    GALA and BOSE - New A3 Black Edition :)

    I like it! I have it with my Concert II+ (I don't think the Concert III is in A3s yet). It can be a bit erratic when just starting a journey, but I find it quickly settles down.

    Found this in my car.......

    As Paddy says, it is a tracker used by fleet companies. I have one in my ALD lease car. Very useful for me, but won't give you any beneift at all if you're a private second-hand owner. It records all trips made in the car, recording times, mileage and location (based on the local telephone...

    Installing a 12v socket into glovebox - possible?

    I've bitten the bullet and ordered the kit. I like the idea of putting a USB socket in the glove compartment best - everything runs off them these days after all. So I'm going to connect a new 12v socket, probably piggy backed onto the existing one. Then put in my Samsung Tab charger...

    Installing a 12v socket into glovebox - possible?

    Someone with an, ahem, Skoda has had the same thought. Installing a USB charging port - BRISKODA.net - The Skoda Forum and Community My only problem with that is, a) finding a small USB adapter that can handle more than 1A and b)fitting it behind the glovebox. To resolve the second...

    Installing a 12v socket into glovebox - possible?

    Thanks. I'm not too worried about getting the socket -just ordered a generic one off ebay. It's whether there is the space behind the glovebox. I'm being lazy basically; I'm hoping someone will know the answer, saving me the job of finding out myself!

    Installing a 12v socket into glovebox - possible?

    Hi, I hate having to charge phones etc, using the 12v socket in the centre console - can't stand wires trailing everywhere. I was wondering if it possible to fit a socket into the glovebox? My main concern is whether there is enough space behind it? Also, what would the best method of...

    Installing headrest-mounted DVD players

    Don't know about the quality, but going back to the first company I was looking at: 2 x 7 inch Car Headrest Monitors Black E1082 Just the monitors, no DVD players.

    Installing headrest-mounted DVD players

    I like your thinking! Still too much, but your link led me on to this: AUDI Q7 DVD TFT HEADREST MONITORS FREE IR HEADPHONES I think they are the same screens as the ones on my first link, but they show them in an A3 (albeit an 8L). What do you reckon - too big on the seats or can I get...

    Installing headrest-mounted DVD players

    That would be perfect, if it wasn't for the 1600 euro price tag. Too rich for me!

    Installing headrest-mounted DVD players

    Has anyone installed DVD players/monitors into their Sportback seats? I've been looking at the following: 2 x 7 inch Headrest DVD Player & Monitor with Zip Covers Black L0203 They are quite a bit bigger than the original headrests. Do you think they will look ridiculous? The black...

    Fitted Dension IPod kit - picture guide.

    I've just installed a GW16AC1 for my Concert 2+ head unit. That didn't come with a separate earth either (not that I could see anyway!). I just plugged it in and it works perfectly well, no problems with DIS.

    New A3 170 TDI Bedding in

    I'm on my fourth new diesel now. I've always driven them from new as I intend to continue driving them. They have all got to 90,000 miles without any issue. Saying that, they have all been company cars. If they were mine then I might be a bit more careful running them in. There is a section in...

    Black Edition

    I went for the manual; costs were escalating as it was! But so far, it's great. I'm hoping the engine will loosen up a bit, but it's one hell of an improvement over my last car, a Honda Accord.
