    zap sound from speakers when removing key

    Hi, Got a problem. Recently had a new Can-bus adapter connected to my aftermarket head unit which now enables it to stay on until I remove the key. This now works fine however when I remove the key and the unit switches off there's an immediate zap sound which comes from the speakers. I had the...

    Window opening and door locking question

    Thanks guys, unfortunately my dis only goes as far as units. I'll see what possible with VagCom. Really strange the only thing I can think of may have happened is when they fixed my windows (they had some play in them) that they either used a wrong module/regulator or reset everthing. Initially...

    Window opening and door locking question

    Recently had a couple of issues fixed by Audi but a number of problems (which they created) have since arisen which they don't seem to have an idea as to how to fix just yet. This forum has a lot of knowledgable people so I'm hoping you guys can give me an idea as to what may have happened. I...

    Symphony II (Bose) to RNS-E = PEICE OF CAKE!

    what would be the difference with having it under the dash as opposed to in the glove box? Both I assume would receive the same satellite reception strength?

    GPS Sat Nav tracking

    Focals installed - sound quality

    thanks AndyMac, had a couple of different installers try 2 different antena adapters and both seem to cause static intereference. FM isn't too bad I get the occassional stereo drop out/static but AM constanty has static. The alternative seems to be to stick a small antenna on the top of the back...

    Focals installed - sound quality

    update. Had the audio place have a listen to the speakers. Looks like there is definately something amiss with the speakers or the set up. The rears sound miles better than the fronts (granted the fronts have greatly improved with the amp). The audio guys agree the sound is totally flat even...

    Focals installed - sound quality

    had an audio place install it an assumed they would have adjusted everything correctly. Do you think this would rectify the issue, wouldn't the sound be better anyway with an amp? I did notice the rears were conciderably louder than previously. What would be the standard gain adjustment an would...

    Focals installed - sound quality

    hi, had some Focal 165VR splits and an amp installed and I'm finding the sound is not as loud as the OEM set up and not as punchy. I really need to turn up the sound on the head unit to get it to the level I usually have it on. Also noticed that if I fade the sound to the front so that only the...

    Dodgy mic

    Hi, got a pioneer head unit with bluetooth but the parrot microphone is something shocking, people can hardly hear me no matter the position of the mic. Wondering whether the Audi mic would fit into the pioneer head unit and are the any good and if so any cheap places to get them as ebay doesn't...

    Rough shifting on hot days

    Hi, I've got a 2008 1.8TFSI DSG and noticed that on hot days the cars shifting is really bad. When accelerating from a standstill there is a big shunt (like a really bad manual change). Once moving it is OK but then again when coming to a standstill and stopped the cars revs bounce like its...
