    Advanced Key, smaller alternative?

    I was wondering if anyone has found a way for the advanced key to fit in their wallet? I was thinking about purchasing a third key to experiment with, any ideas how much one would go for? Can a third key be programmed at home?

    1st Official 8V RS3 shots

    I don't really rate the R8 with RS models, its a totally different league of car. Having said that, the RS6 and RS7 are faster than the TT-RS When I say they have to fit within the RS range, its not always about 0-100, it can also be about prestige, engine type (some people want a N/A V8 @...

    1st Official 8V RS3 shots

    Max output numbers don't really tell the whole story. The 5 cylinder is going to have a lot more low / midrange torque / less turbo lag. The is no way it was going to be 400+ HP, you have to be realistic, the RS3 has to fit within the RS range. I would imagine an RS3 plus sedan is on the way...

    RNS-E Bluetooth Streaming - Possible Solution

    Mine stays active for about 10 min after locking the car, seems to power up again when you open the drivers door. I have had mine in the car for a long time now, no battery issues. The car is designed to be able to handle an iphone / ipod plugged into the same connector and they draw...

    S3 Tyre wear

    I was washing the S3 today and noticed the front tyres are scrubbed out on the inside edge. I was reading that camber can cause this, without knowing how much camber a S3 runs vs a standard A3, I was wondering is it normal?? or does it look like it needs a wheel alignment There is only about...

    RNS-E Bluetooth Streaming - Possible Solution

    Sounds like the music on you iDevice is encoded in a low bitrate. (either imported into iTunes at low quality or set to sync to your iDevice at low qualtiy) In my experience music through the AIM (with the device plugged in) sounds awesome at 320kbps, however 128kbps sounds terrible (cut out...

    RNS-E Bluetooth Streaming - Possible Solution

    I have been looking for a factory way to get bluetooth streaming in my 2012 S3. After some research I found that Audi offered a bluetooth dongle for the AMI that would work with RNS-E. It would allow stereo streaming and you can use the steering wheel to change to the next / previous track...

    Squeaking / Creaking bucket seats – FIX

The overall trip was about 500km each way. On the 1st day, about 100km from Canberra I got an error on the...
