Audi UTR

[muumipeikko]

Mine was installed today and early impressions are good. The install was done very well and looks real neat and looks like it was always part of the car.
Video image is good and the app easy enough to use.

Their is just one thing which let's it down and that's the wan connection. As you will all know the q7 has it's own wan which you need your phone to connect to to use the mmi app and things like Napster so it seems a strange decision that the utr has its own especially as most phones can only.connect to one wan at a time so connect to the utr and you lose all the stuff the mmi app gives you...
I can see it meaning I wont check it that much as its now a pain to disconnect from one wan tonconnect to another then connect back....
cost wise 590 installed from memory.

Would love to see some install pics if possible?

The Audi dashcam appears to be a rebadged offering, hence why you need to connect to its Wi-Fi as you would with Thinkware, blackvue etc. It won’t be long I suspect before properly integrated solutions are factory fitted options.

Anybody got one yet? Any thoughts on initial use? They must be popular because all dealers near me are out of stock - but it would be nice to hear a forum user review before going in for the plunge.

Here are some pics of my install. The wires are really well hidden.

The good thing about it is it's a complete install with no wires hanging out... The bad thing is it's not very well intergrated to the car itself and their is so much faffing around to download videos (disconnect from car network, connect to UTR...) that I haven't bothered download anything.
The crazy thing is they know the car has a network and had the UTR connected to that as a client (rather than create it's own) and you been able to view the videos on the MMI this would have been the perfect system!

Ironically it a £600 purchase I hope I'll never need but if you live in London you kind of need one...

Thanks for the review. I really like the thought of the OEM style install, but the missed opportunity to integrate it into the car tech is frustrating.

What car do you have? I was thinking about it for my new Q5 but thought it integrated / sat closer to the rear view mirror or did you choose to have it situated there?

I've got a a Q7, that was just the place the installed put it. I though it would sit below the rear view mirror as that's how the pic's looked but I guess it it had been it would be a bit distracting. As it is, you don't se the camera as it's out of normal viewing focus

I never got it in the end, dealer useless, the day I took my car in (for service as well) they told me they couldn't do the UTR as they hadn't got the parts yet and they were on back order. Was told they would call me when part came in, but haven't heard from them since and if they call now, I think I'll give it a miss.
