Why doesn't the Audi Q3 have navigation?
2 Answers
Q3 doesn't have navigation unless it's the high-end model, including the Bluetooth phone buttons on the steering wheel which are non-functional. Currently, 4S stores can install a display screen with navigation by replacing the original one, but it should be produced by third-party manufacturers, not original equipment. You can switch back to the original interface. Additional information: 1. Principle: In-car navigation uses the vehicle's GPS (Global Positioning System) in conjunction with electronic maps. It conveniently and accurately informs drivers of the shortest or fastest route to their destination, serving as a good assistant for drivers. 2. Components: The parts that make up the vehicle positioning and navigation system include: navigable electronic maps; search and processing of map data; positioning module; map matching; route planning; path guidance; real-time map display module; human-machine interface; wireless communication.
I wonder why the Audi Q3 doesn't come with navigation. It's mainly because the entry-level model is designed to save costs, allowing the car price to be lower and more attractive to budget-conscious friends. For example, when I bought it, I found that navigation wasn't included in the standard configuration—you had to pay extra for the MMI navigation system. Many car manufacturers do this now because GPS modules and software licensing fees aren't cheap. Instead, they promote CarPlay and Android Auto, which allow you to connect your phone and use Google Maps—convenient and updated quickly. If I didn't have navigation, the first thing I'd check is whether I bought the base model. I recommend everyone check the official website's configuration list before buying a car to clearly see what's standard and what's optional, avoiding the pitfall I initially fell into. If all else fails, you can always install an aftermarket navigation system—it's much cheaper. In short, it's all about making your money go further.
