A daft one...

Is there a way of altering the temp on both sides of the car at the same time. ie without having to move both knobs. I'm sure there must be, but havent managed to find it yet!!
may be i should just read the manual

Yes, there's a setting on the AMI / MMI on my A4.

Press Car then press the lower right hand side MMI button (shown as AC on the display).

On the next screen select Sychronisation, then select On.

Nice one. Thanks mate. Come to think about, i've seen that but didnt know what was going to be synched

[AndyE66]

I don't think I'd have known if the dealer hadn't shown me at handover!

[dansansome]

i dont know why car manufacturers bother to make instruction manuals lol

i certainly dont read them...

[RichardCranium]

Found it!
There are a few things that i didnt know how to do, but sorted them by fiddling or educated guess work. For instance, i couldnt understand why the radio would come on when starting the car, even though i'd turned it off before removing the ignition key. Press and hold the on/off button and that does the trick.

Also i found that you can get a digital speedo in the centre of the instruments if you press the reset button under the wiper stalk a couple of times.

Spotted the speedo before as the original demo I took out was set like that. Didn't know about turning the radio off, thanks as that had been bugging me!

if you require owners manuals in pdf format then ill email them to you.

Interesting points above. Why on earth would a RESET button on the windscreen wipper stalk change the dash display, I thought it was somthing to do with the winscreen wipers or to reset the on board computers!!

Some more points:
Can you get the radio to come on at a pre-set volume when you first start the car?
Why are there TWO on board computers?
Where is the AUTO position for the wipers ... I think I know now but it took a while !!

nlb.

If you press and hold the RESET button it zeros your trip or MPG data, but if you just press and release it if moves through the two trip comps and then to the speedo thing

Auto wipers is position 1. haven't tried it as it hasn't rained yet!
