    DIY Wireless Android Auto

    I have shifted to the one of the newer wireless AA dongles as well. I am using the AAWireless (https://www.cpeb.it/) or you can still get it from Indiegogo as well. It works pretty much flawlessly 98% of the time. Once in a very rare while I have to power cycle it (just by unplugging the USB...

    Convert Wired Android Auto to Wireless (CarPlay2Air type solution)

    First, I have no affiliation with the developers or the crowdfunding for this. However, I have been using the dev's app based solution using an old phone as a slave to get wireless AA in my 2018 RS3 (it involves leaving the slave phone hidden in the car plugged in and then my Note 10 connects...

    DIY Wireless Android Auto

    It is a bit technical, fair enough. I will note that I am not really that technical ... just good at following instructions from XDA.

    DIY Wireless Android Auto

    If a dongle worked, I would definitely go that way, but I have not seen any that convert wired AA to wireless AA on a non-Android HU. That CPLAY2air dongle that's picture claims to work for wireless CP but their website doesn't say a word about wireless AA. I kind of missed one point in my...

    DIY Wireless Android Auto

    I will post up pics or a video in a bit, but I have completed a DIY install of wireless android auto in my 2018 RS3. This should work on any FL 8V and probably a number of other models as well. You need three things: an old android phone you don't mind rooting and using as a "slave"; a $1 app...

    Speed Camera POI

    Thanks for the reply ... not looking for you to do a ton of work, will give this approach a try and see how it goes. Thanks again.

    Speed Camera POI

    I have subscribed to PWGPS, but don't really need it for my jurisdiction as our red light and speed cam locations are freely published by the provincial government on Google Maps so I have it in gpx/kml/kmz formats anyway. My question is more around challenges with the tools. McAddy defaults to...

    New RS3 Owner from Canada

    I did make a hello post in the RS3 photos thread, but thought I should probably do one here as well. Picked up a 2018 Suzuka Grey RS3 about five weeks ago (new car, never titled, 100km on the odo). We were looking to replace my wife's old A3 Sportback and she was looking at Q3s (one was blue...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Not that I've noticed but the car just got out of the break-in period this past weekend so I haven't been all that aggressive with it yet. That gives me a bit of time before I have to worry about it.

    Post Pics Of Your 8V RS3's In Here

    It is a great drive if you spend some time to take more interesting roads. We were heading down Saturday morning for a 1:00 college game and then heading back after the Seahawks game on Sunday night with work on Monday so we stuck to the I-5 heading north and then the 99 on the Canadian side...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Thanks ... I didn't figure it would be right away, more about whether it's 5K or 7500 or wherever.

    Post Pics Of Your 8V RS3's In Here

    Thought I would introduce myself with a couple of pics of my new Suzuka Grey RS3. Not great pics, but the weather here hasn't been great so this is what I've got. The first one was when I picked it up at the dealer six weeks ago and the second it with the winter wheels/rubber (Alpin PA4s on...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    New RS3 owner and reading through this thread has me scared about a sudden tire failure at speed. Not a concern right now as I have winter rubber (PA4s) on the car and only had the P-Zeros on for about three weeks between purchase and the change over so they only have a few hundred kms on them...
