Welcome inside the 2022 Audi RS3 saloon i'm at Coulsdon Marshall Audi please visit them if you
want to check out an audi i'm going to show you around the 2020 RS3 infotainment system
and show you how everything works in this video okay let's start off
with the basics this is the main screen of the rs3 infotainment system as you can see there are three
pages at the bottom here we've got our home page as such which has got all the widgets on it and
you can have the radio your telephone your maps and you can adjust these and change what it shows
and you can actually interact with this as well which is a very interesting way of doing things
and you can also set a home address and then you've got our first page of menu items
radio media telephone navigation android auto or carplay which is wireless and automatically
connects and in this the launch edition you can also charge it wirelessly as well
car settings favorites general settings help users messages calendar news weather legal purchases
purchases lets you add features to the car if it's missing features this is a very well specced car
so that's unlikely to be the case here so let's just go through these quickly because most of
these are pretty obvious and very self-explanatory radio will take you into your radio and you'll be
able to see all the radio stations and it's got dab digital radio and you can swap between dab
between fm am and search and last stations and adjust various settings on there
media will take you to whatever media you're using so you can have bluetooth as your source you can
have a usb device you can have an external device streaming services as well this is now connected
to android auto so that is why it will not be showing anything connected obviously you can go
into the settings here and adjust that as well you can have online radio in high bit rates so
you use less data as well also worth noting down the side here i didn't mention this before we have
our home radio music phone and navigation shortcut buttons you can move these around by holding down
and pressing on them and adjusting their position same with the information on the main screen
as well you can move that around exactly the same way so that's how you adjust that so
next we're going to go to telephone telephone is exactly what you would expect it's your telephone
obviously you can access this through android auto and apple car play
as well and then if we go over to navigation so navigation will open up audi's navigation system
and you can search by destinations location you can search by typing in where you want to go
points of interest you can also search with google as well and you can tell google where
you want to go and it will basically do it and i can make it type in with this touch screen
star
bucks
cks and that's a miracle it actually understood my writing because i can barely read my rating
and then obviously i can navigate to it as well so it's using google to get that information
that's quite handy it means you have a bit of extra information you will be able to get as well
part of audi's connected services which is handy to have you can turn the traffic
on and off and of course one thing which i've always loved about audis is
you can change the map settings so you can have satellite map and the satellite map will then
appear in the middle of the screen as well i've always loved that satellite map you can have it
in the middle of the virtual cockpit and have it full screen which i think looks fantastically cool
so that's our navigation we've got our car settings so this is the most interesting area
we've got our audi drive select and we've got our rs3 options we've got efficiency comfort auto and
dynamic now there was no efficiency mode on the 8v rs3 if you check out my comparison video on
that that only had comfort auto and dynamics so this has got efficiency in extra mode
this also has rs individual rs performance and rs talk rear so the settings here on the drive select
they're automatically filled out you can't adjust them auto basically lets you go between driving
comfortably and then when you want to speed up it gives you more performance dynamic is
obviously much more dynamic but it's designed to work with the roads you're driving on whereas if
you go into rs performance that's designed for the race track and so you get a much much more focused
driving experience the suspension gets tighter and harder and it turns off the pre-sense which means
you have less safety features and you also get an acceleration measurement so you can measure
zero to 60. you can adjust the settings on rs performance you can change your suspension between
dynamic and comfortable steering comfortable balance dynamic and the stability control on
or dynamic there's also a new mode rs individual which gives you a tiny bit more control and this
allows you to adjust the rs torque splitter as well so you can see if the car is going to slip a
bit when you go around corners allows you just to drive system suspension steering engine sound and
again with the stability control and then we've got our rs talk rear which will literally let you
drift around corners which you can turn on by pressing that button and it warns you about that
as well and then on the virtual copy it does say talk rear in the middle there that's drive select
let's go into the rs monitor and then if you can hear also the car it sounds louder inside as well
so we've got our rs monitor which shows our car temperature the engine oil the coolant the gear
oil and it shows it by a color coding so it's saying that the coolant is warm and everything
else is cold and it's very cold today 2.5 degrees according to the car here we've got our g-meter
and we've got our tire pressure loss indicator which only works when the car is being driven
so those are your rs performance modes then we've got our efficiency assist this will basically help
you try and get as much efficiency out of the car as you can by giving you messages about slowing
down and turning off the heating we've got our ac controls which turns auto recirculation on and off
we've got our lights and vision so this is our exterior lighting
our automatic headlights entry exit lights our background lighting which is our ambient lighting
and in this car you can have the little aluminium inlays or metal inlays have lights in them as well
as well as the door cards and the center console bit as well and you can have a choice between
solar which are pre-determined impulse maritime changing for audi drive select and then individual
which lets you adjust the surfaces and the contours of the areas as well and you've got
30 options here of colors and the same with the contours you can adjust the brightness as well
to whatever you want and if we go back out of here you can see again brightness on and off very very
simple to use and you've got really cool ambient lighting as a result you've got your rain sensor
which will automatically turn on the windscreen wipers which seems quite a good thing to on
if you ask me your parking gator this car has automatic parking you can however just when the
sensors are on or off and you can adjust the entertainment when you're listening as well
we've got our driver assist settings so this car has a driver assistant pack it's got a lot of
assistant features speed warning it will let you know if you go too fast adaptive cruise assist
which will predict and slow down with the speed limit and adapt to the router head
very clever more processing power in this car than the previous generation distance warnings
lane departure warning audi precents emergency assist hazard alerts rest accommodation so again
emergency assist it warns you if it detects driving activity audi presents again it will
help you swerve if you need to swerve it will let you know if somebody's pulled out suddenly
or cast up to a certain of you or a castle in front of you and you need to break suddenly
and then we've got our lane departure warning vibration warning so that's the driver assist
settings and service hold assist there's no hold button in the middle here
so you can turn it on and there central locking car information
audi connect key which is very cool which lets you basically turn the car on and off with the
audi connect key i really like this this is not on other uk cars it's only on the launch edition
call up security code you can bring the screen code i'll show you that because we don't want to
give that away time pressure lost indicator wipe it change position so it basically stays
up when you want to change the wintry wipers and then we can go over to settings which is then
display and brightness so this now allows me to adjust the head up display
the height what is displayed in it do i want the navigation do i want extra information on here
brightness rotation all there for you ready to go virtual cockpit
let's have a look now at the virtual copy setting so let's go to rs sport mode
and this is the round dials on the rs3 and on the round dials i can scroll in like that
using the button steering wheel i can go full screen we can get
can we get the whole world like we used to do on the 8v i think we can get the whole world
how far back will it go let's see yes we can get the whole world
we can also scroll through phone numbers notes miley etc and go full screen
like this and then if i tap on the side here i can also bring up my map information
so you do have a lot of control here and configurability up here now this is the rs sport
mode this is a round dial mode lots of people are used to let's go into the rs performance mode now
so we're changing to our performance mode so now this mode has the boomerang style design in the
infotainment system and you can see here and again you can make this full screen as you just saw
and again i can scroll through everything just like before no problems whatsoever
and i can also again adjust what's on the side here with the map so lots of configurability
here if we go over to our computer i can then actually change what's shown on the side here
so i can have my sports displays so you have a tire pressure on this side of my g-meter
i can have my reduced display if i want to which is just that in the middle there or i can go back
to my onboard computer so i have the ability to control that and choose there what i want
now the next thing i can do is so you get automatic activation of rs display and layout
which will happen when you put into that mode but if we go into rs performance mode you now get the
runway design now i really like this design lots of people online do not like this but i do like it
and it works just like before i can still have my sports displays i can still have my onboard
computer i can still have my google maps but i've got this cool runway design here i really like
the configurability of the audi virtual cockpit i think it is the best there is if i'm honest and on
the rs3 the first rs car with so many different options here that you can use and can work it's
really quite exciting so that is a virtual cockpit in the rs3 let's put it into torque rear mode and
you can see now it says torque rear and it turns off the stability control as well i just wanted to
show you that because it's been hard to show that any other way i hope you enjoyed this video on
the 2022 audi rs3 again big thank you to marshall cools and audi please give them a visit there's a
lot more to come on the channel so stay subscribed and like this video for more thank you very much
