    Carplay third party retrofit

    I find the OEM sat nav naf compared to google maps. Drove down to Cornwall last month and most of the way down it estimated it was going to take 12 hours to drive when google maps estimated 5 hrs! plenty of other times when the car NAV suggests a ridiculous diversion for "traffic" but if you...

    Carplay third party retrofit

    It is something to think about - my mrs is getting a new car soon so will check out how it all works on that as I've not actually played with the features properly yet. I already have the tech pack with the large screen - does it still need replacing?

    Carplay third party retrofit

    Thanks for the info - strange about the price increase. I'd consider the MIB2 retrofit if it was around the £1500 point, but ive heard that it also requires the B&O amp replaced and totals up to £2500 for the lot!!!!

    Cam belt replacement cost?

    I thought that the A3's had a timing chain that "never" needs replacing. or will do significantly more mileage and years before needing replacement. I just had my 63 plate 1.8TFSI serviced at Audi and they said there was no cam belt and that it was just a regular service.

    1.8 TFSI mpg + Grill & Floormats

    I'd say I'm getting very similar mpg. Averaged 40mpg driving London to Cornwall the other week. Traveling to Wales with a roof box tomorrow so that will be interesting. Sad to say I'm a little disappointed with the mpg. My 8p 2.0fsi 150ps was about the same but was hoping the 8v would be better...

    Speakers from a4 to s3

    Do round pegs fit in square holes? In all seriousness I don't know, but I highly doubt it. I'd imagine the units are designed to fit the door very specifically
