Default 2008 A4

I love my AUDI. i've had it for about 3 months, the only thing i don't love... are the warning sounds.

if the car is powered on, but i havent started the engine yet, it beeps to tell me i should turn my car on.

if im sitting in the car, in my driveway, w/o the seatbelt on it beeps to tell me the same...

Is there a dealership option or another way to remove these silly and useless warning noises??

Fully agree. The seatbelt beeps when the car is in park is really annoying. I'd love to be able to turn this off as well.

I am looking into getting an Ipod interface, but cant comment! I would rather invest that money into a vag-com and remove the seatbelt warning that way. I highly doubt that you can remove the other warning lights as they are there for a good readon IMO. For eexample not tu run the battery, gas warning, burnt out light warning, low brake pad warning....and the list goes on

don't bother with the Audi factory one.
It doesnt read the id3 tags, runs the whole thing like a 6 disc changer, so it lists all ur songs in 6 folders under the name CD1..CD2...CD3 .............CD6....

To make it worse, it doesnt recognize playlists, or anything.
Should have gone for a 6 disc changer instead.
for all my music needs i've got a ipod dock, which plugs into the lighter... & tunes to a FM frequency.

ill upload some pics tomorrow...

I just bought my 2008 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro about a month ago and have had to bring it in for service twice already for the same problem.

The problem I'm experiencing is during "cold start" in the morning when I leave for work. The car starts but the engine seems like it's not firing on all cylinders. It causes the entire vehicle to shake with such discomfort... The odometer also revs up and down during this time.

What's strange is after I get to work, turns off the car and leaves it for a few hours it goes back to normal. It doesn't happen again when I leave for lunch.

This has been so fustrating for me... Has anyone else experience a similar problem with their new 2008 A4?
