    Hi,

    Going to France on Friday for the weekend. Do you still need the stick on light beam deflectors or is there a digital setting for the LED headlights?

    Thanks

    Pretty sure it does it automatically? I seem to remember a lot of the speed sign stuff also flicks over such as showing different speed limits in the wet and dry in France.

    Hi yes it is automatic and srbsq7 is right the signs adjust to the French roads. Whilst on France does anyone have experience of using the toll tags. It would appear the screen doesn’t let the signal through we had to hold the tag out of the window to make it work. Would be interested to see if anyone has any other experiences. Thanks

    Hi Clem, do you have the heat and sound insulating windshield? I believe that can cause issues.

    I have it but the only problem I’ve had was when trying to put a polarised filter on the dashcam.

    Hi, I have the heated screen which I guess may cause the problem. Would prefer the Mrs to stay asleep rather than wave the tag every now and again!!!!

    It should have: "Also includes a clear area in the upper section of the driver’s side windscreen for toll road pass tags."

    I had a look at the Audi configurater and it would appear I have the heated glass option which says ‘Does not include clear section for toll passes’ very strange. New buyers beware
