I just found out from the dealer that Audi supplied some extreme-climate equipped Audis, and what it is a solar panel in the sunroof that actuates the air blower while parked in the sun, and aluminum meshed windshield and rear window. Also, that there is a hole in that mesh that allows for locating radar detectors and toll chips. They said the manual would describe the location of this hole, but it doesn't. Anybody have a clue where it is? Thanks!!

Replying to: tayl0rd (Jan 09, 2007 6:21 am) Automotive companies continue to pressure their suppliers to control cost, and the glass industry, in particular, has had a difficult time penetrating the automotive market with new, innovative, added value products. An exception where both the customer's needs and the supplier's ability to meet these needs have been satisfied is the application of coatings for automotive glazing to efficiently reduce solar heat load in vehicles. Automotive designers are pushing the limits on steep installation angles and increasing glazing areas in vehicles, while the demand for fuel efficiency and environmental concerns are driving the downsizing and efficiency of air conditioning units. Under these conditions the use of tinted glass, which absorbs solar energy, is limited in adequately providing driver comfort. The use of low-E coatings, which reflect the solar energy, is a more efficient way of reducing the solar heat buildup. The widespread use of coated low-E for solar glazing in vehicles owes its existence to a cost effective manufacturing process which requires that the glass is first coated flat, rather than bent. The flat coated glass is then subsequently bent and laminated, or tempered. Heat treatable multilayer coatings have been developed containing two layers of silver that are finding wide use today in both the automotive and building industries. In addition, since the coating is conductive, a windshield, e.g. can serve a range of functions such as antenna, or defroster and deicer. These guys talk silver, I was told aluminum, sorry, it might be becasue my car is eight (going on nine) years old??

Hi, Could someone tell me what is included in the technology package in Canada, on the 2007 4.2 A6. It says that it includes the nav system and voice recognition. But i dont think the voice recognition is a $1600CAD option. Since the nav alone in $2200, and the Technology Pack is $3700. Thanks

Replying to: markcincinnati (Jan 09, 2007 5:23 pm) I was also also wondering if Sirius was part of the package instead of the Advanced parking. Since the advanced parking is offered as an individual option, where as Sirius is not offered as an individual option on the website. Guess i will have to pop by the dealership this weekend. Its a pitty they did not have any A6's for test drives the last time i went by. |
