I purchased my Audi Q3 Premium Plus successful July 2023 and determination was nary Auto Hold successful our cars that time. I drove a Q3 immoderate days backmost , it was from 2023 excessively (just 2 months newer model) and it had Auto Hold and it made days and nighttime of quality successful metropolis traffic.

I tried emailing Audi to adhd this to my car but got the aforesaid nonsense that it cannot beryllium added. This is ridiculous due to the fact that the nonstop aforesaid car and nonstop aforesaid exemplary has this feature. It is highly unfair for america aboriginal adopters of the car.

I cognize determination are much than 10 radical connected this forum who privation to get this added truthful I americium making this thread truthful that we tin each travel on unneurotic and unit Audi to bash it.

Please reply with your intent and suggestions connected however we tin spell astir it.

This is an unreasonable inquire & does not merit a thread connected Team-Bhp. You liked a product, you paid the marketplace price, you entered into a declaration with the institution & successful instrumentality they gave you the merchandise that you paid the terms for. This is not unfair, it would person been unfair if they had promised you auto-hold relation & past did not enactment existent to their promise.

Companies volition & should present caller features each the clip & that is however it works.

While your angst astir not having it is understandable, the inquire is unreasonable. There volition ever beryllium a constituent of clip erstwhile caller features are added and determination volition beryllium radical connected some sides of it. Those who missed an upgrade owed to acquisition conscionable earlier and those who purchased conscionable aft and hence got thing new. I americium definite your person would person paid a higher terms also. The reverse is besides true. Companies driblet features besides each the time. If you look astatine the good people I americium definite you volition spot the '..company reserves the close to add/delete features oregon functions astatine immoderate constituent of time'. So adjacent if they told you that your car volition person it and it does not, legally they are astir apt covered. In this lawsuit since nary specified committedness has been made, I don't spot what tin beryllium done.

The lone affirmative is due to the fact that it is simply a VAG radical car, determination is simply a accidental that each hardware is already successful spot and lone bundle upgrades are needed which you whitethorn beryllium capable to bash aft marketplace astatine immoderate constituent of clip (Again, nary thought if it tin beryllium done for thing similar a car hold. Just commenting based connected each the modifications done easy connected VAG radical cars)

A cursory hunt shows a clump of hits w.r.t. a retrofit kit. https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...3-month-review

Definitely going to void the warranty though - anyway, knowing however slothful VAG is successful India, I'd beryllium hugely amazed if they wage immoderate attraction to this 'petition'. They are adept astatine cheesing disconnected their premium customers

I ne'er mentioned I privation them to adhd it for free. I americium consenting to wage the terms they volition request. I americium beauteous definite the hardware is determination and it is conscionable a tiny mod that needs to beryllium done to the car arsenic the newer car with this diagnostic is the nonstop aforesaid car with the nonstop aforesaid specifications and is selling for nonstop aforesaid terms if not cheaper and it was conscionable mates of months betwixt the upgrade, it was not a facelift oregon caller exemplary that was launched.

As for wherefore it doesn't merit a thread, the mods tin determine that. I cognize determination are a fewer radical from present itself who person raised this interest and I conscionable privation america to unite unneurotic and instrumentality it up to Audi and I americium looking for suggestions connected the forum connected however to petition them to bash it and if anyone has gotten it done by a shaper successful the past. This is what they person responded to the email I wrote to them:

"This email is successful regards to your email which you person written to Audi India Regarding the Auto clasp feature.

I would similar to pass you that the exemplary which was delivered to you was Q3 (My2023). As you were alert that this was not disposable astatine that clip and the diagnostic upgrade happened successful the newer Model Q3 (My-2024) successful the period of Jan 2024.

Unfortunately, this diagnostic cannot beryllium retrofitted oregon added to your existing Q3 owed to method constraints.

Please consciousness escaped to interaction america if you person immoderate questions oregon query."

Now I americium looking for immoderate assistance oregon suggestions from the forum members to spot if thing further tin beryllium done. It is simply a 50 lakh positive car, not a mobile telephone that I tin merchantability and bargain a caller exemplary adjacent month. And it is not a cosmetic diagnostic oregon an other bling that I request successful the car, it is simply a precise basal usability feature.
