    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    I gave it a quick test, locked with a single press of the keyfob whilst sitting inside, couldn’t open the passenger door using the handle (exactly what I want)

    Help Please Trying to understand how thieves broke in (no visible damage to windows, but drivers door key barrel removed)

    Ah, I just need a temporary measure whereby the door will only unlock with the fob, I don’t have a spare barrel at the moment to put it it’s place.

    Waiting on barrel to be delivered from Germany but in the mean time, is there a way to only allow unlocking via the fob?

    Help Please Trying to understand how thieves broke in (no visible damage to windows, but drivers door key barrel removed)

    I’m hoping that’s not the case as I don’t want to have to get a whole new lock and keys from Audi but then it seems pointless if they can just do this again. The taking of the barrel is the part that’s really throwing me, if you can get in with that thing, quickly code a new key to turn off the...

    So my car was broken into this week and they managed to code a key and almost got away. But how did they get in, there was no broken windows, no other damage except that the drivers side key lock barrel was completely gone. Does removing the barrel simply unlock/open the door? It shouldn’t...

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    I have no idea tbh, I assumed my 2012 was probably old enough that it wasn’t worth stealing, but here I am!!

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    I never knew this, is this a thing that’s standard on all Audis? Out of weird ocd habit, I just press the button twice, maybe a few times. Is there an indicator anywhere to know if it’s deadlocked or not, apart from unlocking it then pressing it just once? Silly question though, lets say...

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    My thoughts exactly, there’s newer cars out there, more powerful ones out there. Can you take a photo of what you mean regarding the ODB port? I’m open to anything right now as the annoying thing is because they programmed a key, mine stopped working and the e-brake was stuck on and I couldn’t...

    Car got broken into last night and nearly stolen. Size of the steering wheel on 2012 S4 Avant?

    Looking at getting a Disklok but I need to take the measurement of the steering wheel across the middle but I forgot to do that before the car was loaded on the back of a truck and on it’s way to a garage. Speaking of which, which fuse(s) disable the ODB port? You can probably guess how they...

    Weekend project, MagSafe charger installed in centre armrest

    I installed a CarPlay retrofit kit a few weeks ago but annoyed at not having a clean charging solution that didn’t have wires trailing around everywhere, air vent solutions were out of the question, so finally pulled my finger out and did something about it. Used the 12v socket in the centre...

    Installing retrofit CarPlay kit, do I need stereo codes or anything like that?

    Going to be needing to disconnect the battery from my 2012 S4 to install a CarPlay retrofit kit, do I need a stereo code for when I reconnect the battery back again? I've had a look through the owners manual, can't find anything resembling a code there.
