Car Play
The CarPlay system is still not working properly. It’s very disappointing that, after four months of owning the car and three visits to the dealership, Audi has still not been able to resolve this issue.
Still unreliable
Updates from previous reviews:
Still tells me almost every day that my car is unlocked, when it is not. Can be mitigated by refreshing the app on the main page (by swiping downwards), but after several version updates this is still not fixed.
Controls over home charging are a bit clumsy. Depends in part on vehicle capabilities, but there is no simple enable/disable switch, or a ‘charge for n hours starting now’ option, only always-on, or a collection of completion timers. Area for potential improvement.

Trash
This app is terrible. Coming from 3 Audis you would think they would fix the app. Always glitches,crashes or won’t connect to the car.
Decent app but most used to be free
Update - every time the app is updated, it tries to get me to opt-in to analytics. I’ve said “no” for the last three updates. Why doesn’t my choice stick?
Same with the app automatically opening every time my phone connects to the car. Why? It does nothing of use. Please stop it; this is very frustrating.
Update - now the AdBlue level is not working; stuck at 4,365 miles, regardless of the fact I’ve travelled 1,300 miles since the last fill.
Original - When I bought my 2021 Q7, the three year subscription was OK but no cigar. I didn’t extend it as most of the functions I used - lock/unlock, location, service reminder - were free anyway.
Now, all of that free functionality that came in the price of my car is locked away behind a paywall. Pretty sharp practice.
The app works fairly well, if slow; but the paywall change and removing something that came with the car is not on. Squeezing £4/month out of a customer who has spent £90k+ is shameful.
Volvo gives their app and SatNav updates free for the life of the car. Audi needs to seriously up their game, or I will go elsewhere for my next car.

No flashing or horn function now
Since update the flashing lights / horn function is not available disappeared. The app is not the best I have to admit but slightly works. Doesn’t always show parked location and is very slow. Also took forever an a day to pair with the car at first install.
