Hello :-)

I'm hopefully moving from my Mustang Mach E to a new Audi Q6 ETron but had a question regarding the car's cruise control / lane centering features. I've searched this reddit but couldn't find the answer so hoping someone could help.

I'm getting the car in the UK through a lease with LexAutolease (via work). On the Mach E, the feature I use the most often is the automatic lane centering so when I have the adaptive cruise control turned on, on the motorway, the car pretty much does the steering to keep me in the middle of the lane. This works really well for me as I do very little steering input (other than keeping my hands on the wheel).

Based on my car allowance, I am looking to lease the Audi Q6 ETron, sport trim, performance model with the tech pack. Up until today I assumed that this car / spec would do the lane centering like I had on the Mach E but some searches today seem to indicate this is not the case and instead I get the lane nudges rather than the steering.

My question is that, is this something I can purchase later through the myAudi app? The various AI tools seems to give me widely different answers.

Any help will be very much appreciated! thanks.

I am currently driving a 2024 Q4 and considering trading it in for a 2027 Q6.. Wondering if the 2027 Q6 models still have traditional two pedal set-up (like my Q4), or if they have moved to a more standard one pedal set-up for EVs.

My usual dealer tells me that Audi USA is not taking orders or giving allocations until after Jan 1. Has anyone else heard this? If true, any idea why?

Since I got kd2*, I no longer see Android auto nav instructions in the HUD. anybody having similar problems?

I have successfully bought the sound enhancement package in the MMI store in the past, but now the packages remain on “activating”.
Has anyone else had this issue ?

I already tried resetting the MMI by holding the volume button for 20 seconds, removing and re-adding my user account and doing the double close from the key and leaving the car for a few hours.

I’ve also already connected the Audi connect support, but I’m curious if anyone here had the same issue and was able to resolve it.

Folks, Im picking up my Q6 at the dealership next week and during the pick-up I'll inspect the car, what do you recommend I look for in this first inspection?

Firmware version ???

Any other items worth checking

While I had my car at the dealer to fix the passenger-side mirror I had caught on my garage door (luckily it was JUST the cap), they also installed KD2*. It was done in a couple of hours, and I was pleased to find that my digital key still worked (unlike KD2 where I had to reset that) and that most of the personalizations stuck. (I did have to redo the garage door remote, and I think there's something with the HUD I have to reenable.) The new sounds are interesting - I had been given a Q5 as a loaner and it has the same sound.

I was chatting again with the service manager, and she told me two interesting things. First is that Audi is doing a staged rollout of KD2* and that by October everyone should be eligible for it. Then when I mentioned that some people report their dealers are taking days to get it done, she said that the process requires excellent network connectivity of the box used to install the update, and that any network glitch will break the install. She commented that she's having their boxes connected by Ethernet for more reliability, but generally they don't have problems. She also mentioned that Audi is doing something to further speed up the install, and that later in the year it will be down to about 90 minutes.

I still need to test charging, as I've read some people have issues with that.

Hi,

is there any menu or app feature where I can check my charging history.

Found nothing so far. Wondering if such an easy feature is missing?

I'm also missing a diagram with a curve of the charging power over time.

KD2 made a major difference in the stability of the car. It seems like KD2* may not be an improvement but it’s hard to tell. Based on your experience with the new update, would you recommend going ahead with it?

KD3 is a ways off, looking like Q1 2027 now, but I thought I'd share a draft I've been working on for the eventual megathread. If you find any details about it, please add to the discussion. Once KD3 gets closer to a final release, I'll post an updated version as the final, pinned thread.

📌 MY25 Audi Q6 / SQ6 e-tron KD3 Software Update (Version 03.20.00/C) & What's Next

This megathread covers the upcoming KD3 software release (03.20.00/C) for 2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron vehicles.

🛠️ Key Technical Objectives for KD3

While KD2* (03.11.00/C) handles immediate driver-facing concerns like warning chimes and tailgate logic, KD3 (03.20.00/C) is designed as a deeper bus-level cleanup patch for persistent HCP (High Performance Computing) inter-module communication bugs:

• Drive System & Gateway Fault Clears (DTC P060C00): Resolves spurious drive system fault codes logged in control module J1313 (address 812C) that previously caused false warning lights without hardware failure (NHTSA TSB MC-11034695-0001).
• Pending Service Solutions (PSS) Resolution: Fulfills outstanding Audi PSS directives to clear occupant protection, camera-to-radar initialization, and driver assistance fault logs (NHTSA TSB MC-11034717-0001).
• Module Startup Synchronization: Fixes cold-boot timing misalignments between HCP modules that cause intermittent USB-C power drops, delayed MMI wake-ups, or muted amplifier output on startup (ElectricHasGoneAudi Patch Overview).
• Tailgate Latch & Sensor Refinements: Provides final software calibration for the J605 Tailgate Module to harmonize exterior mechanical latch resistance with motor torque (NHTSA Bulletin 06K2 Overview).
• HomeLink & Profile Persistence: Fixes underlying memory bus bugs causing garage door profiles, ambient lighting preferences, and seat/audio settings to drop from user profiles (ElectricHasGoneAudi Knowledge Exchange).
• Timer-Based Charging Communication: Refines AC/DC charging handshake protocols to prevent premature "Charging Terminated" errors on third-party wallboxes during scheduled off-peak charging sessions (ElectricHasGoneAudi Q6 e-tron Updates).

⚠️ Important Note: 2025 (03.xx) vs 2026/2027 (06.xx) Software Branches

There is often confusion regarding UI updates discussed in the media. Please note:

• MY2025 Vehicles (03.xx Branch): 2025 models operate on the 03.xx software tree. KD3 (03.20.00/C) is a platform stability and bug-fix update. It will not retroactively add the redesigned MMI graphic layout, full standstill one-pedal braking, or ChatGPT integration found on newer builds (ElectricHasGoneAudi Model Year Changes Guide).
• MY2026/2027 Vehicles (06.xx Branch): Newer production runs utilize the separate 06.xx software architecture tied to hardware revisions (ElectricHasGoneAudi MY2026+ Software Branch).

❓ FAQ: Will KD3 Enable Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates for Future Patches?

There has been widespread speculation across the community about whether KD3 acts as an "OTA enabler" for future major software releases:

• Workshop Requirement: KD3 (03.20.00/C) itself must be installed in person at the dealer via ODIS. Flashing the underlying HCP domain controllers requires the vehicle to be physically connected to a high-voltage workshop charger and diagnostic rig during the multi-hour process (NHTSA Service Action Bulletin 06K2).
• Future OTA Scope for MY2025: While the E3 1.2 architecture supports OTA for high-level software (infotainment apps, navigation map packages, and minor MMI patches), official service documentation indicates that deep bus-level firmware updates (such as ADAS, drive systems, and power electronics module logic) for MY2025 vehicles will continue to require dealer workshop visits rather than home OTA installations (ElectricHasGoneAudi Software Overview).

I only have 5K miles after year1 of leasing a 2025 Q6 Premium Quattro. Do I need to get a service done and do I need to do it at the dealership?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased Q6 2027 model from my local Audi dealership in the Caribbean.

For some reason they didn't and doesn't know how to activate Audi connect.

I got myAudi app (iOS) and made a request with Audi HQ to add my vehicle to my profile, which they did after verification. But they weren't able to activated anything else beyond that.

At the moment, I can get my Q6 to connect to my home WiFi, but can't get my user profile to prompt to add myAudi log in credentials.

As as result, I cannot use wireless CarPlay, no digital key, no App Store etc etc.

Audi dealership here is of no help, seems like I know more about the car and first customer to even get the myAudi app.

If anyone can help guide me/dealership with how to get the Audi connect enabled, and integrate myAudi profile to the vehicle id be greatful.

Thanks in advance. Please let me know if you require and further information, I'd be glad to share.

I just passed the one year mark and haven't tried EA chargers since. What will I need to do to continue using EA if I don't want to use a credit card at retail rate at each charge? I do have an EA Account for our Genesis GV70 (which comes with 3 years of free EA Charging!)

Hi everyone. I’ve had problems with this vehicle multiple times and I LOVE this car but I don’t love taking the car to the dealership for technical issues that are never ending and paying gas for a loaner car -___- (I get free charging at work).

If you have tried to go through the lemon law, did you go for a buyback or replacement? If it was a replacement, was it the same make, model and year of the vehicle? If it was a buyback, was the process easy? Just wondering for some steps on this.

Looking to lease my 3rd etron. I currently have a Q8 etron, 2024 and not the sport back model. Went to the dealer yesterday to lease the New Q6 etron Sportback premium plus Mrsp is $78k would only give me a $5000 discount with zero incentives not even a loyalty incentive.
