I have a 128 gb card and it works just fine.

I have had mine now for 1 month and done 1000km in it. I love this car. I think it is a really genuine GT in the original sense of the term. It is a fast comfortable cruiser with real grunt and sophistication. It is no fire-breathing beast, but if you want this you buy a CLA 45, or better...

That is one hell of a nice combination! I wish I had thought of that myself. Two thumbs up.

I have only had them on high beam on one drive and the coverage was great. Possibly a little better than R. Most definitely not worse. The auto high-beam was a little freaky

In my opinion they are great lights. Clean and bright with good spread. Great high beam. I love the low speed turn thing where they show you where you are turning. To be completely frank they are probably not much better in reality than the Xenons on my old Golf R, but they do have a great...

yes bog standard Estoril. I agree the lighting is different, and it is always hard to get your white balance correct with this, however in bright Australian sunshine it is a sensational colour. Looks like deep navy in overcast conditions and then just glows with a bit of direct lighting. I am...

Finally the SB has arrived. 5 months after placing an order. It will almost certainly never looks as good as this again. Had it Opticoated as it lives outside and the sap and birds are pretty severe.

I have had an R with DSG and now this one. The DSG in the S3 is much improved and the combination of the engine and the transmission is better sorted. The R was really, really docile in D, and really , really manic in S. They have removed the second "really" from this version. I would like...

I asked a local (Aus) mod guy this same question and it seems that we dont yet have a remap for this gearbox on the 8V. See below "Yes we have great success with our MK5/6 Platform DSG Upgrade, The new Platform MK7 VW and 8V Audi,s have as far are we know the same DSG Hardware. The...

Well over on my side of the Pacific Ocean we reckon you guys have it luuucky. Mine was week 6 build and is somewhere on boat on the wrong side of the Panama Canal. We want to know which port supplies New South Wales. It is great reading so much helpful information, and good to see that...

Good points. I might try the SD first. I have FLAC files not MP3 so it would be a PITA to change them all to MP3. I also figure with the B&O I should give it the best input I can. It is certainly obvious at home when I am listening to crappy and compressed recordings.

Also exactly what I want to hear. Upgrading from an R. The thing that frustrates me most is the lack of pull from less than 2400rpm. Very different from the MkV GTI I had prior that would could go from about 1800. I am also after a bit more big-city sophistication. Can't wait, can't wait...

You really know what you want to do. It is much cheaper than a mistress. Go for it. 56yo here. Last 2 cars have been GTI and R. Loads of fun and they give me a smile every time I take them for a drive.

Thanks for your help here. So as I hear what you are saying is that there are a few good economical choices. These are really internal drives and I would need to get an enclosure, that i presume comes with a USB connection. Is that right? Are these easy to find a fit?

Not delivered yet, but I am considering putting my FLAC files on an SSD instead of a memory stick. I figure this should draw less current than the spinning discs and be more reliable. Has anyone tried this yet? Or have any recommendations? I figure a 256gB will do the job, although I could get...
