Default Got my SQ5 - Phantom Black

Hi Guys,

Got my Phantom black SQ5 Technik last week! Great car, love it! Not my first choice of color, but couldn't wait 3 months without a car (mine was already sold)...

Options: 21", B&O, Navigation, Carbon fiber inlays, ... and 2100$ 21" winter tires (mandatory over here).






Got some questions/annoyances:

1-How to close the hatch with the key?? Can it be done?

2-18gb hard drive on a 70k (80k with taxes), are you kidding me? Can it be replaced?

3-How to disable the annoying dynamic audio volume that varies with your car's speed.

4-The average fuel consumption is really annoying, it looks to calculated the average for the last 5-10kms... and not for a longer period of time (like so many other cars).

5-Looks like Canadian get shafted (as usual), we can't use a SIM to have internet/hotspot in the car as in the US.

Any help is appreciated guys!

Congratulations! My SQ5 is the Phantom Black Pearl too. I have the red/black interior - looks really sporty.

The 18gb hard drive doesn't really bother me since all my "CD" music is on my iPod anyway. I don't even need the hard drive.

Enjoy your new ride! :-)

Many grats on the great-looking car. Sorry I can't help on any of the items on your list but I hope they don't detract from your enjoyment of driving it. Steve

This one should be as easy as disabling the GALA (Graduated Audio Level Adjustment) located in your audio settings.

Nice ride.

1.) Can't you just press the button again when it's open? I think I've done this but can't remember.

These are the best audi wheels imho. Crossing my fingers hartmann make replicas but might have to settle for the hs5. Congrats!

I think the average fuel consumption can be toggled via the wiper stalk button for trip 1/2.
