Head up display 2025 new RS3 Sports Hatch

[bjwarner]

Can anyone please share how to get speed limit content on the head up display. Thank you

In Australia? I don’t think you can, there doesn’t seem to be any traffic sign recognition (not in my MY8.5 at least) at all, which surprised me as we seem to have everything else. Not sure if you see anything when navigating using the inbuilt system?

Do you see them in the instrument cluster?

Wifey says she's never seen any speed limit info on her RSQ3, but does get roadworks, petrol stations etc.

EDIT: I have taken ownership of a new RS3 since this post and can confirm speed content is available in Australia. See my post further down.



Check to see if this audi video applies. To be fair it is from Audi USA. I found it on youtube. Not sure if the MMI options in Australia are available as per the video but at least it gives you a reference. If the options for traffic signs aren't there (as per display contents around the 39 sec mark of video), it probably isn't available here as the previous responder mentioned.

Anyone with a fairly new purchase RS3 get Android Auto / CarPlay directions in the HUD at all?
If you do, what version MMI software are you running?

 

[Seriac]

I have an MY26 RS3. No issues for me. My build date is September 2025.

To be sure, to be sure...
First swipe down on your MMI and tap this icon for head up display.


Make sure display contents is selected on and Press the arrow on the right.


Make sure navigation display is set to Manoeuvres or Always.

Hey Presto.


And if you still have issues. Here are my software versions.



Hope this helps.

Richard.

Hey Richard, thanks for that, just checking, are you in Australia?

Mine is a May 25 build, I have software version 4318, I have my HUD set to Always, I don’t get traffic sign display either. Strangely, when I checked with Audi a few months ago about Traffic Sign recognition, I was told it wasn’t available here in Oz

Hey Richard, thanks for that, just checking, are you in Australia?

Mine is a July 25 build, I have software version 4318, I have my HUD set to Always, I don’t get traffic sign display either. Strangely, when I checked with Audi a few months ago about Traffic Sign recognition, I was told it wasn’t available here in Oz

I am in Australia. Traffic sign recognition is not an issue for me. Shows up in the head up display. Those pics above were taken on my way home from work yesterday. Also shows up Traffic signs on the dash when I scroll down on the left haptic thumb controller on steering wheel (No, I don't have a scroll wheel, its haptic). I think furthest bottom selection is traffic signs from memory.

Ordered something like
DATE/TIME
CONSUMPTION
SHORT TERM MEMORY
LONG TERM MEMORY
LANE GUIDANCE
TRAFFIC SIGNS

Edit...yep


I feel your issue is being explained away from a problem they don'twant to deal with.

Make sure connectivity settings are on for over the air updates etc.

Worst case ask if they can update the MMI.

Early morning. Time to head back to work. .

Let us know how you go.

Good luck,
Richard

Thanks for the details - I have my first service next week, so I'll ask about an update then

(also, just for clarity, my car was actually a May build 2025)

 

[tb123]

Ok, just to update this, had my car serviced today and mentioned a few issues I had with my MMI, they checked the versions and did an update to Version 4853 for me. Good news is that I got the AA Nav in the HUD, bad news is no traffic sign info, I’m guessing that maybe some coding or another module not related to the TSB may need updating for that. I really only wanted the Nav info so that’s turned out well for me. Next time I might ask if it’s possible to do the traffic signs etc.

Something else I noticed both before and after, in the HUD settings screen, I only have normal text for the RS activation, not the RS graphic shown above.

 

[Seriac]

Sort of a win, I suppose. .

I have no idea why Australian delivered vehicles would differ from one another.

We don’t have to tick the options that the US, UK and Europe have to. They're either supplied as standard to Australia (such as the technology pack- with head up display) or as in the case of Vorsprung edition and bucket seats as an example, not an option here.

We have options like Carbon Fibre package, Dynamic pack, optional wheels. Even the Panoramic sunroof is standard. We have to option it out as a no cost option.

With head up display with speed , navigation and assistance information... being standard in Australia, as per the Aussie specification guide, how is it that I have traffic signs recognition but your car doesn't? It's not an option.

Unless it has to do with the build date? Hmm.

 

[tb123]

Agreed, our cars are essentially ‘fully loaded’ technology wise and only really a couple of cosmetic options available. I’m not sure if the lack of traffic sign recognition is a marketing decision or a functional one.

This is the response that I received when I enquired about it.

Thank you again for your patience while we investigated your enquiry regarding the availability of Traffic Sign Recognition and Traffic Light Recognition on the 2025 Audi RS3 Sportback.

We’ve now received confirmation from our Product Team, and unfortunately, these features are not available on the MY25 RS3 in Australian specifications.

We understand this may be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your understanding and the time you’ve taken to follow up with us.

 

[Seriac]

Well that's highlighted the possible issue to me anyway. My car is an MY26. Built in September 25, but still...an MY26

 

[tb123]

To start with I thought that maybe our signs weren't compatible with the recognition system, but my sister has had it in VAG cars for years, so unlikely. Just seems an odd omission given that we have 99% of the available tech stuff as far as I know it. Maybe it was a carrot for MY26 cars, I don't know if the pre facelift cars could do it. I'm guessing y car can do it, just needs to either be coded or the right module updated which wasn't part of what they did yesterday.

 

[tb123]

Something else I just noticed, although I don’t use Waze or Tom Tom Nav apps, both show up in the virtual cockpit and HUD which is handy, although not to the same extent that Google Maps does. No lane guidance on those apps unlike GM

Yeah, I use Waze. Works great. Good to know where speed traps are.

When was HUD introduced as standard on RS3 or RSQ3 which we have,....it's a MY2023.

I don't know, sorry, it may have been on the 8Y facelift
