Where is the glove compartment switch in the older Audi A6?
2 Answers
The glove compartment button is located on the right side of the center console display. There are two relatively large buttons—one is for turning off the display, and the other is for opening the glove compartment. The smaller button on top is the display switch, while the larger button below is the glove compartment switch. Regarding the throttle: 7-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), smooth gear shifting, light throttle response, and strong engine burst power. Performance-wise: The suspension is tuned for comfort, with precise steering wheel feedback and excellent road feel. The car maintains very stable body roll when cornering. Interior: Features a tech-forward design with a driver-centric center console layout. The door handles include dedicated cup holders. Equipped with a multifunctional media display with good touch sensitivity and haptic feedback. The foldable display and MMI system with handwriting input enhance practicality and ease of use.
I've been driving an old Audi A6 for ten years, and the glove compartment switch is located at the lower right front of the compartment, near the door side, as a small round button. A gentle press pops it open, and the design is quite user-friendly with an easily accessible position, unlike some cars where it's hidden too discreetly. Once, I stuffed too many items inside and closed it tightly, causing the button to jam. A light pry with the key loosened it. The Audi switch is generally durable, but it's advisable not to overload it with heavy items pressing against the button to avoid malfunctions. When cleaning the glove compartment, wipe around the button to prevent dust buildup that could affect its operation. If the button stops working entirely, it might be due to a worn-out spring or poor contact—usually, replacing the button is enough and doesn't cost much.
