Probably not. In my last car (a Mini Cooper) the NAV and Xenons
coexisted just fine.
The Audi dealer didn't know the answer either.

Er.. that's a different car with different systems though? I retro
fitted a Nav+ to my S4 and had to upgrade the battery at the same time
or else kept going flat.

You are probably right then. Interesting....I wouldn't have thought
that a NAV would be such a power drain.

Errr... Xenon (HID) lights use less power than standard filament units.
Dip beam on standard lights is 55W, with HID it's 35W.
