It's hard to use the HUD wearing sunglasses but for long night drives it really comes in handy. I love the puddle lights.. especially helpful passengers getting off the car.
There is also a button in the cargo area to lower the back end down for loading and unloading. I use it when putting my 2 pitbulls in the back. Also the car will stop itself if it thinks you are going to hit something. I have been backing in the garage to quickly and this happens. Love my sq5. Wheel shopping for it now. Keep up the great content thank you
For Park Assist use the turn signal indicator & it will then determine whether left or right side parking. The Sport Differential is not a gimmick. If Macan performance levels are desired, particularly during cornering at very high speeds it is a requirement particularly with the air suspension set to Dynamic to apply power to the all-well drive system to stabilize the car. The heads-up display in conjunction with the navigation system will include point to point directions. The Audi Beam Rings are helpful in the dark in the wet to avoid puddles. There are also lighted door handles & ability to touch lock the car from any of the 4 door handles
The parking assist doesn't search for a parking spot, it searches for 2 reference points (2 cars) and a spot inbetween them to classify it as a parking spto
I have to say all the people i spoke to, once they had heads up display they wont ever get another car without it. but i can also see why it is a distraction...when pedal shifting sport cars you have to look down at your RPMs etc. But the RS & Ms & AMGs actually display RPMs in the heads up so you can ditch the tachometer.
Love my 2019 SQ5. Same color, that cool gray. Prestige package with red leather interior. About to install the TGK lowering links after seeing your vid. Looking to change the wheels at that time too. Appreciate your vids!
(B9.5 SQ5) I love my Heads up display, one the reasons for me to go with a Prestige. The Parking assist is not that great. I really do like the Drive assist, Sign recongition, and cruise control. Going on the long road trips and it changing the speed on its own is awesome.
@@ktalltx8538 if you have Active cruise control, lane assist, and sign Recognition. You set your cruise control, and while you’re driving your car it will change to the speed limits that you’re currently driving through.
is prestige+ only available in the US or also in Europe, for me it is almost impossible to find an sq5 with dual pane windows. I wonder if it's standard over here and a lot of them have it, no sellers specify it. Not even dealers.
I have similar completation on my S4 Avant, the most useful features to me are the Matrix light, Adaptive dampers (magnetic on S4), the B&O then the sport diff. I can cruise with my baby/dog confortably and when I'm alone Dynamic and it's just a fun beast :D
I don't know if this is new in US, but all this with parking assist, lane assist and speed signs camera etc is something I have on my 2012 A7 in Europe. Speed signs also shows in HUD btw.
Yeah I didn’t know about this feature either until after I had bought my 2020 S for premium plus😢 I definitely would’ve went for a prestige model if I knew that I thought premium plus was the highest
Mods!!! Rear bumper with real exhaust tips!!! I think BKM makes a RS looking one with oval exhaust, looks mad!! I know you cN just cut the fake ones and fill it with clean exhaust tips, but the BKM kind of looks nice!! Nice to see you back on a SQ5, I got a 2017 B8 and I do want a B9 for the tech inside!!
So in the B9 sq5 if u see red calipers is means u have air suspension? I ordered a prestige on Carmax and It didn't list sport package but it has red calipers. I feel like most SQ5s I see with red calipers.
I’ve tried both the $20 laser lights and eventually purchased the $180 OEM Audi rings. The $20 version looks crispy for about 2 week before it becomes distorted and has holes in the picture. Eventually the image burns away. Either stock up on several $20 ones or buy the oem version once and be done with It.
I have a 2014 S6 and a Volvo XC90, both of which have the heads up display that I love. Definitely not worth paying Audi for the puddle lights. I recently got them for the S6 from Enthusiast Brands for $60 for all 4 doors. You can even choose if you want the rings or other designs.
Fun fact. I bought a used 2018 SQ5 Prestige in MI but my SQ5 was a Canadian VIN. I have the sport package with sport diff, red calipers, but standard suspension. I do not believe I have park assist either. So apparently the Candian models had different options. Also the sign recognition can adjust speed automatically when using adaptive cruise. It can auto lower or increase your speed as it reads the signs and can be a pain. If it sees a school zone sign it will auto brake down to 25 in a 55 and it happens aggressively. Did it to me on a weekend so obviously no need and caught me off guard
Does yours have the virtual dash? In Canada here we have the Progressiv and Technik packages. You can add the red calipers, sport diff, etc. on its own.
@@chrischang6289 yes it has the virtual dash. The only difference I see in mine is it doesn't have air suspension. Every other option in the US prestige package is included. From what i read, the self parking feature was added in 2019 and mine is an 2018
air suspension... awesome Park assist... are for the fearful and/or lazy Heads-up display for speed gauge, turn-by-turn nav... I prefer it than looking down the dash Speedlimit sign recognition of Audi... not 100% accurate B&O I'm sure you balling with those
When are we going to see you roll the upgrades onto this car ? Have done a few myself so keen to see what you do and track the performance change on each one
air suspension cool until it's start having issues. Mine was a nightmare in my S6 always faults and hard to diagnose. And I only rode in dynamic so I could have definitely went without it
Expect to get constant mail from Sirius to renew your subscription. My dad's GTI came with a couple months of Sirius and he got mail from them for about a year before they gave up. I've only ever driven one car that had a HUD and I felt like my eyes were going cross eye
Not all B9s with the prestige pkg has park assist. Just fyi. I have a B9 SQ5 prestige. S sport. Etc. Only option it doesn’t have is park assist. But it does have ACC and lane assist and traffic jam assist. It will literally drive itself. Lol
You said red brake calipers mean it has a sport package which includes sport diff. Is this the same for B8.5 S4? Currently looking to buy one and a lot of sellers have no actual idea if their car has a sport diff. What are some other signs that it has a sport diff, aside from looking under the rear of the car. I've heard drive select button means it has a sport diff, but I actually see a lot of people disagree on that on forums. Great videos, keep it up!
Its a gimmick for us car guys. But for your lady friends. Its a great plus 👍🤙 my gf would probably get stressed out over parking in a crowded hard to park area.

Some cars even raise the suspension automatically based on location. Like if you have a steep driveway it does it automatically.

Ive got a b9 a4 so I’m looking forward to the journey with this vehicle. As always best audi content on youtube 👍

🤔 how do you get it to change speeds on it own? I probably haven’t driven far enough to utilize it yet

@@ThatTeaBagger Our Prestige has the Double pane glass. It really makes it quite in the SQ5
I wanted a s6 but now I want a sq5. Love the content. THE SQ5 KING IS BACK!!👍👍👍👍👍
That’s pretty dope wish my S5 had park assist I tend to rub tire against curbs when parking on my street or are way too far away.

Favorite is the air ride--parking is gimmick.

HUD is nice for long distance highway travel, especially when... in a rush
My mom has a b9 prestige Q5 and i have a b9 prestige S4 and she has park assist and i don’t. So i think the park assist is only on q5/sq5
Yeah I didn’t know about this feature either until after I had bought my 2020 S for premium plus😢 I definitely would’ve went for a prestige model if I knew that I thought premium plus was the highest
I got this on my 2018 Golf Alltrack and it work good

My MK6 golf got the park assist aswell, just for parallel parking though. Nice when you’re lazy lol
adaptive cruise control. I was on a 600km trip in my S4 Avant back in April and was on ACC majority of the time,
So in the B9 sq5 if u see red calipers is means u have air suspension? I ordered a prestige on Carmax and It didn't list sport package but it has red calipers. I feel like most SQ5s I see with red calipers.

My favorite party trick in my SQ5

Just waiting for the fake/dummy Exhaust tail end swap...... should be interesting🤔😉
This is only on 19 and up prestige models for the S4 in NA. Not sure about the year on the SQ5.

air suspension... awesome
Park assist... are for the fearful and/or lazy
Heads-up display for speed gauge, turn-by-turn nav... I prefer it than looking down the dash
Speedlimit sign recognition of Audi... not 100% accurate
B&O I'm sure you balling with those
Flood lights from ebay always burn out really quick. Quality on oem ones are worth imo
Sold my B9 SQ5 was pretty underwhelmed with the interior coming from an 8R and having a 4M Q7. You seem to have found a really cool spec one though.
When are we going to see you roll the upgrades onto this car ? Have done a few myself so keen to see what you do and track the performance change on each one
In the process of buying a house so not 100% sure on ETA
Subscribed for the SQ5 content 🔥
What can I expect for labor on the motor links if taken to a shop? Thanks buddy
Don’t take it to a shop, it takes 5 mins per corner. Just take the wheel off!
@@IgnitionTube thanks man, ill look a video on how to install. Appreciate that
For some reason B&O when I tested on b9 sq5 sounded good but on my b9 s5SB doesn’t sound that good
air suspension cool until it's start having issues. Mine was a nightmare in my S6 always faults and hard to diagnose. And I only rode in dynamic so I could have definitely went without it
Never had issues on my S6!
@@IgnitionTube yea I think it's a hit or miss issue. Friend of mine had an RS7 with air suspension and no issues
My 2012 facelift A3 has it, idk about you in the US but this isnt smth new to us
Expect to get constant mail from Sirius to renew your subscription. My dad's GTI came with a couple months of Sirius and he got mail from them for about a year before they gave up.
I've only ever driven one car that had a HUD and I felt like my eyes were going cross eye
Oh they called me for years, I finally told them that their stuff is a scam and to stop calling me 😂😂😂
Do you have the Sport Exhaust or the fake exhaust tips?
That wasn’t an option on the B9, only on the 2021 and up!
Not all B9s with the prestige pkg has park assist. Just fyi. I have a B9 SQ5 prestige. S sport. Etc. Only option it doesn’t have is park assist. But it does have ACC and lane assist and traffic jam assist. It will literally drive itself. Lol
the heads up display on my S6 is very useful. How much do you want to look down when driving
I find it as a more of distraction than a helper, but to each their own!!

It is not! You need to look under the car for the S4 or have a window sticker run.
B&O has zero bass. Air ride is nice I suppose, but a ticking time bomb. You doing a compare vid between the B8.5?
First thing people comment on my B&O is the bass.
mk6 golf had park assist as a option
Has Audi fixed the power close trunk option, so you can close it from up front? Or can it only be closed from the back (dumb)
They have not, but maybe I can code it??
@@IgnitionTube I can open and close my trunk from the front switch. B9.5 2022 SQ5
Yah I think you just have to hold the button while it closes
@@blacknight5337 good to know they’ve changed it
B9.5 RS5 here. Yes it closes from inside. Gotta hold the button
I have a VW Passat from 2011 and have auto parking :))
What baby seat are you using? It looks nice
We’ve had great luck with the Nuna systems!!
@@IgnitionTube Thanks I'll look into them. My little one is going to need a convertible car seat really soon in the back of my S4
Actually our 2012 VW Tiguan had the auto park option, in the Audi / VW concern nothing special
Wow i've actually never seen this lol. Awesome
Nice car man.. you think you can beat the b8 sq5 1/4 time with this one?
Absolutely! Just a matter of time
Its a gimmick for us car guys. But for your lady friends. Its a great plus 👍🤙 my gf would probably get stressed out over parking in a crowded hard to park area.
idk, she parallel parks better than I do 😂😂
This isn’t where I parked my car!
Lmao thats not new lol its been around forever the newer version changes gears and does the brake for you
Hi IgnitionTube
None None of those are actually knew they been out for a while as far as option ghost you just had a crappy cars
No one and I mean absolutely no one takes this guy seriously 😂🤡🤦♂️
Thanks for watching!! Hope your day gets better
@@IgnitionTube #1 I didn’t watch #2 my day was definitely better than yours
@@openranks4519 that’s awesome, glad you’re having a good day!!
