Likewise, I went from an A3 to an A5. Plumped for the 3.0, and I have zero regrets!! 2 years in, average 3mpg mixed driving (40+ on a motorway run) and I still get a buzz out of the way that engine kicks you in the back of the head, from anywhere above 2k rpm, at any speed.... In terms of...

Did the same thing, but plumped for a 3.0tdi. You will as said miss the nippiness a bit from the a3, but you soon get used to using smoother steering input to avoid the understeer. The quattro helps massively with the handling as well, and personally I'd struggle to go back to FWD on a car this...

Hey pal, looks like a nice example, best engine as well :sm4: from what I remember the max memory card cap is 4gb without updates, others will be able to provide more info on this. What system do you have?

Once again, Apple have 'innovated' and are charging above flagship phone money (starting prices of £600) for what appears to be an utterly mediocre product. When Apple offers a price point that accurately mirrors what they're actually selling, (or make a phone worth the money) I'll consider...

It just jumped, had my renewal thru for the big diesel - 270 [emoji22] Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

As said, location and your employment have a lot to do with it. My occupation comes under 2 different names depending on who you talk to, funnily enough one is significantly cheaper than the other.. That said, Adrian Flux are good for me, live in Leyland, 3.0TDI A5 at 26 with 8 years nc, 600fc...

As said by NHN, that's the easy access slider switch. Assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that they're all programmed the same, flip the seat forward and quick press forward and the seat should slide forward as far as it will go. Flip the seat back and press and hold the button back and the seat...

You'd be amazed, being nose-deaf is more common than you might think - best thing is to tell them (gently if you can).

And that is why they do it! It's a sought after performance car, which enthusiasts will pay top dollar for - why not fleece them of more with options lists? I know it's immoral (and damn expensive) but it's good business from their perspective... Essential option for me (or at least seriously...

Yup, that is *exactly* how the back of my original HU looks. Except the 3rd horizontal plug wasn't plugged in, or anywhere to be found in fact!! I'll have another good look when I'm not in work, but as far as I can see, there is no 3rd plug. The previous bluetooth handsfree system was a...

Right, finally managed to get some pictures sorted!! First is the car harness. That nifty red wire is a switched 12v feed from the fusebox, plumbed in for a bluetooth handsfree kit that doesn't work anymore. That is, the kit doesnt work, but the wire does. That's the CT53-AU04 kit, which has...

Thanks for all the replies! I'm on nights at work at the moment so can't get any pictures up, but I'll sort some in the morning. Something rings true about getting power to the amp though, there's an amp power lead on the pioneer harness that came with the unit, but no matching lead on the...

Ok, so I've posted a thread already about this. Symphony unit shat itself, so I thought I'd treat myself to an upgrade. Bought a pioneer touchscreen unit, and a connects2 lead which I thought would do the trick of connecting everything up -...

Right, I dove in last week, cable was ordered as i didn't have the right one, just gone to fit it all in and..... nothing. No power. Luckily, whoever did the handsfree install had wired in a fused line from the ignition. Power achieved! Next up, no sound. At all. Not even static. Help?!

Haven't made the dive yet, trying to make sure I don't spend too much over the coming months due to buying a house!! As soon as i know I can afford it without touching my overdraft, I'll get it sorted :)
