Same thing happened to mine. Took it in to get it fixed under warranty and they had to replace the whole shift knob. Took a few days because apparently the part wasn't available in the States and they had to get one shipped over.

Doesn't seem to work on mine. I hit it and it tells me that I can't use the phone function of the MMI because CarPlay is active, but it doesn't show CarPlay. Seems like the only way that I can access it is by hitting menu and scrolling through the menu.

Damn....

Thinking this probably can't be done, but figured I'd throw it out there. Is there any way to code the Media Toggle Switch on the center console to trigger CarPlay? It's pretty annoying to have to hit the Menu button then scroll with the wheel to CarPlay if you leave the CarPlay menu. I have...

For anyone looking for a potential replacement to VAG COM, this might interest you. I was pleasantly surprised at the functionality of this software. Here's my overview. Figured this would be useful to anyone thats looking to perform easy software mods on their A3/S3/RS3.

I'll have to see how they look at the end of this week.

Just pulled the plugs on mine with the car off. Covered the connector with electrical tape and stuck it back into the socket. It's not a whole lot louder than before but I definitely notice little pops when I up shift with medium throttle. It happens at lower RPMs now though. Keep in mind I'm in...

Digging up an old thread. So just to be clear, the plugs should be pulled when the car is off or do you pull the plugs with the car idling in dynamic mode?

Interesting. I'll have to test it both ways back to back to see if I notice a difference.

Thanks for the sub! Hopefully the channel is entertaining and informative.

So wait. What is the difference between one press ESC off and hold down ESC off?
