New to us 07 Q7 Prestige V6 for the wife
Drove from Ft. Lauderdale up to Tampa to pick him up. Has every option but Ipod AMI 
Which I may retrofit later. So far it's been pretty nice apart from a few hiccups. The mirrors didn't work on the test drive (which was fixed ASAP 
) and there's a weird shudder from rear drives side wheel, which we got in writing that they would take care of it if it persists ( they claimed the tyre is flat spotted from it sitting on the lot).
Also on the drive back from Tampa, my wife calls me while I'm in the rental and tells me, she got a warning from the tyre pressure sensor. We stopped at a gas station right before hitting Alligator Alley and low and behold the passenger rear tyre had air rushing out of it :O I bought a tyre plug from the gas station and was able to plug the puncture. Then I fell in love again with this car because of the compressor it comes with, we were back on the road in 30 mins again
Other than those few things, the car is perfect!!! I still can't believe we found one with the brown espresso leather without the captain seats in the 2nd row and also with the off road package on the exterior with a hitch...

That is indeed a nice ride and a great find. I also like that middle row seating - had two adults and a car seat/toddler in that row a lot last week over the holiday and everyone was comfy.
You can check the glove box or center console to see if the hookup for the iPod adapter is there - I am not sure if this was even available on '07s but I recall reading here that some Q7s that have AMI or MMI have the hookup but just the cable itself isn't present, which is an easy fix.

The build date is 11/06 so thats probably why. Guess I'll have to spend the $800 for the AMI...

Does anyone know if the Nav has a 2D view as oppose to the birds eye view that it's defaulted too?

It looks too "yellow" next to the grey TT. It also makes a great combo with the Espresso/Peanut leather. My 07 was Cardomom Beige.
A unique Q in those colors and Off Road Pkg.

It compliments the TT quite well. Now I need to find a D2 S8 in Avus silver, the TT is getting to small and with 2 kids it doesn't really fit in with the family I'll miss my ALMS TT when she's gone, she's been pretty good to me over the years....
