Are Audi Center Consoles the Same?
2 Answers
Audi center consoles are not the same. Function of the car center console system: The car center console is the area that controls the vehicle's air conditioning, audio, and other comfort and entertainment devices. The car center console includes the central control door lock system, allowing the driver to control the opening and closing of all vehicle doors and the window lift system. Features of the car center console system: The central control door lock system primarily has three functions: central control, speed control, and individual control. The driver can control all door locks, and when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the doors automatically lock. Other doors have independent switches, allowing for individual control.
As a veteran Audi driver with years of experience, I can confidently tell you that the center console systems are definitely not identical. From the A4 to Q7 and e-tron, each model has distinct differences in center console design and functionality. For example, the 2010 A6 I drove had densely packed buttons that offered intuitive operation, while the 2022 Q5 switched to a large touchscreen with fast response but prone to accidental touches. In terms of usage habits, veteran drivers may prefer the reassuring feel of physical buttons, while younger users embrace the high-tech new interfaces. Audi always introduces new elements when updating models, such as voice control or virtual cockpits. It's best to test drive several models before purchasing to assess the center console compatibility.
