  • @AdamCalow
    @AdamCalow 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks, it’s interesting to hear about the foibles of the auto-park function. Do you know if it can finish parking manoeuvres that you have started? For example, if you start nosing or reversing the car into a bay and then decide that it’s a bit of a tight manoeuvre, can you hit the park assist button and have the car finish for you? (I wonder if that also might be a way of getting the car to use a space that you’ve chosen, rather than having to drive slowly whilst the car chooses a spot?)
    And it’s good to know that the reversing camera works well at night. I noticed that on the parking sensor display, the bars at the sides of the car were sometimes present and sometimes not? Do you know why?
    Fortunately, I’ve ordered this pack; otherwise I would have been a bit shocked not to have a parking sensor display. That really should be a standard feature in this price segment in this day and age.

    • @CRD90
      @CRD90  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks for watching and commenting Adam,
      Unfortunately you can't use the park assist feature mid way through a maneuver. I've actually had it bail out of a parking maneuver half way through on me because it freaked out the gap was smaller than expected. It literally let go of the steering wheel and beeps at you to tell you to take back control.
      About the parking display lines, not sure I understood what you meant 100% but the red bars really only show up when you're within a set distance of the object otherwise they will not show up on the screen and you will be left with the white bars which show the area / scope available to the sensors.

    Great video - I got my Audi A3 SAL SPT with C + S yesterday. I wanted the upgraded sound system and rear camera, hence went for C+S. Amazing sound. But i noticed that the sound on the front door speakers were only emitting bass (low frequency) - The rear doors have mid-range and a tweeter per door. i was not sure if the front door speakers were supposed to have mid-range as well. Do you happen to know if that's meant to be or do you think I should have the speakers checked?

    • @CRD90
      @CRD90  3 роки тому +2

      Ahh timely question! We're actually filming the cruise control feature now for release in a few weeks.
      Generally it will work by letting you set the speed and it will stick to it. You'll have to slow the car down yourself (e.g. use the brakes) and then accelerate back up.
      If your golfs driver assistance pack is similar to the A3 then you'll lose the radar guided cruise control aspect and traffic sign recognition (which is part of the add-on on the A3)
      But with the standard cruise control you also get a speed limiter which is good if driving in new areas like central London where it's full of speed cameras and 20! Is the speed limit 😎

      The only extra bit the driver assist package adds is the radar cruise control, traffic sign recognition and limited lane control (takes slight bends for you automatically)
      At the time I filmed this car I had the edition1 which did not have the driver assistance pack. I later upgraded to the vorsprung where it is standard and I would say it is worth having if you can stretch to it.

    Love the content, I just wonder how many parking assist bumps go on and how insurance companies react to any claims with this technology. Go back 5 years this stuff wasn't really out there and wouldn't be a big deal anyways. I agree its also a bit gimmicky and I wouldn't trust it. My failsafe is the "wife", she is better parking than me ..lol !

      I've always been skeptical too over this exact point. Who is at fault if the park assist crashes. The driver or Audi?
      I guess this is why Audi tell you to maintain some control over the car, but I wonder what stance other manufacturers take on it.
      I have nearly had it cause a scrape myself, so can see it happening relatively easily if people trust it 100% which is dangerous

    I recently acquired a new 2021 A3 S line Sportback with the Comfort and Sound Pack and Lane Change Assistant amongst other extras. A couple points from the video - with the Parking Assistant you mention using the brake but do you have to use the accelerator as well to forward/reverse the car or does the system do that? Secondly, on the website, it's suggested that if you have the Parking Assist package you also get Rear Traffic Assist - is that the case, please? Regarding the B&O sound system, I thought there'd be a sub-woofer in the spare wheel well but there isn't - do you know where it is? To be honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the sound from the B&O system even after adjusting it - it's okay, but not as good as I expected. Thanks for another excellent video, the dealer echoed your point, the C&S Pack adds significantly to the car's resale value whereas the Driver Assistance Package does not to the same extent.

      With the parking assist you do not need to touch the accelerator at all, just control the brake and gear select.
      The rear cross traffic alert is part of the lane change assistant pack, and hopefully I'll get that uploaded in the next video. The rear traffic assist is okay, not mind blowing though.
      And I actually agree, the b&o system in my brother's 2009 a4 sounds more wholesome, but I would 100% the difference is night and day in an a3 with and without the b&o upgrade.
      Not sure where the subwoofer is located, probably under the seat or somewhere in the interior. Doubt it would be in the boot as that is usually where aftermarket subwoofers are placed.
      Let me know if you have any other questions, random question but you're not based anywhere near London are you?
      I'm looking for an sline for an upcoming video post lockdown.

      Hybrids generally allow you to run purely on petrol as that is one of their main advantages so you would be able to do the same here.
      If you are referring to the 35tfsi stronic engines these have mild hybrid technology which is not like a normal hybrid car. In this case the engine shuts of briefly when coasting and this battery then powers the electrics in the car.

      Hi Jibran, thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you've subscribed for more content and to help us grow the channel :)
      The reason the vorsprung does not have the flat bottom is because as standard it comes with the driver assist pack. When the a3 has this they change the steering wheel to a fully round version.
      I believe this is to do with some additional sensors that are placed within the steering wheel.
      It's actually the only wheel that has been built for this generation A3 as the square lines match the car. You will notice the flat bottom steering wheel has a round centre because it's simply been reused from the previous generation A3.
