    My September 2011 registered C7 A6 with bog standard SD card based low-res small screen MMI nav..... has full 7 digit postcode search. I wasn't expecting this. The brochure only lists 7 digit postcodes as a feature of the MMI High option.

    Am I just lucky ?

    Just checked the April 2012 brochure which does indeed say that. The April 2011 brochure, which I think was current when my car was built, doesn't mention it, so I was pleasantly surprised to get it. It was the only reason I had considered looking for a car with tech pack....

    Maybe they're including this to compensate for the issues with the iPhone rSAP/MMI/Google

    Nope - not at all. Everything works fine unless you want to use online services. If you just want your iPhone to be a phone and iPod, everything works swimmingly. If you want to use google earth maps and online traffic and allow connected wifi devices to access the internet, you either need to put your iPhone sim into the dash, or put a different sim into the dash and set your iPhone to forward calls to this.

    ...or pop the sim out of the dashboard and re-pair your iPhone via HFP to make the outgoing call.

    Must admit all that switching your sim advice fills me with dread.... Real pain to take your SIM in and out of an iPhone. Guess it just depends upon what you want...I like the gadgets but only the tried and tested stuff that gives me the convenience and ease of going from office to car to home to car etc with all the gadgetry talking to each other effectively.... Which for me it does; the mystery worlds of rSAP and other things mentioned makes me think it's just all a little too ambitious and over geeky before the technology is tried trusted and reliable
