Dear fellows
In May i made a order of a Q4 and in july i noticed that i havent chosen audi drive select on the q4 50 version, i asked the dealership if the option could be added as it was just a 150 pound more , so most likely it didnt required hardware. But they said if i wanted to add that i needed to reset my order so delayind the car receival probably to 2022...
I was informed that i sould wait and see what could be done after then car arrival.
Now the car as arrived to dealarship it has the botton were drive select should be, it can be pressed but nothing happen.

does any of you fellows know how can i have it ?
Is it just software? or more hardware needs to be added ?

Anyone that is Audi specialist know that? cause here they just received some q4 and so far they dont have experience...

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I may be wrong, but I thought Drive select is standard across the Q4 range unless it was taken off with the chip shortages to get cars though the system. This would be an odd one to delete though.

This was a order Done in Portugal. The Button is there it can be pushed but no Light iluminates the “drive select” . Trully odd as i missed ticking the box for a 150£ OPtion on a 50000£ car and now it feels like i have bought expensive pants with no zipper…

If you configure the lowest spec car on the Audi website, Audi Drive Select is a standard fit option.

So it seems strange that you have the button - which aligns with it being equipped, but that it doesn't work.

On my current A5, you can change the drive mode either using the Drive Select buttons or through the MMI. Have you checked in the MMI if you can change the drive mode, which would suggest the button is faulty/not connected?

Hi,

That’s a real pain and amazing it’s not standard in Portugal. Let’s hope there’s a way it can be activated using software.
