Hello everyone! Tomorrow I take official ownership of a 2016 RS6 Performance with the carbon ceramic brake package. To say I am excited is an understatement! I've wanted an RS6 for a long time and I finally found one that was priced right. I used to own a C6 S6 that I adored, so I'm stoked to get back to an Audi. The car has 90,000km and has been meticulously cared for. The first owner of the car owns the dealership the car was "sold" from and the second owner is who I am purchasing the car from. We have mutual friends and I know he is very OCD about his vehicles. My biggest concern in purchasing the car was the oil screen, which I saw that Audi Germany did a recall on (the car is an EU spec car and located in Germany). With all of that said, I have some questions for the masses. I know some of these have been beat to death and I have used the search feature but it seems like answers are all over the place....

1. I believe the car was manufactured in June of 2016. Until I have the car, I won't be able to check the MMI version but what is the likelihood I can have Apple CarPlay installed in a 2016? I saw some posts that said it was possible and others saying it wasn't possible. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

2. As this car is a German spec car and I only speak English, does anyone know how I can get a copy of an RS6 owner's manual in English? I tried the Audi US site but because the VIN is a EU VIN, it did not work.

3. This car is the Performance model and supposedly has an ABT Tune which was done at the Audi dealership it was sold from. Can anyone say if that is a legitimate estimate of actual HP?

4. Aside from the ABT tune, Eventuri Intake, and some Wheel Force wheels, the car is stock. What is the your first suggested mod?!?

Thanks in advance! I look forward to plenty of fun with this car!

1) Yes you will. Although its borderline if you can have it 'officially' activated by Audi, or will need to use the mysterious person on telegram to do a hack to make it work. Mine is May 2016 and had to do the latter option. Works perfectly to this day.

Sounds like a nice car but warranty wise forget it with an ABT tune As for Apple car play contact SatNav Systems they will tell you if it can be done. Owners manual I wouldn’t bother as you can Google all of that, I can’t remember the last time I looked at the manual.
As for mods and not knowing what wheel force wheels are?? Some pics of the car might be good

That's a beautiful car - hope you enjoy it!

Nice car, maybe you can post more detailed ? I was also considering buy wheel force rims, can you post all dimensions of your rims? Thanks
