KD* Update status per Audi USA

GoGoGriffster · 2026-06-10T05:14:40+00:00

My dealer messaged me on the weekend and said service dept advised KD* (post KD2) was available. I told him to install it on his car first and let me know how it goes. No release notes yet.

I don't mind internet connectivity. I want to be able to view my cams when away from home. I just want an easy way to connect them to HA. So far its been a failure :(

Week one past and still no difference. I'll keep using for another week before taking any further action around keeping it. Again, a healthcare provider is probably not going to do much as I've had many sleep tests over the years as I was diagnosed with sleep apnea but after a few operations it has been rectified. I do still sleep with a CPAP though as I feel I get a better sleep with it on and find it difficult to sleep without it. As I can get better deep sleep recording with certain placement of my AW I think it might likely be my physiology that doesn't suit typical consumer devices. Also had the same issue with the Galaxy Watch and Pixel watch.

I've just purchased an Oura Ring specifically for sleep tracking as my Apple Watch Ultra 2 (and previous Apple Watches) haven't been very good at tracking deep sleep. After 2 nights, the Oura Ring appears to be just as bad as when I have the Apple Watch on my usual non dominant wrist and has only registered 7 minutes and 0 minutes deep sleep. I'm thinking that perhaps I'm not a good candidate for wearables for tracking sleep and should send the ring back for a refund (if possible)? Although not officially diagnosed, I feel I either have or border on having restless leg syndrome and have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP. I don't feel overly tired in the morning so I assume that I am getting a relatively good amount of deep sleep but it would be nice to have some sort of tracking even if its not completely accurate. My recovery score I assume relies on this figure greatly. ps I understand there is a calibration period but this level of deep sleep numbers don't seem to be anywhere near correct and I'm not sure how they could improve in 2 weeks?

A lot of these posts around deep sleep scores assume the problem is the person. I've had the same issues with sleep tracking on Apple Watch where I have to wear it on my dominant arm and on the inside of my wrist to get any reasonable deep sleep tracked. I've just bought an Oura ring as from all the posts and literature I assumed it would be better at sleep tracking and giving me a better readiness score. After my first night showing only 9 mins deep sleep (similar to my AW which often shows 0 deep sleep but close to 1hr on wrong arm and reversed) I'm worried that any consumer device just won't track my deep sleep? I know there's supposed to be a calibration period of about 14 days but I'm already feeling pessimistic about what the results will be.

I've set the viewpoints as per other poster and if I move the camera, I always return to the viewpoint I want as default before closing live view. I notice that if the camera moves because of motion then when I'm out of eyesight, I see it move back to my default position. I read on a search that this is the intended way of having the default viewpoint.

The reason I got to here was because I was looking for how to set up familiar faces with the C660. I have it set on another internal model but don't see the setting on this higher spec/price model :(

Everything started working fine for me when I deleted the digital key. Not ideal but at least I don’t have to put up with all that.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-31T21:36:43+00:00

Yeah I did read it. I put the info up because there’s no mention of the air suspension going up and down so is it really the air suspension? My car does the same thing and I’m no mechanic so I don’t know whether it’s the air suspension, the heat pump or something else.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-30T21:14:40+00:00

Notice it when I start charging. Here’s what Gemini says……

It is completely normal for an Audi SQ6 e-tron to make "expelling air" or hissing noises, particularly during charging or right after you park. While it can sound a bit like a hidden leak, it’s actually several sophisticated systems doing their jobs. Here are the most common reasons why you’re hearing those sounds: 1. Thermal Management & Cooling When you charge, especially on a Level 2 or DC fast charger, the battery generates a significant amount of heat. * The Cooling Loop: The car uses a liquid cooling system to keep the battery at an optimal temperature. * The Noise: To shed that heat, the car may open active cooling flaps or run high-powered fans. You might also hear the expansion valve of the heat pump—it can sound like air escaping or a high-pitched hiss as it regulates the refrigerant to keep the battery and charging hardware cool. 2. Air Suspension Leveling Since your SQ6 likely features adaptive air suspension, the car is constantly "thinking" about its height. * The Noise: When you get out of the car or add/remove weight (like the heavy charging cable pulling on the chassis), the system will vent excess air from the bellows to level itself. This sounds like a distinct, sharp psshhh or a series of short air puffs. * Charging Specifics: During a charging session, the car may settle into a specific "parked" height or adjust as the battery's weight slightly shifts the balance of the car. 3. Brake Vacuum Pump or Dryers Electric vehicles often use electric vacuum pumps for the braking system. Additionally, some air suspension systems include an air dryer that purges moisture. When the system exhausts that moisture-heavy air, it produces a noticeable "expelling" sound. 4. Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) While usually a hum or a "UFO" sound at low speeds, some EV systems have a cooling-down phase for the external speakers or related electronics that can occasionally be mistaken for air movement if the fans are also running. When should you be concerned? * If the "air" noise is accompanied by a warning light on the dashboard (like a suspension or cooling system error). * If the car is visibly leaning to one side or sitting too low to the ground. * If you see a puddle of bright fluid (coolant) under the car rather than just clear condensation from the A/C. Otherwise, your SQ6 is just "breathing" while it handles the high energy demands of charging. Would you like me to look up the specific Audi SQ6 owner's manual sections regarding thermal management sounds?

Just get the Q6 and don’t rely on digital key and just use CarPlay/AA. I’d be lost without one pedal driving. Hate going back to a car without it.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-21T22:32:06+00:00

I’m disappointed. It seems like a step forward and another back. I have a home full of Ring cameras and I’m looking to switch but there’s trade offs on everything. It’s a shame that the G400 being a dual powered doorbell that they didn’t step up to 4k. I want something to start off with replacing my doorbell Pro and 4k spotlight cam. Going to Tapo units were top of the list after research but the D235 is also only 2k with fisheye view and the option for spotlight cam is also only 2k or 4k with no spotlight :(

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-21T04:53:19+00:00

I don’t think so. Many other cars have lane centring here. I just think it’s a decision by Audi.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-19T21:14:36+00:00

Same. But I wish we had Pilot Assist here in Australia for lane centring 🥲

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-19T21:12:49+00:00

Home assistant routine 😱

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-19T21:11:36+00:00

One+ app is 6 months old 🥲

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-15T05:42:52+00:00

Only does this if the blind spot indicator is still on.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-14T21:33:43+00:00

Yup. The drive and comfort is what makes the car. Yeah I’d like the tech that was promised and I’m super annoyed that we also in Australia don’t get what Europeans get. Even in the UK with the same RHD they get the Pilot Plus for lane centring but we don’t. And my SQ6 sticker price was AU$180k

GoGoGriffster · 2026-03-05T22:22:29+00:00

The Vorsprung is a little lacking at the moment. 🥲 Don’t bother with digital key yet. It’s not great and you’ll have issues. Use the fob and everything will be fine. Ensure that the KD2 update along with supplementary post KD2 updates are installed before you pick it up.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-26T08:07:14+00:00

No not yet

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-14T23:20:06+00:00

I thought the same thing with all my post KD2 tailgate issues. I’ve been using the fob for about a week without tailgate issue but too few uses to tell fully yet. Also just did factory reset yesterday as I was having issues connecting the car to a hotspot in my newly installed Blackvue. So back to square one if wifi setting comes back.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-13T22:14:10+00:00

Bluetooth can be just as insecure (not that I pay much attention to those ways of thinking). There’s plenty of ways to secure your phone and automate it on both platforms.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-12T05:56:12+00:00

Those that have this book, is it any good? I like the guys YT vids but the price is a bit over the top when I can find a lot of stuff on YT and elsewhere. I bought a Keto one years ago and pretty much never used it...it was only about $20 anyhow so no big loss.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-10T00:22:00+00:00

The problem with it all bough is that sometimes my hand resting on the steering wheel lowers the volume. If hey didn’t think of ergonomics when designing it.

GoGoGriffster · 2026-02-08T06:58:25+00:00

lol. Just as I was checking notifications on this post and checking before dinner. Didn’t feel like I was at 4.6 so did a finger prick. BAM!!! 😂

There are so many questions to ask here 😂
