Half the gear above was wrong. I've found most of it from the loft and its: JVC KD-LX3R HU Infinity Kappa CS1 Components (but with a pair of Kenwood KFCw1703 17cm woofers, not the original 6x9s). Think its a 4.5inch or 5 inch mid so not sure if thats gonna fit in a tt door panel Kenwood W...

My wife just bought a very nice Mk1 tt 1.8 225 with (non bose) cassette / CD changer. It sounds Ok but def needs upgrading. I still have all the kit that I removed from my Rover Coupe 13 years ago. Its all about a day away at the back of the loft so I don't remember model numbers but I'm...

The better half has just bought a 2003 mk1 TT 1.8T (225) with 30k miles on the clock. All MOT test certs and service history confirm mileage and general wear and tear (none) seem to back this up. However it doesn't appear to have ever had the timing belt changed. I think its a 60k service...

Yes mate, I have one and its superb. It was a bit flaky with my original (1.3 I think) jail break firmware, but since upgrading to v2 and subsequently v3 firmware its been brilliant. Build quality is excellent and to be honest well exceeds the £20 that I paid for mine (SVP.co.uk, but I don't...

On a black car I'd go for black rails - I did on my phantom black S3 and I think that they add a subtle effect to the sleekness of the car, but don't look like a mini avant. I've seen a few black A3's with alloy bars and would def go with black bars again. Just my humble opinion so pls don't...

The cup holder is under a sliding cover under the arm rest, or at least it is on my 140 sport sportback. Are you sure about the hill hold assist being standard as mine does'nt seem to have it. Maybe its standard on the dsg only or maybe I just haven't tried it out.....:banghead: I'd be...

You could check out the Harmon Kardon Drive+Play. Big pockets and SVP were doing them for £23 recently. I have one in my new A3 and it works superbly with my iphone. It shows track / artist / album / playlists on its own lcd screen. Mine connects via the 3.5mm port in the centre console...

/sigh This exactly the reason why I wanted to use the HK drive+play (£22) in the 1st place. All I was asking for was advice on how to connect it to the Audi HU. Somehow this has resulted in it being insinuated that I'm an irresponsible driver. In my humble opinion its one of the safest ways...

Cheers Issac, I do hope so. Well thanks for that suggestion but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that a neat solution can be achieved without spending that much on what is effectively a hard drive and an IPOD adapter, especially as I'm back in the realms of playlists being controlled (and...

From this I'm presuming that the 3.5mm socket is built into the new HU and not remotely located in either the center console or the dash as I was hoping :sob: Indeed it would be the easiest solution, but I am trying to minimize the number of wires trailing about all over the dashboard of my...

Cheers for the replies. So the only way that I can use the aux in / line in on the HU would be to either plug it into the 3.5mm plug or tap into the wire that supplies the jack (or use the FM modulator and the aerial lead). I'm not keen on going down the icelink route, unless I can find a cheap...

Hi I've just ordered my new Audi A3. Its gonna have the standard concert Hu with Bose. I've been looking at all the various Ipod integration options for my Iphone and am considering a bluetooth phone kit too. For the ipod I've decided upon the Harmon Kardon drive+play so that I can use all...

Many thanks, I will indeed try it out and see whats best. From reading here and many other forums it seems that the general concensus is that the Bose offers some improvment in clarity but is still lacking in the bass dept. It shouldn't be too difficult to add an active sub like the Infinity...

but then the pug would overtake the R5 on the outside of the 1st bend whilst the driver was changing his tape and lighting a fag In response to the R5 being the fastest hot hatch in a straight line I have 3 words - Lancia Delta Integrale. I thought that one of the biggest problems with the R5...

I had a 205XS too, absolutley stunning car, performance marginaly short of the 1.6gti, but without the silly insurance. TBH I still have'nt driven a car to this day that is capable of putting such a big smile on my face. I was gutted the day I sold it to my local scrappy, but at least it had...

Thanks for the swift responses. I'm not too fussed about the cost, as the company will pay something towards it, and as Audi are new to the firm, they are currently offering all sorts of extras at lower cost to entice people away from choosing mondeos and bmws. I guess to clarify my questions...

Hi I'm in the process of speccing options for my new companty car, an A3 SE sportback. I was thinking of going for the sports suspension, but all the reviews say how overly firm it is, although it is supposed to tighten the handling up considerably. It seems that it is a little softer on the...

Hi I'm about to order my new company car, an Audi S3 5dr, and am in the process of deciding what options to go for. I'm hoping you guys could give me some advice. It seems that many of you are talking about replacing the Bose sound system. Therefore am I correct in assuming that it does not...
