When is your other vlogs, like another channel coming?
buy e63 or m5
I like men
Dude, that car farts thunderbolts while you drive. Who cares about USB or slow back up camera? It's missing a rocket launcher on the roof and gatling guns on the sides 😂
I think this generation of Audi interior has aged really well. Besides the lack of CarPlay which you can add aftermarket, it has everything you can want and the layout is both luxurious and easy to understand
I think it was the peak of audi. From the D3 A8 to this gen RS7 their interiors were imo much better than the competition
Yes, you can upgrade the mmi the one that facelift rs had
The 12V to USB adapters are $5...
Have a 15 RS5 upgraded the monitor to a 12.3" with carplay and android auto. 👌🏽
@@Dutty2zero1 that’s the way to do it
That car has 10 year old tech which in the car world is like a century
Currently looking at a 2017 rs7 can’t wait to finalize the purchase on it!
I have a fully loaded 2012 A7 including the amazing B&O sound system and the RS7 is still my dream car. Maybe someday. The adapter cable under the armrest is for directly connecting your phone to the MMI system. Yours has a micro-USB connector (which is ridiculous) while mine came with the old Apple 30 pin connector (equally ridiculous). Thankfully, there was a short adapter cable sold at the time that went from the 30 pin connector to an Apple lightning connector so every iPhone I have had since has been able to directly connect to the MMI system. I still use Bluetooth mostly but that can be painfully slow to connect sometimes. Still, for a car that is now 12 years old (in-service date was November 2011), it has aged incredibly well.
Your uploads have really been great since you were open about being burned out a little bit. I really enjoy the content you put out. Interesting vlogs and the S65 is such a cool and unique pick for a car TH-camr. Keep up the great work 💪🏻
For the brake squeak I’d recommend getting some carbon ceramic brake pads from r1 concepts, they have some good brakes for a good price, fixed the squeaking on my car and cut down on brake dust too
Yep, and they don't eat the rotors like stock pads do.
Always an entertaining review. This does make me want to go look at an Audi dealership lot for their innovations.
You can buy the facelift RS MMI system what has 5x faster chip and better resolution. The upgrade costs around 800 dollars
I love this car😍 the sound is amazinggg. Also love the c8 rs7 it looks so freaking cool, and with and downpipes and a tune they are monsters.
I have an A6 with similar package and I really like the comfort seats with massage function. Have you tried the passenger seat just to rule out that there might be something wrong with the driver seat? For the fuel filler cap you need to replace the unit which is attached to the emergency release. I think it is called throttle control element (4L0 862 153 C) and it solved my problem. There are videos showing how to do that and it took me 15 minutes. I also installed some additional USB-ports but I never use them. B&O lacks a bit of deep bass but otherwise crisp and clear sound. Head up display is a good feature and Night Vision are maybe a bit overrated and works best spotting cyclist in cities.
The part you need costs only about £20 and is the central locking actuator not the full door. Get z screw driver or release the latch and remove the central locking actuator. Not the whole door release. The A class has the same problem.
For the gas cap that isn’t opening you don’t need to get a new cap but change the motor. My son bought a Golf 7 recently with the same issue. My buddy is VW mechanic and changed the motor within 15”.
that issue with the fuel cap happens to Mercedes too, i have a C43 and had two times a replacement of the electric motor. Same problem as on the RS7, nothing happend after tapping the cap and the rescue unlock is even more unreachable.
I had a 2016 audi a6 interior and mmi is similar to your rs7...the mmi is updated and was pretty quick. The one huge annoying thing was the HVac controls need to be a rocket scientist to turn fans high or low, even when they are not on auto they have a mind of its own fans go max speed even if you turn them down once in the drive gradually goes back to max speed...super annoying.
It really does - I think it does something with your drive speed - similar to the audio control that gets louder or lower based off speed. I turned that off (the audio) one.
You can code video while driving on that car for sure. 3g+ systems which yours has allows that if coded. Used a Carly on my 2014 S6 to do it too. It’s the 2g, 2g+, and 3g systems where you cannot.
Bro he knows nothing
Every Audi I’ve ever owned, had squeaky brakes! My E-tron has squeaky brakes! 😂
Shit stock pads, too hard. I got my RS7 with 45,000 kms on it and the rotors were already chewed out. $8000 AUD to replace. I went with Hawk ceramic pads and haven't looked back. Very little wear on the rotors and plenty of pad life 5 years later.
IDK if you did already or if its been done, but these cars come with a turbo oil screen that often gets clogged up, and most just remove it completely. Just make sure to use performance oil, no crappy stuff that clumps, and keep up with oil changes. Other than that, wtf! No USB ports? I wanted a D4.5 S8 Plus so badly and I just googled it to see if it also lacks ports and it does, come up Audi !! 😂
Mike, you can buy an Audi AMI to USB-female cable, for in your center armrest console. Then you have phone integration with your MMI for playing music etc (no CarPlay) and charging phone option.
Thanks.
I am personally a AMG guy. But I love this car u have. the engine the interior the look the sound ... perfect
show us your amg!
you been working out man ? Buff Swede haha love your video's as always ! been here for a longtime
Autovlog Great Video if I owned an RS7 I would definitely hate those things as well and I hope some of them can be fixed
Hey Autovlog. If you're wanting USB then you will need to upgrade the MMI system. The USB port only came with the generation of MMI where Android Auto or Apple Car Play can be used. I would look to retrofit it
@autovlog That adapter plug in your RS7 is a mini usb, or more specifically Mini-A USB. They were used on a lot of older cell phones and PDAs.
And there are adapters for it to put a regular USB.
Yes, it was a USB adapter, but not a Mini-A. It was actually a Mini-B.
What would you use an usb port for? Music? You can stream it via Bluetooth. Apple car play, wasn’t introduced until next gen, so you can buy a dongle for 100$ and you’ll have wireless Apple car play and android auto.
*Amazing car absolutely love it!!!*
Mike, the adapter you had in your hand at the start of your review was actually a Mini-B USB adapter.
Mike, I have a w205 with 120k miles that i've been told has piston ring issues.
Thoughts on dealing with mercedes? I personally don't feel like a modern Merc should be doing this.
I had a 13 S6 for nine years didn’t really have any of those problems luckily but the hood latch would do that exact same thing in the winter time and not snap down or act like it was then i would start driving it would pop up super annoying lubricant would help
If your massaging seat feels weak, try sitting in the passenger seat. If the passenger seat has a stronger, better massager, then your driver seat air compressor is worn out and needs replaced. 👍
You can put an usb port at that adapts also you can connect the phone with car for phone calls and music using bluetooth , you just has to know how to do it
I miss your Audi R8. It was speced really nice and sounded amazing!
You have a USB port - it’s just not the most frequent type:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
Likely you can get an adapter from USB Mini-B connector to USB-A. Assuming voltage is correct 🙏🏼
Love my 16’ RS7. I have a DS1, Fi exhaust w, DP’s, carbon fiber intake, the car is a 4 door monster. I have sport seats with no massager. Luckily it does have the USB port, however I have a 2013 Allroad and I have to deal with that stupid module that you showed, it is very annoying and seems to disconnect often if someone calls my phone.
nice Apple Mac startup sound right after your USB rant...no Apple CarPlay is deal breaker now, but even back then, I had to have something for my iPhone!
I hope you’ve changed the turbo oil screens to prevent blown turbos from oil starvation? - very common on pre 2018 models of the 4.0 Audi twin turbo engine.
I owned a 2018 Audi RS6 performance. (I live in New Zealand the RS6 wagon was never released in the USA) I sold it as it had too much lag and didn’t actually feel that fast. I replaced it with a 2014 E63s with the twin turbo 5.5 M157 engine. It has much more personality and feels much faster and more exciting. Audi RS products have zero personality out of the box IMO
Audi OZ did a factory recall for the oil screens 12 months ago. Relieved I didn't pay for it.
It must be due some more upgrades soon,seems like it hasn’t had many
Should’ve gotten an E63 with the 5.5 liter.
'14 E63 AMG owner reporting here!
I have an Audi and the repairs have been horrific, I will never have another. That being said, the Audi looks SO much better than any AMG (imo.)
youre on drugs. Most Audis just look like modifed jettas
Sorry to hear. It can be a lucky dip with Audis. Nothing but problems with my A5, but the RS7 has been exceptional. Not sure I'll buy German again. Having worked for a German competitor, they really gouge the customers.
I am an owner of a RS7 too.
What i hate is the fact, that Audi doesn't continue the contract with Google. I would love to use the Google Maps!
What i also don't like is the volume. In the morning i just wanna have low volume music. But "volume 2" is a little too loud and "volume 1" is too silent. I had a RS5 B8 before and it was not like that. I had a B&O system in both cars.
The moveable spoiler turns off when you get faster than 130 km/h, which means that it goes down when you go lower than 80 km/h.
It's obvious you are an AMG purist. Dump the Audi and go all in on the 2024 AMG.
VAG problem. Hold the door inn and lock and undlock till it pops. Can pop out after u push it ones and lock and undlock may times
The description of the massaging seat sent me rolling 😂
An E63 with the m156 engine would be a nice trade for the rs7
e63 with m157 would be way better
M156 = C class M157 = E class, the m156 in the e just isn’t the same as it in the c.@@HorsepowerTherapy2
@@list3ningcalmly796 agreed
I like how you just took over that road😂👍🏽
14’ RS7, the backup camera takes like 2-3 seconds and drives me insane. Also when you open the hatch and a gallon of water falls into the car.
How do you think the RS7 compares to a similar generation CLS63?
at work we have an , i think 08, audi q5. the thing that annoys me on it, is when you put it in reverse, the camera comes on, it will not go off until you are going 7 mph forward. makes no since to me, i have tested this many times. sitting for a few mins, and every time, it will not go off until you are going 7pmh.
Try hitting the media button or home to change the screen back
Nice SOUNDS!!!
Rs7 looks nice, Respect😊
Idk if you can compare but only car I had with massage seats was my 2019 Lincoln mkz and in my opinion was pretty good in that car
I love my S6 massage seats, trying to figure out if it's worth bumping to an RS7, they seem too similiar.
That audi adapter is one you can change out for a USB one. My 2012 vw polo had this, it came with line 3 different leads you can change out. Terrible design if you ask me. Glad they no longer have them in newer models
Awesome whip man! I'm looking at a 2015 rs7 prestige with 93k miles for 35k what do you think and what should I be concerned about these cars with high mileage? Will be my first luxury sports car.
I have an ‘18.. these engines are pretty bullet proof. You’ll mainly have to worry about electrical things with high mileage. Just make sure the oil screen recalls were done so you don’t end up with a big turbo replacement bill. I believe you can call an Audi dealership and provide them with the VIN and they’ll let you know if it’s been done.
The fuel door isnt an audi problem. Its an VAG Problem. Also on Seat Leons, golfs and octavias
VW group.. all the same shit..
Amazing how fast these cars drop in value when they are a few years old and off warranty. M5 is same way but a better performance car imo
Everybody knows that German "build quality" only extends to performance, panel gaps and interior seating. They are all money pits after a few years. The used market confirms this.
I have a check engine light on in my Mercedes. Is that Carly actually good?
Apparently there was a modern Audi where you had to take the whole engine out for basic repairs I think about that a lot
The 2024 is amazing. Never had an audi but I've had a porsche panamera 2016.
Lol, I remember Matt Farah once complained about Audi and their lack of USB ports.
Why don't you get a classic AMG like an E55 or C32-55? Would be a nice change from 'modern' cars
😂😂😂
YES ! 1000%
Should’ve got an S8. Much much better car than the RS7 in my opinion, especially with build quality.
A7 C7-gen has a suberb build quality.
“Squeky brakes” lol
i used to have a A7 and the right rear window was skweeeeking i use. horrible annoying nois.. i got a 3 years newer rs7 and there to only the right rear window make same insane nois. is the dood in audi factory installing this door a failure in his job???
C
I bought Carly,but it requires a subscription, not what was advertised. Shocked you would recommend
Hey, AutoVlog that adapter in the arm rest is the adapter fro your to work with your Mmi.
Some cars just don't make people happy by its performance or problems.
Awesome video
Awesome video.
Have you tried rebooting the MMI, there's a few videos on TH-cam on how to do so 🤔
This guys knows nothing
I wouldn’t mind seeing another AMG on the channel perhaps trade ?! 🔥🔥
Looking bug dude! 💪
Lubricant on a brake disc sounds like a smart idea.
squeaky brakes are at the top of my list... I have a 2017 S7 Prestige..Love everything about the car (straight piped as well lol) its just the annnoying squealing pulling up to every stop sign. seems to do it more the more you drive and the hotter they get. Anyways if you find a solution let me know? Ive been through 3 sets of pads trying to get it to stop with NO luck, ceramic, semi, metallic nothing has worked, and the brake dust on these cars is insane!!!
Try a GSF next! But you'd struggle with your type of content because it wont break down as much 😂
Interesting video!!!
Over time the audi's just don't hold up and are very expensive to repair, the brake noise is terrible as they age.
why the gas cap is on that wood stick ? Looks funny haha
This car is bananas! 🔥
My older Benz has no USB either. Just have to use a cigarette lighter to USB adapter, but it charges so slow!
USB in my '14 benz is charging super slow too
@@Jimrock95 bruh, it's ridiculous! Might as well just keep one of those powerful USB power bank battery chargers in the car.
Would love to see a W213 E63S AMG in your channel!!! Perhaps time to trade the RS7 for one!!!
Considering that 2014 that was not common😄 but i get what your saying tho. I hate that about my 2011 mercedes but i understand. I’m glad for the aftermarket interface for Apple CarPlay. Thanks to that i have apple CarPlay and android auto in a 2011
I had a 2012 s5 with the same issues plus it was very uncomfortable for distances
Kontakten du visade upp är en USB Mini-B, det finns adaptrar att köpa.
10 things I hate about your outfits:
Dad shoes
Dad shorts
Dad sunglasses…
Aye! was this filmed off of Heneryton rd?
You've been hyping that car non-stop. And now suddenly this?! Get a grip.
Does the Carly clear check engine light on dash?
i had 2015 genesis g80, and it had way more advanced tech features then this. yeah your right audi need pick up there game in some areas of car features
It’s been 4 years😱😱. It still feels like a few months.
Thats called a mini USB, very common in older digital cameras and bluetooth speakers.
I have 2016 Audi S6 and I love it !
to get full access of the carly features you must pay 150 euros
"What the hell is this adapter thing?" and shows an usb cable 😂 I guess that mini usb to audi mmi adapter was meant to play movies from an external DVD player etc. But yes no usb sockets on any of this gen Audis.
I have this exact same Audi and the amount of times we have to repair it is mental. The air suspension we haven’t replaced yet. But we should be we don’t want to because it is so expensive. And! The brakes easily squeal. And it it annoying. And the stupid key thing on the driver side came off! AND WE DONT KNOW WHERE IY WENT. ITS CHEAP
Why does it not have rs7 seats? Is it a option in U.S. market
Cool Honda Crosstour, bro😂
My 2014 s4 just likes to stay on when I throw it in drive 😂
Why is the theme song to ThanksKilling playing at the beginning of this?
