Free Upgrades you didn't know you had.

[SootySport]

There are some features fitted across the whole VAG range of motors that some people will miss. Here's a couple to start you off-----------
1. Centre sun visor above the rear view mirror. It's just a small plastic pull down flap on the front edge of the headlining.
2. Parking place for fuel filler cap. The cap has 4 notches around the edge, use any 2 of these to hook it on to the top edge of the filler flap to stop scratches when it dangles on the rear wing.

Add some more if you can.

2 little buttons in driver door pocket for the alarm disabling when locking car (whilst up on ramps or kids need time out!!)

If you have dual zone aircon, you can sync the temp control for both sides by pressing down the driver side air con temp knob for a few seconds. Try it!

 

[SootySport]

Most of the above are actually in the Handbook but who actually reads it

 

[Matt10160]

I've just found out i have bluetooth handsfree after 2 years of ownership... Doh! Haha didnt even think to see if i had it!

 

[dannott90]

If anyone has the nav plus in their car, you can change the start up logo from Audi to Lamborghini with some vagcom tweaks

 

[Pedrödelabongo]

The Bluetooth handsfee - what audio system is that a feature of?

I do that just to annoy the Mrs. "Honestly dear I haven't touched your temp. control"

 

[Dan burns]

guess what it doesnt work on mine eeee this car i tell ya!!

 

[Dan burns]

I thought it didnt work on mine.you have to hold the drivers side auto button for several seconds and then adjust the temp and you will see both go up or down in sync

 

[SootySport]

In a similar way, both mirrors adjust when you adjust the drivers side, you then have to switch over to the passenger side to adjust this one individually.

 

[Dan burns]

Always wondered why my passenger one is off set lol

 

[ricostuart]

8 whole cylinders! Well, maybe not a frree upgrade, but definatly an upgrade

As a sado I love reading the handbook and did so again today to find the frequency of the headlight washers...

 

[SootySport]

So what is it , every 5 times the washer button is pressed.

 

[Pdunne75]

Apparently so and first time after lights are turned on if I remember correctly

 

[jaybv6]

I think it can be set in VCDS. My headlight washes activate if I have the washer stalk active for more than 3 seconds or so.

How do you know if your car radio has Bluetooth. I have a 2008 A4. It has a concert radio. Will this have Bluetooth?

Don't think BT is standard pal, I think it's a separate module that is an option although my talk out of my ****!!! Search for BT on your Moby in the car when switched on and see if it apppears, I might have a go as have same motor as you by looks of it, mines 08 sline 1.8t cab.

 

[Ianski68]

I will give it a try. Thanks

 

[Ianski68]

Okay tried the BT. New thread started. Further guidance required.

You may need extra modules to stream music through your speaker. Give HNH a message if you are interested and he can quote you up.
