    I've had this twice in my ownership - I just wipe the sensors clean and the issue goes away.

    Whilst I can't help tell you how to install the sensor the wiring you see will be for the auto dimmer.

    Headlight range control defective

    I don't suppose you've enabled ADS with VCDS or Carista have you? Note that enabling “Show suspension option in ADS menu” may cause a “Headlight range control defective” fault on cars that don’t have dynamic suspension. If that happens, deactivate the ADS suspension setting in Carista and if...

    Concert radio died and now car showing low battery

    Well here I am again a few weeks later with a dead car! Battery metre is full however the car just died at random and refused to turn over. Currently at the garage. Fingers crossed they can find what the issue is and that it won't cost both kidneys!

    Concert radio died and now car showing low battery

    Hi guys it must be the battery - I was mid way through taking the radio out and suddenly it sprang back into life. Then when i tried starting the car it wouldn't turn over. Got a neighbour to jump start me and all is okay again. As you guys said the battery is probably almost dead and sped up...

    Concert radio died and now car showing low battery

    Ah okay great stuff. Job for later as my trim removal tool and bolt set is at home! Well that's the thing I don't 100% know - I've never had any battery issues but it seems coincidental to hit me this morning the next day after my radio dies completely. I don't know when the battery was last...

    Concert radio died and now car showing low battery

    Okay so I located the correct fuse for the Radio/MMI and swapped it with a known working fuse and still no life to the radio or display - The fuse for the radio/mmi worked for my dash light fuse slot when tested so that rules out the fuse. Is there another fuse on the backside of the radio itself?

    Brake sensor

    I've used just a standard Carista OBD reader for fault checking and nothing comes up brake related, perhaps more advanced tools are needed. Annoying indeed!

    Brake sensor

    As my post above I have that same warning light come on every so often despite my pads being full. I have Brembo brake pads and these you can pull the wear sensor cable out and replace if needed. I actually did this at first as I thought it was a dodgy cable. Guessing my issue is another cable...

    Brake sensor

    I have the B8 and my brake pad light goes off every so often despite having lots of pad left. I can imagine its similar if not the same on the B8.5 but if you remove your wheel you can get to the cable and remove it without taking the pads out.

    It's a good tool for sure, and if you're on android there is ways to uhh, use it 100% for free... I don't agree with the pricing model for this though.

    Daft question - do I have to get dealer service to stop notifications?

    You can also reset the service alert with Carista. I can actually reset mine within the car settings itself with no tools needed.

    Audi S4 2010 streaming music through Bluetooth

    Get yourself a Bluetooth receiver and run a hidden aux lead into it. I've done this in my car and hidden it in the center console and my phone auto connects and instantly plays music.
