    New Site Format - Well Done!

    I posted that I didn't like the monochrome look and effectively got flamed by an Admin. That sort of attitude is unacceptable IMHO - so I'm off. So long and thanks for all the fish.

    Asn New Mobile Look

    Dealing with negative comments with sarcasm rarely ends well either. OK, some specifics: 1) Marking a Forum as read now means scrolling right to the top of the page, clicking and waiting for a dialog box to appear and then clicking again on that - 2 clicks instead of one. 2) I'm not a fan of...

    New Site Format - Well Done!

    I wouldn't go that far, but I have to say I don't see any benefits from the change, in fact just the opposite.

    Asn New Mobile Look

    So you made the same mistake as M$ have done with Windows 8 - tried to have one look & feel for completely different platforms, which IMHO just doesn't work. I'm firmly with those who don't like the new look. I like change where it makes something better, but for me the things I do often are...

    DRC

    Audi UK only instigated the service campaign after sustained pressure and a letter writing campaign to the then MD of Audi UK from many members on rs246.com That resulted in a warranty extension for DRC to 5 years/75,000 miles, and a much "better" attitude to goodwill claims from Audi UK. I...

    RNS-E update in S4 B6

    See Audi Radio/Navigation System (RNS-E) - Ross-Tech Wiki for the start screen coding. When you've changed the value in channel 18 you need to reboot the RNS-E (press and hold RADIO and SETUP).

    Few questions from new owner

    OK, Bose wire tells the RNS-E to enable the Bose equalisation (and disable the front speaker amps). So disconnecting that will change the frequency response, but there's a non-destructive way to do it as well - just change the coding of the RNS-E from Bose (9) to linear (0) Audi...

    Help!!!! RS4 Battery Draining

    Bluetooth not working any more suggests a BT module problem, try popping the fuse to de-power it and see it that solves that problem and the battery drain.

    Bi-xenon question, what does this bulb do?

    The switch controls whether or not the DRLs come on at all, if they do come on it's with the ignition not the light switch.
