Free Bang & Olufsen option with new A4

**browellm** · 26-02-2008,06:45 PM

Looks to me like an override for the anti car-jacking alarm system. For example, when you need the car loading onto a tow-truck and you don't want the alarm going off. Just my guess.

Fixed your link too

Thanks Browellm, I was struggling!

You are probably right as the symbols appear to fit!

Just received my new A4 20.0TDi SE on Saturday. Came with B&O sound system, it is amazing, basically a superb Hi-Fi on wheels....

This free upgrade is available to existing Audi owners....sometimes they don't tell you, as it is supposed to be a surprise when you lick up your car!!

In general the whole car is great, lots of improvements on my B7 (05 Plate). Longer, more rear leg room, larger boot, Dashboard is better. My one is Meteor Grey great colour as well.....only had it for 2 days so still learning.

Congrats Scott, hope you can post more info when you get to grips with it all.

Pics would be nice too

yeah ive been told that i will be getting the B&O system as a freebie

what concerns me more is that to get the ipod connection option you would have to fork out the £2k on the sat nav system. bit of a joke if you ask me since the previous model had a much cheaper option

Jeston,

why not take advantage of the SD card reader? I'm in the process of transferring a 40 year collection of records/cds (though I'm mostly stuck in a music time warp of 1963 to 1975) onto the computer, then onto sd card.

The last 4 gb card I did contains over 70 cds.

Can anybody who actually has the B & O soundsystem confirm whether it actually has the SD reader slot? It is not clear from the brochure whether the B&O system has the SD reader, or whether only the Concert radio has it.

Thanks,

Martin

The B&O sound system, does not change the actual radio/cd part. The standard Concert System has a SD reader, and single CD. I thought about upgrading to the Symphony which has a 6 CD, but thought what's the point giving the SD reader.

The B&O part is amplifiers and 14 speakers. Sound rommit is superb, it is not a car but a hi-fi on wheels.....

From memory, one is for opening the boot, one is for disabling the alarm interior sensors, and can't remember what the 3rd is...

never use any of the buttons basically

The buttons on the door edge, are for:

1. to disable the interior sensors for the alarm - useful if pet in car etc. I use mine when at petrol station, and kids in car, otherwise when you lock it (so stop someone stealing it..or worse you're kids), then the alarm won't go of, if they move about.

2. to diable the tilt alarm, this would be required if you were getting towed by a breakdown truck, again when locked the alarm would go off.

On the B7 they were on the down in the footwell area.

hope this helps
