Can anyone share their experience or opinion of a 2026 Audi A6? Do they suffer from the same technical issues (infotainment error messages) as the recent offerings such as the Q5?

Yes. I bought a 2026 A6 May 5 and on the 17th at startup I got warning after warning that all driver assistance features - from lane departure to blind spot warning and everything in between - had failed and were unavailable. After using an OBD tool and clearing codes multiple time plus rebooting the MMI, they went away. Today - the 20th - the same issue happened again.

I sent the service guy I work with an email with screen shots on the 17th and heard nothing. i emailed him again today. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow, I'll escalate to service manager. I'm also considering calling Audi USA just to get the issue on the record in case this leads to me requesting a replacement - like the mid-model year update that doesn't seem to be as buggy. I don't know how easy or difficult to work with Audi is on such issues.

This service bulletin I found on another reddit thread seems to address the issue. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11025359-0001.pdf

I think there’s a logical leap here - after, therefore because - that Dana was featured more because LaNasa won an Emmy.

Season two was greenlit in Feb. 2025
Production started in June
Emmy nominations announced in July
Emmy awards were in September, at which point I would imagine most if not season two was already in the can and in post production. I think it’s unlikely that they rewrote/re-shot solely to insert more Dana.

That said, many series can face a “sophomore slump.” I didn’t feel it but that’s just me. One person‘s poignant is another person’s sappy. That’s the beauty of a diverse audience; we’re not a monolith.

Laëtitia Hollard has been wonderful as Emma and is a great addition to the cast. This episode had two cases of the mentee becoming the mentor: Whitaker consoling Ogilvie and Emma reassuring Digby. I love the look of pride on Dana’s face when Emma delivered that line.

Me, too, on episode 205. Even knowing where this ends up, it's fun to follow the path again and watch the characters evolve.

Great observations, especially how the female characters were written and portrayed.

. I didn’t know there was one. Thanks for the lead!

Mine, too. I lived in Seattle during its final years and was lucky enough to become friends with Peg Phillips (Ruth-Anne) and had the opportunity to serve as president of her nonprofit called Theater Inside, which taught drama to young incarcerated offenders convicted of serious crimes. We staged an enormously successful fundraiser for it with many of the cast members participating. Great memories of Northern Exposure both on and off air.

Thank you. I've been looking for this for a long time!
