We bought this car second hand an it had no phone kit, my friendly main dealer said he could install one for 411 pounds...then raised it to 750 and then stated that it wouldn't actually be the same as a factory supplied one.

Anyway, I would like as discreet an installation as possible, what kit is recommended by the forum? Obviously I will need to install it myself, the main dealer is simply too unreliable.

Thanks for your help...

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

Not this one...nor does it have a switch to turn off the parking sensor....

Per the thread here I've gone for the Parrot 3200 - get it installed next Tuesday. I've seen in it in operation and it looks very good. That's just my opinion though FWIW.

Your S/C is not a UK spec car then AJSG as all UK S/C's came with voice activation, B/T, a cradle under the centre fridge................................... there were only 2 spec levels for the S/C here - Plain S/C in HSE spec + some other extras as standard and The Fist Edition and both had the phone cradle and B/T connectivity according to my brochures from the launch to date. The only other thing it might be is a pre-production car that escaped the crusher somehow 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Is there some other way I can check its origin? From the VIN number for example? I'd ask the dealer but I think he has enough trouble with shoelaces...

Thanks,

Well, the VIN number detailing is here but it doesn't necessarily tell you which market it was bound for (I don't think anyway).... the best way is to get (any) dealer to confirm. They all have access to the same data.

Do you know the date of first registration?

Date of first reg is 24/03/2005 and the VIN number has one issue, in the engine identifier it says "3" rather than 1, 4, or 5...but apart from that there is no other discrepancy. In the Reg Doc it states Variant AA3 Version 023 in case that means anything to you.

Regarding the dealer, Stratstone, have had the car in 3 times for the same problem (steering crunching and parking sensors gone mad) and they never spotted the version issue. Their staff is quite "special"...its been quite a traumatic experience for my poor wife... 2007 Audi Q7 4.2 FSI Grey/Black Int.

I can't say it does.... but you do have one of the first RRSs to roll out of the factory and it's been shown here on a few occasions that the very early ones had their issues. You could always try another dealer, they're not all bad

I'm not enjoying the main dealer experience with a number of people, my wife's previous car was bought from one of the most well known dealers in the UK and they really messed things up when the brakes failed. They also sold me this RRS without telling me of its origin (maybe they didn't know, is that possible?).

My current dealer is also pretty well known and whilst repainting the rear bumper they over sprayed the passenger door with lacquer...everyone can see this except for their body shop who denies its existence...

With a first registration date of 24/03/2005 it is one of the very early production cars - I think VA's and my TDv6's were also from around that date for production rather than registration. I wonder if you have one of the launch specials used by the press or for dealer evaluation rather than a "production" car.

Hmm, bad luck but as I say, there ARE good dealers even though you do hear a lot of horror stories out there.

Would be nice to find out who they are without months and months of frustration....I think I start a new thread on the matter...see if anyone local can help.... 2007 Audi Q7 4.2 FSI Grey/Black Int.

THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR AS ALL RRS FITTED WITH PARK SENSORS HAVE A BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF WITH. WATS THE VIN AND I WILL LOOK INTO IT AT WORK FOR U

At a guess does your registration begin with VX? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
