    what is the 2nd car in your household?

    Well this is a source of debate as to which is 'A' and which is 'B' in our garage, my new S3 Sportback or my wife's new 228i M-Sport...

    S3 to Cayman?

    No Cayman experience, but if we didn't need a backseat and were in a position to get one, I would absolutely trade my S3 for Cayman GTS - as you say, to have that Porsche experience, just once.

    Clearly you didn't have access to the cable - or the time, never enough time! - last weekend, which is obviously totally cool! :) If you do get the opportunity at some stage, I would still really appreciate it if you are able to grab those adaption maps...

    cemerson, if you could please also grab the adaption maps for controllers 17 (Instruments) and 19 (CAN Gateway) that would awesome too - as that covers all controllers that have anything at all to do with traffic sign recognition. Thanks again!

    High Beam Assist

    With VCDS you can change this, it's an adaption on the A5 controller, "Activation speed for high beam assistant". On my Australian delivered S3 it is set by default to 57 km/h. I haven't altered it, as for our local roads that is fine - I've tested it and find it to work very well for my...

    Anyone with Traffic Sign Recognition and VCDS...

    Is there anyone with traffic sign recognition (TSR) and VCDS who would be willing to provide me with a copy of their Adaption Channel Maps for controllers 5F and A5 (security code : 20103) ? I would be VERY appreciative! The reason being, TSR is not activated on Australian delivered 8V's. I...

    Now that I have my S3, I too have have changed the default ACC distance to 2 using those instructions I posted. I can also confirm the security codes listed in my post all work on my MY15 S3 too.

    She doesn't see the funny side of her feet not reaching the pedals ! I don't have an issue with the ACC. I think I understand why they have the built-in settings the way they are - they are perfect for setting the speed to the actual speed limit in each zone. Given the way the Victorian...

    There are various roads nearby to assist with running in and getting to know the car, and few I'll wait until I'm using full throttle and RPM for ;) Oh, and a few candidates for testing out launch control too! That's right, novelty worn off, car received - tick, move on to the next thing now...

    So I'm going to go ahead.....

    Yes, I thought you were getting your info from the Audi.com.au website & configurator - they still haven't been updated for MY15 specs. I ordered my S3 (to be delivered on Monday or Tuesday - once it is transported from Melbourne) in Phantom Black as an MY14, but it was built in Mythos Black as...

    So I'm going to go ahead.....

    Your colour info is out of date. In Australia, on the MY15 cars, Daytona is a now a standard colour, replacing Monsoon and Mythos Black replaces Phantom Black.
