Audi Q3 navigation system is unavailable because the Q3, if not the high-end model, does not come with the factory-installed navigation system, hence displaying the navigation system as unavailable. Here is some relevant information: 1. In-car navigation system: The in-car navigation system, equipped with GPS global satellite positioning functionality, allows drivers to know their exact location anytime while driving. Features like automatic voice navigation and optimal route search enable shortcut routes and smooth driving, integrating office and entertainment functions for efficient travel. 2. Composition of the car navigation system: One part consists of the GPS receiver and display device installed in the car; the other part is the computer control center, with the two parts connected via positioning satellites.

I've driven quite a few cars, and the 2021 Audi Q3 indeed didn't come with built-in navigation in many versions when it left the factory. This is mainly Audi's cost-saving design strategy, with standard configurations often replacing it with CarPlay and Android Auto to avoid adding hardware and increasing the price. From my experience, phone mirroring handles navigation just fine, with real-time route updates, making it much smarter than traditional in-car systems. Driving with Google Maps directly displayed on the screen feels pretty great. Honestly, pre-installed navigation feels a bit outdated now, as Audi focuses more on fuel efficiency and interior space optimization. If you insist on factory navigation, you'll need to opt for a higher trim or pay extra for a software upgrade, which might cost a few thousand bucks. It doesn't affect daily driving much, but remember to download map packs or connect to a WiFi hotspot to ensure stable signals for safer and more reliable use.
