will it work? Will i be able to navigate accurately from point A to Point B? I mean what will i be missing in the absence of Audi connect? Also, can you pls make a video exclusively on using navigation in VC with/without Audi connect so that we understand all the nitty gritties of how to use the nav feature in VC? Am asking because the biggest USP of the VC is the presence of Google Maps/Google Earth/Google Street view, am not aware of any other car manufacturer whose navi system offers google maps so am esp keen to see how this works in real time.
Nilanjan Banerjee Thank you for your kind words. In my understanding, the lack of Audi connect means you loose all the connected features like: Meteo, parking places, flights schedule and Facebook/Twitter integration... If you ask me, useless features on a car with modern smartphones. The only valuable feature you would loose is the Google satellite view when using the navigation. Meaning that you would still have a full navigation but without the satellite view and without real time traffic situation. Note that most of the time I use my smartphone when I need to navigate somewhere, either trough CarPlay or standalone...
many thanks for your clear and concise answer. In any case, if one wants live traffic info, one has to consume data either thru the iPhone or using Audi Connect. However, what i was looking forward to, was using the live real time traffic navigation thru the VC screen which i cant do in absence of Audi connect here. If I use my iPhone thru Apple Car Play, the real time navigation shows up on the MMI screen but not on the VC which is a real pity -:(
The virtual cockpit shows is virtually the same as the analogue cockpit on except the ability to expand the map and shrink the speedometer and tachometer. All the vehicle information and map show in screen between the analogue system. The glare with the virtual cockpit is considerably more even when fully dimmed down. The virtual cockpit is simply a large glaring map. BMW on the otherside, allows for changing the color and information of the speedometer depending on the driving styles. Now that is how you make good use of the virtual cockpit.
I hope I didnt understand that wrong but are you actually having Google Maps being displayed in your virtual cockpit and not the standart Audi navigation map ? Since you get real time updates with google maps and with the audi one you have to pay for that.
Audi uses Google map for their navigation system. The satellite images, real time traffic updates and a few other services requires an annual subscription. At the time I shot this video, Audi would give three years free (At least here in Switzerland) subscription
Can I subscribe again :p? I love your videos. I want to import an audi A4 from Germany or Belgium to Tunisia this year. Options here are a joke.. I hope that goes well. I just wanted to ask how much does the price differ from the Audi website to the dealer? My customization resulted to 51K which is around my budget but I'm afraid that the dealer would charge way more than that!
Are you sure this is google maps running on the active display? On the dealership they told me that only the navigation provided by Audi can be send to be displayed on the active display. Google maps they told me can only be displayed on the 8 inch infotainment screen.
Sorry for the intro issues; This video has been painful to download!

Hey can you do the trim below this because the smaller display can also have navigation
Good review - I wanted to see how the cd player functions are like
Thanksyou , i bought a Q3 2010 . I am 76 an d Youri video helped me verteld well. Greetings from Holland.
jan marsman Thank you for watching and glad it helped. Enjoy your Q3
Thanks Wize. Very helpful video.
Great video! Please make one of the MMI system
Great video thanks for posting.
i somehow deleted my contact directory behind the steering wheel, how do i sinc them again to get them back?
Great walk-through, thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
Hoping to get an A4 Avant Black Edition soon and will definitely go for the virtual cockpit, after seeing this excellent video. Thanks 👍

Nice video, thanks!
Every video should explain things like you did here.
dontbothermewithchannels Thank you very much!!!
7:57 Last one is SiriusXM but its not working in EU, we only use DAB+
thanks for the video! it helped me to go with the VC in my new car.
Glad my video helped you! VC is great and I can't imagine my car without now :-)
Great video, thanks a lot!
Thanks Wize Nice Video. Bit cold though 😀
Nice video !
nicely explained buddy. thanks! waiting for my A4 with VC!
Glad you found it usefull :-)

Would you say it's more helpful as a driver to have the GPS/Map dircetly on the cockpit. Do you get lost less since you have the car at stranger places?
It's much practical and safer in my opinion; you get less distracted
Nice presentation, thank you!

If you don't put navigation system, is it worth to put the virtual cockpit?
I love your accent yay!
Tommy pallie Eheheh thank you, glad you like my franglish accent 😬

Is this the prestige package? The traffic sign reading feature is something I want
Here in Europe we have different package and standalone options
Great video and explanations of the principles. I appreciate it Sir. :-)

Is this a factory cluster or aftermarket, also what year did they start putting this in the audi?
Virtual cockpit is an Audi feature, introduced with the actual Audi TT around 2014
very well done, thx!

Considering getting an A4 Premium Plus in the US for the Virtual Cockpit, but also for some of its other features. Is it worth it?
Mike N Totally! Once you get used to the VC, all cars without a digital dashboard seams outdated (With the exception of older classics) :-)

No, unfortunately you can’t have CarPlay displayed on the virtual cockpit
Best looking cockpit imo. I like BMW’s screen too. But Audi one step ahead.
is the Virtual Cockpit the same as Google Maps where it shows LIVE traffic and can route you around delays when possible?
I noticed on a friends A3 with the virtual cockpit that the check engine light seems to be always on, is that normal or the car has a problem??
Thank you....
Use VC for music and MMI for navigation.
Can it be changed with old model audi. For example audi a7 2015 facelift.?
No way, the all architecture is different
I have a 2016 Audi A4 with the virtual cockpit and want to know to get google maps to work do I just need to insert a data only sim ? Is it as straight forward as that ? I haven’t tried it as the data only sim isn’t cheap so I didn’t want to buy one to find it doesn’t work like that !

C'est une bonne idée, je vais essayer de faire ça :-)
Merci
Is that navy synchronised along with google maps in terms of live traffic and all features included in google maps or just pure maps?
It has traffic through a subscription
Thank you for your answer. I have got one more question. Does it support CarPlay (either cockpit or side screen). In some videos I have seen it does but not sure how to get it.

@@WiZe1972 When you use CarPlay to navigate, can you see the map in the virtual cockpit, or just in the central screen?
@@dipapadi Unfortunately, the virtual display map can’t be used with apple CarPlay or android auto
@@WiZe1972 that sucks. I hear that the BMW virtual display and head up display will or already supports that.
The virtual cockpit shows is virtually the same as the analogue cockpit on except the ability to expand the map and shrink the speedometer and tachometer. All the vehicle information and map show in screen between the analogue system. The glare with the virtual cockpit is considerably more even when fully dimmed down. The virtual cockpit is simply a large glaring map. BMW on the otherside, allows for changing the color and information of the speedometer depending on the driving styles. Now that is how you make good use of the virtual cockpit.
Hamad Saud There's no glare when driving this in daylight with the sun glaring at your eyes. It's so nice
+Hamad Saud I personally find BMW solution awful; the red one if the worst.
Does the car remember your personalised settings when you turn your car off?
Yep!
I hope I didnt understand that wrong but are you actually having Google Maps being displayed in your virtual cockpit and not the standart Audi navigation map ?
Since you get real time updates with google maps and with the audi one you have to pay for that.
Audi uses Google map for their navigation system. The satellite images, real time traffic updates and a few other services requires an annual subscription. At the time I shot this video, Audi would give three years free (At least here in Switzerland) subscription
Can I subscribe again :p? I love your videos. I want to import an audi A4 from Germany or Belgium to Tunisia this year. Options here are a joke.. I hope that goes well. I just wanted to ask how much does the price differ from the Audi website to the dealer? My customization resulted to 51K which is around my budget but I'm afraid that the dealer would charge way more than that!
+AmxCsifier You are welcome to subscribe! You better search the web for importers or contact dealers directly
Are you sure this is google maps running on the active display? On the dealership they told me that only the navigation provided by Audi can be send to be displayed on the active display. Google maps they told me can only be displayed on the 8 inch infotainment screen.
George Mag Watch at 10:52 , you can see the google logo
Is this better than Peugeot 508 gt ...
Thanks dear
Great Video Wize... really informative
Great job with your English. It must've been very difficult.
Bennett lock and key Matt and Jade Thank you! Yep, not easy when you use your third spoken language 😊
WIZ is the brightness of the screen adjustable, in case it is too bright at night.
Hi, yes it is adjustable
What engine is your car 11l fuel consumption driving on 7th gear 😵😵😵
My google map is not clear, it’s blurry please can you explain me how to fix it.
Como se cambia la forma en la que se ve el mapa 3D o satélite o 2D?
