    @knight2425 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can only imagine the reason the RS3 come so differently spec around the world is either shortage of parts or just trying to get them out to customers quicker. We so lucky in Australia that our RS models have always come highly spec’d and we haven’t been able to get base models RS so we get pretty much everything thrown on it with only a handful of options like the carbon pack, rs design pack, sunroof and choice between the 2 black wheels, that’s pretty much it and everything else comes standard. I would think stuff like 360 degree camera could be fitted for you guys latter on as there will surely be forums out there with people doing it but the rs design pack not available sucks for you. Maybe if you held off your order until next batch is available in the UK then it might be an option Audi give you

    • @TechInTheCar
      @TechInTheCar  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree about retrofitting the 360 camera but it will not be a cheap option as you would have to get the other 3 cameras (front and both mirrors) fitted and wired and then reprogram the MMI system. If anything I think changing the wheel and adding the design pack flourishes will be easier and cheaper (excluding changing the seats and seat belts of course).

    Good video.
    I'm seriously considering an RS3 as a last gen S3 driver. I'm forced to go carbon black as it's the only way I can see to get the extra black spoiler on the hatch (my wife has a similar spoiler on her S1 and it looks fab). I also prefer the flat bottom steering wheel...shame I can't get it with auto cruise control as I've got both these things on my S3. I also have wireless charging..strange that it's not standard on the new car. Like probably all UK customers I'm shocked that they're not giving us the coloured stitching option..that's a box I would have ticked. The latest RS3 looks like a real step up on the chassis and I'm so glad they've hung in there with the 5 pot...I just wish Audi UK would speak to their customers more and give us some obvious options. 👍🏻😎

    360 camera was a secondary benefit for me, I’d rather they would give an option of removing the assistance pack and adding a flat bottomed wheel as an option.
