I think you can enable DRL for the rears.
Because it is assumed that if you have your lights on then it is dark and the DRL’s don’t need to be that bright. (Some countries allow driving with parking lights only, these lights can also be referred to as side lights).
I don’t understand why DRL’s are front only. They should always be front and rear.

You are waiting for nothing. Audi engineers have removed configurations from 2018 that's why you could do them in 2017.
That being said, there might be some discoveries of things hidden in the long coding that unlocks new functionality. But if you are looking for functionality that was in 2017 but not in 2018, I think that's a lost cause.

I looked through nearly all of this thread. Has anyone found a mod that will allow the seat heating and ventilation to reset to "off" when the car is turned off?

When I found this thread, I thought I had found the solution to how to have Sirius traffic and weather, etc., and maybe even permanently disable the stop/start feature, but this post suggests that model year 2018's can't be modified? I really just would like to have Sirius traffic. I already pay for it, and to pay $199 for six months of INRIX just seems nuts.

Thanks. Since it's been figured out for the MK II Q5, hoping it's just a matter of time. Maybe Audi is getting a boatload of money from INRIX? They are certainly not listening to their customers. This closed system has been going on for years. I was able to use a PTEL sim card in prior models to get around the high prices from AT&T, but PTEL went out of business. It's not clear to me why we can't use our existing cell plans - and I'm an AT&T client. It's not like we're streaming movies, so it can't really be a big data drain. It all about the $$, I guess.

For the Q7, it's possible to use a sim card, but only to power the onboard wifi, not for any of the PRIME services. Perhaps that's what you saw for the Q5?

When you say "figured out for the MkII Q5", do you mean Inrix or Sirius traffic without the Audi PRIME subscription? Can you post a reference to this?

Perhaps I have misunderstood this thread: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-...pires-2941112/
And just to clarify... the mod is to enable Sirius traffic overlay, not Inrix. So it is really going around/outside the whole Audi Connect PRIME environment. Some of the folks reporting that it is vey hard to get Sirius to add the traffic subscription since their database says the model is not compatible.

Just FYI, in Europe I can use any SIM card for all the in-car data needs. We don't have Audi PRIME here though, but I think that's the same thing they call Audi Connect here, which includes "Traffic Information Online" (which btw sucks compared to for example Google Maps). This is powered by INRIX, if I'm not mistaken, so should be the same. Here's a screenshot of my Audi Connect service in myAudi:
