    Should my mirrors fold?

    They don't fold with the lock. That's C7 and above only. They will only fold if you haven't opened a door yet and swivel it to 6 o'clock (either keys out or in) . Annoying, as I tend to use the mirrors to get out the car safely on a main road..!

    Rear wiper

    What about if your rear wiper has gone a bit "floppy"? Mine works perfectly, but at rest now hangs a little below the glass line on the body work and has a lot of play in it..

    Access the Boost Pressure Sensor on 3.0TDI

    Part of the issue was I wasn't 100% where the sensor was, so I had to explore! But I see your reasoning though it would still be pretty tight. It was handy having the p/s pot moveable for routing of the TDI box wiring underneath. Not sure where to secure it, though... Currently wedged in the...

    VCDS: Enabling Audi Parking System Plus on Acoustic-only Rear

    Saw this thread on the A5OC and thought I'd investigate: Audi parking assist system - A5_OC Different modules on my A6, but found Park Assist as module 97. Only Short Coding available, but I changed the second bit from 0 to 2 and hit Do It! No Security code required. The coding was accepted...

    Access the Boost Pressure Sensor on 3.0TDI

    So, no response so I'll fill in the detail in case anyone else is interested. It's a PITA, but you can just about get to it by moving the Power Steering reservoir out of the way... Remove engine cover to get clearer access to the bottom right area Undo the single star-screw in the clamp...

    Access the Boost Pressure Sensor on 3.0TDI

    Is there any technique to accessing the above without either tiny hands or dismantling the front of the car? Just need to unplug and replug the connector... Thanks :-) There's bags of room on a Q7, sadly it's not this clear on an A6...

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    Thanks B5NUT, and yes, I am probably going to have to resort to retrofitting AMI, but it does seem like a waste as I'll only realistically use it as a aux-in. I'll keep an eye out for another idea - not in a rush. The Dension one again, I'd only use half the features and it's not exactly cheap :)

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    Looks like Tune2Air is iPod/Apple track info only. No such niceness on Android - it would just be a glorified Aux in. Therefore, not as attractive.. The search continues :)

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    Spotify pretty much works like any other media player on Android now - so hopefully the info should send over bluetooth etc. I'll drop him a PM, thanks!

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    True, but I have no use for iPod integration (plus, assume it's not compatible with the new connector, so will because less worthwhile having) and with twin SD slots, I don't need the USB function. It's what I'm going to use rather than the full list of features it gives :) Does Tune2Air do...

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    Ah, thought that would be too lucky! Thanks for the prompt response. Ouch, not sure I can justify £250 just for Aux In then another £60 for Tune2Air.. I added it to the Nav+ on the A3 for about £8 in official Audi parts.. ;) Is it not worth looking at the XCarLink options?

    Hello and AUX In hack question :)

    Hello A6 peeps :) Just swapped my 2005 A3 Sportback 3.2 quattro for a 2010 A6 Avant 3.0 TDI due to finding that yes the A3 was a 5-door, but then you put the baby seat in the back, there really is no room left for the front passenger! Loving it so far and have already fired up VCDS to mod what...

    RNS-E unit coding (if replacing Mk1 for Mk2)

    I currently have a Mk1 RNS-E unit which has a faulty drive (I've reaplced the laser, still dead :() and the FM has stopped too.... I want to just replace it with the Mk2 LED version. Does the coding of my Mk1 stay with the car, or the unit? If I plug in another RNS-E, will it pick up the...
