SE becomes SE Executive for MY17?

Just came across this on Carwow website https://www.carwow.co.uk/news/audi-a...ete-guide-2905 Only placve I have seen it but if it is true then it would suggest that RMC also supports Apple and Android integration

I don't understand the obsession with the apple CarPlay.
It's a car. You drive it and maybe have some music playing. The rmc and the mmi plus is quite good.
I think there's too much people wanting to faff about while they are driving and not actually concentrating on the driving

I beeped at someone the other day who was texting and driving, who then proceeded to hurtle abuse at me and saying how he was capable of texting and driving.

My only reason for wanting CarPlay is that I could then use a navigation app from my phone in the car which would give me constantly updated maps (with no ridiculous charge from Audi for doing the update) and proper real time traffic data which is only available if you buy the techpack at £1600

Expect many iterations as they clear the decks for the C8

I think car manufactured will restrict what CarPlay can/will do. It's similar to the VIM argument, they will restrict crap if they think it affects your ability to drive.
Also Why would Audi or any manufacturer fit CarPlay as standard and not fleece you for the upgraded nav unit at £1000-2000? They will find a way to get your money.
Also nav on the phone is only as good as there's mobile reception. Go out into the sticks and your google map and what not will start failing. Don't get me wrong when they work they are brilliant.

I've got a FL 2015 Avant, I want Android auto, but then again I love technology and gadgets and prefer the better integration for media, I doubt it will happen but here's hope that Audi will let us upgrade the mmi software in the FL to Android auto/car play!!! Otherwise I'm gonna have to part ex mine!!

Not entirely true... have you tried offline maps in Google Maps? I use it when I travel abroad and you can download a pretty large area and use it whilst offline. Granted it is time stamped so it can only be used for a couple of months (I guess they don't want you using really old maps), you need to do your route planning when you are online (wifi before you set off) and no traffic but it's pretty effective. Try it next time you go on hols

been using the 3 mobile abroad so get 3G/4g anywhere so never really had to cache maps on the phone. Never drove my car abroad, always found it easier to fly there and rent a car as most countries drive on the other side so not wanting to confuse myself too much and risk my car😄
