    I only bought our Q7 2 weeks ago as a showroom demo, it is a 16 plate which had been there 2 weeks. It's Mica Blue in Colour (you may have guessed that!)

    I was under the impression that the new ones had Apple Car Play but mine doesn't. We have the Technology Pack, am I missing something? Did we conclude as to whether this could be added with a software update?

    Shouldn't a brand new one have it built in though ? When was it released?

    Not if that car is a MY16 build. Not 100% sure but I think only cars built after about week 28 are MY17 cars which include the smartphone interface as standard. It was an option before, so possibly not ticked on that build.

    I think MY17 was from week 22 or 23 as the change over wasn't long after my week 18 build.

    Thakey's right though, it was a £350 option in MY16.

    Mica - something doesn't stack up for me with the age of the car from what you've said. If you purchased it mid-August, I would have expected a late May MY16 build to have been delivered by the middle of June, so it must have been within Audi UK for a couple of months?

    Bit misleading on their part to say they've only had it 2 weeks....

    You should also know that there was a £700 price increase for MY17. Some of this you could offset with the inclusion of CarPlay, but if I was you, I would want to check that the dealer wasn't passing on this increase on an MY16 build. Was the car pre-reg or sold as new/ un registered?

    Pother than checking vin and build date etc, I guess the easiest way to check would be to see if there is an SOS button?

    There is no SOS button. Found out today it was a week 27 build and that dealer had it in the showroom for 2 weeks but had it within the group for longer. bummer. I asked about upgrading the software to include it but apparently it's not that easy. It requires the built in sim card bit of hardware that goes in the boot. (no idea why)

    That's a bit cheeky of the dealer. Would kick up a bit of a fuss and then leverage it later on when u really need something done to the car

    Hi Mica, that's annoying. Perhaps others can confirm but I thought MY17 started from the beginning of June and build week 27 would be 4th July?

    Either way, it's an option you can work around with other functions in the car.

    My17 was build week 28 so I think u missed it by one week. At the moment still playing around with car play but As srbs says you can work around it.
