What's new in the facelift technology pack?

[Goatistuta]

Just ordered my new A6 TDi 2.0 Ultra Multitronic S-line with a few options including Technology Pack Advanced. I notice that the brochure says that it's using new Nvidia technology - does anyone know what's new compared to the original offering?

Cheers.

Yes and so would you if you took the initiative to read the new A6 brochure. It's just a few clicks away on the Audi website.

The Tech Pack in the Facelift car are basically the same except that Phone Prep High has been swapped for the Phone Box and AMI is dropped because it is now standard. No change to TPA. Biggest change to functionality is the faster Nvidia graphics processor, a move to 4G connectivity and increased functionality within Audi Connect

He might not have access to a pre-facelift brochure to compare. His question was not what was in it but what had changed

Many thanks for this really helpful response - very useful!

So, perhaps you would kindly answer my question about the additional features that the new Nvidia technology offers over the pre-facelift pack?

Basically better faster graphics

I believe it also allows the map to be displayed in the DIS too.

The initial press release photo of the A7 facelift showed that but since then there has been nothing to confirm it. I would have thought that it would have been at least mentioned and almost certainly shown in the brochure and it hasn't. It is definitely in the new TT but that has a different instrument panel, as shown in the nvidia press release. I think we will have to wait until the first Facelift A6 or A7 is released into the wild to find out for certain

The new 3d terrain sat nav map powered by the Nvidia graphics chip in the DIS is definitely included in the new tech pack for the A6. It's clearly shown in the Audi video release of the FL A6 Avant that's driving around the windy mountain road. I must say it looks very very impressive and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

The setup in the TT is entirely different as I believe this is a full TFT dash.
