How To: 8v Mods and Jobs

I'm looking for a guide on how to retrofit a flat bottom steering wheel. I have a the 3 spoke round steering wheel at the moment, so i'm guessing i can keep using the same airbag. Thanks in advance.
 

DRL Brightness increase

Tried mine tonight FL car. They are at 127 already. Would the FL car be set up differently??

Also tried chirp when locking and now I get fault code EV_ECM20TFS0208V0906259J (AU37) guess it does not like soething

A gentle push in the direction of @DJAlix .. i guess they must be different modules which is surprising...

Yeah sent him a full read of my car today.

The code is because VCDS does not know what it is yet. Sent read to Ross-tech as well they are working on a solution for the FL

Hi,

Thanks for your reply @TimWills28 I'll try pitching the questions to the resident gurus you mentioned. It's so annoying that the LED front lighting module is 90% compatible but just won't quite work as it's designed to.
 
Send me a pic of the connector I've got a deconstructed full interior look here I might be able to give you the bits

Is that the *** or BOSE sub?
I take it you're coding it in?
I'm looking at Bose sub to fit into the standard system with an aftermarket amp but I don't want to tap into the rear channels to get the signal.

Keeps us updated Tim!

As far as I'm aware it's the *** sub. Don't think I'm gonna go down the amp route, gonna wire both the sub and centre speaker I'm getting directly into the quad lock connector that goes into the MMI.

I think the stock system MMI's built in amp can accept and power the additional 2 speakers without an amp.

The issue is you need either VCP or someone with it to proper let the MMI accept it I believe.

I'll be doing all the DIY work before taking it to yoda @DJAlix to calibrate it correctly. He's been doing a lot of them recently for peeps to great success.

I means B&O in my earlier post not Bose lol
Is this possible to put the centre speaker in and the B&O sub instead of the *** sub?

How is the system Tim?

Ah nice! You can get the B&O tweeters too and change them out, heard it makes a massive difference.
Have you got the part number for the sub, centre speaker and plugs by any chance?

Can the tweeters been swapped out? Is the waiting already there?

I believe so, however you need to add a capacitor. I know the B&O centre speaker is a straight swap.
Check it out post #26 by larbel http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/hi-and-mid-b-o-retrofit.281328/, did you ever finish this @larbel?
Yeah spoke to him but still haven't got round to sending an e-mail to @DJAlix for some more info! Will get round to it soon.

I'm a little busy over the next couple of weeks so I've not gone to town on research yet lol
 

I tested them and never find the time to really install them... There's definitely improvement, but not to the extend that would give me the urge to do it right away, I have so many other retrofit lining up to do LOL
 
Has anyone had any experiences with the Apr stage 2 and can give any comparison with the MRC tune ?

Reactions: DJAlix

Hope this helps, do not to my method if you have the chance! Get the pins and push them through! Job done!

Then speak to @DJAlix
