    Android Auto upgrade

    I have a 2015 8V A3 Saloon, I'm in the market for a Android Auto upgrade, currently thinking I'd opt for the cheaper third party box vs the upgrade with OEM parts My question is who's bought one of these and is happy with it? I'm reasonably handy so happy to self install, however looking at...

    DAB gone, SIM not working, what next!

    Many months ago my DAB radio stopped working, now the SIM card isn't being recognised for connected services. I'm wondering if it's antenna related? Has anyone had a similar issue? FM and AM still work, are all aerials in one location? if not where are each of the aerials located? I'm assuming...

    Was giving the car a clean before the MOT tomorrow, all looking nice and presentable and the boot wouldn't open, assuming I'd got some water in the electrics or similar I used the manual release and found that all worked fine, but only intermittently both the remote and the release button was...

    I've recently found my Online Traffic updates have stopped working, Data SIM is working fine for all other data services and my traffic licence was renewed about 4 months ago. No changes on my behalf or recent third party activity. Anyone else experiencing this?

    POI Database builder

    After having a battle with the POI builder on the MyAudi site I decided to reverse engineer the database format and write my own application to build it 'off line'. It's a bit niche in it's functionality at present but I'd consider adding specific features if others would find it useful? --...

    POI Locations on Google Satellite View

    After loading some POI locations into my A3 Saloon MMI with Connect, I was a little confused as to why they didn't appear. I happened to be in an area without signal and spotted that after the map reverted to the internal maps the POIs where indeed there. Having now disabled the Google...

    Roof Bars for A3 Saloon

    I'm heading up to Leicester to collect my new A3 Saloon tomorrow and whilst leafing through the accessory catalogue I was surprised to note that there isn't an Audi branded option for roof bars on the Saloon, I've had a search on the net and can see that Thule offer a suitable kit but wondering...

    Thoughts on Nappa Leather vs Alcantara/Leather

    Looking at spec'ing a new A3 Saloon, I'm going for S-Line and so the interior choices are limited to three options, I think I've discounted the cloth option, it'd be great to hear peoples opinions between Full and Half leather/Alcantara options. My current thoughts are if I go with Full...

    Black Styling Pack

    Looking at spec'ing a new A3 Saloon, I'm going for S-Line (Daytona Grey) and if money was no object I'd pick Black Styling, however from what I can see there is very little to 'make black' as the base model already has gloss black grill? Thoughts?
