S4 all the way. Don't see me moving from Audi anytime soon. S3 is very likely our next car, with the intention of making it a bit of a labor of love. Though the Mrs keeps mentioning the RS6 but man that's an expensive beast!
You won't regret an S3 such a perfect balance between practicality and fun. Really gets going when you want
MIB2 High = Hi Resolution Screen, Hard drive based navigation, Audi Smartphone Interface, USB connectivity + more
Yeah, makes sense. If the ASI was wireless I'd be interested for sure but other than that I think I'd rather just stick with MIB1 tech pack.
Yeah don't blame you haha. I made sure to get a car with tech pack specifically for the better screen
While wireless ASI would be nice it would drain your devices battery. Yes wireless charging is available however its no match for the power rating and speed of cable.
Is it possible to have the Audi Smartphone Interface and USB connectivity on the PFL with tech pack?
No idea but the Audi wireless charging pad is no match for a cable.
Oh yeah completely agree with that. By wireless I meant "true" wireless (phone anywhere within the center console really, I have mine mounted on the vents) as opposed to sitting in the box as you might as well just plug it in. I think a 15W wireless charger would be more than sufficient in that case however.
Understand why most don't want to use the armrest to keep their phone in but unless you like "gadgets" n stuff stuck to your dash its the only way would you be able to wirelessly
Could be anything from a wiring issue through to a MIB mainboard or indeed amp issue. Wiring is simple enough to prove and fix however there are not many out there who can fix a mainboard on these units. Most people normally replace the MIB unit with another but as yours is retrofitted you will need to find another "activated" one. For a new and unused unit from me you would be looking at approx £1200.00Indeed, it is a vast improvement, compared to MIB1!
A question for Schizophonic :
The blog post refers to a new (unused) main unit. What is its cost? I'm asking because I have retro-fitted an MIB2 (OEM re-furbished, VagNavisystems) unit, but have random sound issues on the right speakers, usually when very hot or hard turning to the right, and would probably examine the purchase of a brand new unit.
@DJAlix: Considering that you work on such retro-fits, have you ever experienced a similar issue?
Thank you both in advance!

Just googled it.Been told by a mechanic I know that releasing auto handbrake, leaving ignition on allows pads to bed changed without any need for any software / connection to car . Though I have heard of that going wrong somewhere.

Indeed. Should produce some interesting development data and will be doing a piece on MagRide calibrations as a follow upNice one. Proper job then by qualified people
Did you not do @MattSedg mag dampers? I couldn't see any difference in ride height?? when parked next to mines or do you calibrate the settings on the dampers to be more stiffer or compliant over stock? ergo nothing to do with ride height at all??? Just curiousFirst service:

Cannot remember to be honest. Has been a lot of Jack Daniels since AiTP9
So what springs have you settled forCannot remember to be honest. Has been a lot of Jack Daniels since AiTP9
Impossible to adjust the ride hight without changing the springs etc.
What a calibration does is set the zero / resting position so that the MagRide controller can correctly supply each damper with the connect amount of power needed in order to keep the vehicle “flat” while moving. If the zero / resting position is set incorrectly too much or indeed too little power will be supplied to the dampers and affect the ride accordingly.
Sounds like you need to pop over so I can retrofit a Genuine OEM Audi Reversing camera for you
Front sensors with display I think would be the first thing if you can do that, although camera is also tempting.
