    New S4 owner. New to Audi. LOTS to learn...

    Hi gang,

    I'm certainly not new to high performance cars but this is my first Audi. The local dealer had a 2015 S4 Prestige Edition that never sold so I managed to get a pretty good deal on it yesterday. I don't have a lot of time with the car yet but:

    - It has the smoothest transmission of any car I've ever owned. By a long way.

    - It has the best headlights of any car I've ever owned.

    There is a LOT to learn and it isn't always easy to figure out. Things I had to dig up on forums:

    - How to stream music from an Iphone. I kept trying to get it to work over Bluetooth. It would work, but there was no way to navigate the albums/playlists, etc from the car. I kept having to do it from the phone. Finally found a post saying I needed the MMI Connect App which actually sends it over WiFi. Got that working.

    - How to send a destination from the MMI Connect App to the car. It kept saying, "Successfully Sent" but nothing happened on the car nav. I finally found a post describing how to find the destination under Nav/Route Guidance/Online Destinations/Find Destination from MyAudi Account. Sure enough it was right there...

    - Took a few tries to get the Homelink to work with the garage door opener but that seems fine now.

    I think that's about it so far. Oh, I still need t "train" the voice command system...

    -Charles

    Welcome, and congrats on the purchase. There is a ton of information on here, so before you ask, at least do a good search or two. Cheers.

    Congrats!! I just bought mine last week, new to Audi and coming off 10 years of ownership on the same Mazda6. This car is amazing!!!! I'm still learning things as I go, but I have to say my favorite thing so far is feeling the sport diff push you around corners, that is badass.. Enjoy!
