My retrofit started working out of the blue 6 months later. I have no explanation, it just did, without me touching anything. Probably the fact that I chose to make my own wiring harness and buy used original chargers(instead of going for the brand new OE Kufatec kit), had to play a role on this...
Sure, I plan to report back. But this will probably happen during late Spring, early summer.
On a side note, I don't think the Special Actives do well with harder or shorter springs. The way their double valving works seems to require a good amount of stroke travel to show its merits. My...
Thanks. I've already done the wheel downsize from 18" to 17". Minuscule difference. There is a chance that my tyre choice during the downgrade was not the best, though. I should have opted for the softest sidewall in the market, if I knew which one that is.
I don't think the Bilstein B8...
Hello everyone,
I have the basic suspension (1BA) with 17 "OE wheels and the ride still feels bumpy and rough on the poorly mainttained bad city roads in my country (Greece). I don't hear any strange noises or vibrations, which makes me think there is nothing strange going on with the rest of...
Unfortunately I am not seeing a link for PMing you on your profile page. Please feel free to do so if you can see it on mine
Is there a picture of the T12n pin numbers? I just want to make sure I've got the correct ones. But in any case, 1 &7 should be on a edge side and on mine both edges are...
@strandgard I tried installing it only to find out that pins 1 & 7 on the T12n connector are already utilized. Do we know what else could be utlizing those and what can be done?
Thanks a lot for spending the time to go have a second look at it. I really appreciate the updated information.
Considering that the quadlocks are notorious for having very short leash/give, do you have any tips for getting enough space to work on the quadlock?
Hey @strandgaard , is there by chance any "official" document where this specific wiring you mentioned is shown? I just want to make sure I have the correct information, as I have now collected all the materials and planning to go ahead with it soon. Thanks.
Hello,
It looks like the face lifted B9.5 model has rear USB ports for the rear passengers, which is hosted on the back of the center console. As these are charge only and only seem to require power delivery, I was thinking perhaps it can also be done for the pre-facelift model?
However, I am...
Perfect. Thanks again. I will open the box and act according to whether it is occupied or not. Wouldn't it be better to use a piggyback so that an actual fuse can be connected for a proper circuit-breaker?That's if it is possible to pass the cable to the front(facing) side of the fuse box....
That's great. I thought that specific position was not empty, that's why I asked about the piggyback. Doesn't the smartphone interface use that plug? It says "telephone".
Thanks a lot, you are awesome! I think based on all the valuable info you have shared, I will collect all the electrics/parts required from ebay/ali/whatever and have a go at it myself, as the local car electricians really hesitate to tell me if this is doable(doubt they have ever done it)...
Hey @strandgaard , sorry to bug you with my noob questions. I have some trouble finding the t6bt connector on the internet. All my searches bring nothing back. Do you happen to know a good link from where to buy it? Also, what kind of wire is advised for the harness? Specific gauge, etch?
Thanks a lot, that's really helpful. I am really a n00b, so I would need to find the courage to do such electrics work on the car. Which one of those 4 is power?How does the qi get the necessary power?
I have seen some cheap copies on ali but it looks like they simply hijack the cigarette...
If I wanted to install it as "phone box Light", meaning without any wiring to aerial, what are the minimum steps in terms of wiring, to ensure the MMI sees it as original equipment?
