    Rsap, Android and MMI Cable

    It was just case of not having to keep an SD card up to date as tastes and moods change etc. - I'm more inclined to change the music on the phone from time to time and update playlists etc., whereas with an SD card it'd just be stuck in the glovebox and forgotten about. Hard wired phone would...

    Rsap, Android and MMI Cable

    Thanks cemerson - that was my impression, that I would have to root the phone. But I'm not sure how that would help? I suppose MMI navigation plus is not an easy retrofit option? If I bin the Galaxy, and refuse to have the ghost of Steve Jobs control my life (ie Apple!), what phone would be...

    Rsap, Android and MMI Cable

    Hi guys and gals, I've looked on here and across the t'internet, but can't seem find any definitive answers. I had my first A3 in Sept but the cables that came were female USB and plain black iphone. When I plugged those in, I couldn't access any album art etc. with the Iphone, and no media...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    I have high beam assist plus acc & active lane assist? Is it just later cars that have the plastic unit, or all with a particular spec? Confused again!

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    I ll have to look at configuration tomorrow. Can't understand why it would have changed from Sept to Dec? I didn't spec ACC high specifically as I recall, just the comfort pack?

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    So I had my original one on 2nd Sept with round mean looking radar thingy that seemed to work better at warning me about tail gating but now my Dec 2nd one, exactly same spec comes with plastic rectangular chinese bit that doesn't work so well!? All because of original dealer ****-up? :-( :'(...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Just driven 40 miles home & cruise seems fine. Only comment I could make would be it was really hard to get the red warning of "too close" on the dashboard without real tailgating (if it was you in a transit eastbound on the A50 I apologise!)... I set the distance on the cruise settings to max...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    If it's a new style then that's OK - but would like it confirming by dealer/Audi if at all possible (maybe the Golf on the pic didn't have the same options?) Suppose there's two sides to the discussion - the flat plastic plate maybe looks neater, but the "lens" did provoke some discussion and I...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    The photo's that Blurk posted here :- http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/attachments/f244/22587d1383058070-post-pics-your-a3-8v-here-3-voor.jpg (page 20) has the clear "lens" type? If it just forms part of the emergency brake assist, how could it be tested? Also mine was in the dealer for longer as...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Just looked again on the VW site and found that :- How it worksThe system's radar sensor has a range of up to 200 metres and a beam angle of 12 degrees. The radar sensor and control unit are combined into a single unit which is located - on the Passat, for example - behind the Volkswagen badge...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Just looked on the VW website and can't immediately see any sign of a lens in the Golf Mk7 grille. It does comment that the lens is part of the brake assist :- "Front Assist, the radar system also detects situations where the distance to the car in front is critical and helps to reduce your...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    If it were temporary :- It should have come off when I removed the top clip? It seems to sit further back in the grill than the original lens - and any revealed lens would be further back still. Surely the car would think that I was extremely close to something if it were relying on the lens...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    It's not a temporary cover - just tried to pull it forward and broke the top clip (it was very fragile!!) - it's not showing any signs of pulling off :( Any ideas how I can prove the lens needed?? Ta. Stu.

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Could be! It does look to be set well back compared to the lens on the former car though - that seemed to protrude beyond the ribs along the centre line of the grill....

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Pic attached. It doesn't look like a cover - I'm convinced it's not there, but if the stuff on the car works, what can I say???

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Thanks for initial response. I thought so too, so I've just driven down the bypass, set the cruise to 70mph, and sure enough the green cars came up on the dash, and slowed me down - I didn't crash into the lorry in front! Is it possible they've just developed a cover for it so it now sits...

    Missing Radar detector thingy?

    Hi guys, New post here but done a search here and on google and can't find anything relevent. I had an A3 sportback SE delivered on the 2nd Sept 2013 with the "Comfort pack" that should have included parking system plus. I pointed out on delivery that the button wasn't there, dealer said...
