FYI

The Tech Pack offering has been updated in the new Q7 brochure (April 2011).

The new system/software allows "online services" to be utilised and the nav to be aided by Google Earth images (via the mobile phone prep high it looks like).

The exact description reads:


"Satellite Navigation system – HDD-based. Route planning and guidance using voice, pictogram and 3D mapping. In combination with mobile telephone preparation – High, a Bluetooth capable mobile phone can be connected to the vehicles internal UMTS module. This will then allow online services including; point of interest search and navigation with the help of Google Earth images. Online traffic information is also shown on the navigation display.† Includes AM/FM tuner with TP memo function. Single front-loading CD/DVD player with MP3 compatibility, suitable for audio and DVD playback. Third generation MMI system including high resolution (800x400) 7” colour TFT display, two SD card readers and 40GB hard drive, 10GB of which can be used to store up to 4,000 songs. HDD navigation functionality includes advanced speech recognition, 3D and topographical mapping display and advanced 3D building display"


I noticed this with a cursory glance, there may be other changes/updates.

Cheers,

Out of a 40gb hard drive they need 30gb for nav and other functions? That seems like a lot of space for a fairly simple system. I would think they could have at least 20gb for music. Why not use a 60 or 80gb drive? It would be peanuts. They should at least give us the option of opting for a larger hard drive if desired.
