I did a search on A3 Easter Eggs and I was surprised not to find any. List any you know of...I just got my A3 today, so I'm curious what people have found so far.

if you turn the temp knob on the hvac and push -/+ at the same time, the temp will change quicker.there's a flip down sun visor between your mirror and the windshield. holding down auto on the hvac with sync the temp for driver and passenger. info such as ac settings and radio settings are stored either in the key or the car. if your gf/wife has her own key, everytime she puts her key in the ignition, it'll remember her settings the last time she drove it even if you drove it inbetween with your own key and changed all the settings.

If you have auto wipers ON, put your car in Reverse and the rear windshield wiper will swipe once.On 07's the Check option in the DID shows Oil Temp. If you lock the doors while you're in the car, when the last person leaves, the doors lock. When you turn your car off, the wipers shift their blades every other time, so they don't get stuck in one position (on one side).

The rear wiper will swipe even if you don't have auto wipers. As long as your wipers are on intermittent, normal or high, the rear wiper will swipe when you put the car in reverse.Matt

This may not qualify as an Easter Egg, but with the nav I like how you can turn the knob to choose your route (and see it on the map) after you enter a destination in.

I forgot how it's done, but i have read it on here before. An extra NAV screen that gives you more Nav info. You hold one button or something like that, anyone have any idea?

Anyone ever hear of a pre-heater for heating inside the car on cold mornings.A buddy with a GTI said that he had to get it activated with VAG-COM but. It wasn't something he was supposed have but was there. It's been awhile since I talked to the guy but that's what I remember him telling me. He seemed to know a lot about cars so I assumed there is some truth to it. Who knows??

Does the A3 have the ability to do window "rollup/ rolldown" using the remote? If so, can it be activated with the vag-com? I know the A4's have that ability.

Turn ignition off and turn wipers on. Wipers will stop halfway up the windshield so you can pull them off the windshield without banging the hood.Unlock the doors with the key or remote and the dome light comes on. Not sure if this one is convenience package or auto-headlight only.
Free, Cheap, or Easy

I noticed the button on the side of the driver door. It looks like it disables the car alarm when you get the car towed. Otherwise, tilting the car will set it off.

That information is in the manual I believe. But your right it is a tilt switch for disabling the alarm when you are being towed

I don't understand why they don't have this, I had a 5th Gen Golf FSI and you could do it from it's remote. Isn't the A3 suppose to be more 'prestige' than that Golf?

A3s can do this - it's just not enabled by default. Probably some sort of liability thing.
