    Are you planning to replace the rear light cluster too? Can't see much difference other than front and rear lights - be interested to know how much it sets you back

    Aftermarket bluetooth streaming suggestions?

    Hi, I've recently bought a 2011 RS5. It has an AMI and I have an old phone I use for music, but I've recently started using more Spotify. Problem is you can't control it using the buttons in the centre console. Just to top it off the AMI connection is in the glovebox! Anyone have any...

    Bluetooth audio aftermarket - any suggestions?

    Hi folks, I'm using an AMI cable to connect my iPhone for music playback. I know the newer Audis have Bluetooth audio and wondered if anyone knew any devices I could buy to plug in to the AMI to do the same thing? Thanks in advance!

    Noob member, Few questions and intro.

    I'd be mindful of the DPF - I had problems with mine 3 months after the warranty was up and it cost me an arm and a leg to get it repaired. Took it to Audi, to be fair they gave me 50% off as a good will gesture, but I'm guessing they still turned a profit from my visit! Otherwise a great car...

    2011 RS5: what problems should I look out for?

    Hi, planning to upgrade my current A5 3.0 TDi Black Edition for an RS5 - I got a great deal on a 2011 model with 24,000 miles on the clock and am due to pick it up between Xmas and New Year. It's pretty well spec'd, just wondered if other RS5 drivers could give me a heads up about things I might...

    Portable Sat Nav

    Been having some fun with the 520 - still not got round to attaching the traffic updates, but so far i've yet to get lost! And realised that I've been going the long way round to get to some places, so I'm pretty sure I've been saving some petrol too! Can't believe I didn't know about the...

    Portable Sat Nav

    Picked up my Tomtom 520 with traffic updates this evening, and on first impressions it looks like a fantastic piece of kit (granted all I've done is navigate around the house so far!! But it gets me from sofa to fridge without any probs!! lol) Not had a chance to try out the traffic updates...

    which is the best tv

    All depends on how much you want to spend The best pictures come from a 1080 pixel television (resolution) and 100Hz refresh rate The best type is probably LCD ahead of plasma The best make - probably Pioneer - and if you have room 60" to really finish it off Of course that combo will...

    Portable Sat Nav

    I'm thinking about getting a portable sat-nav to save myself time and energy looking at road signs (my ability to map-read is deteriorating) Anyone have any tips on whats hot and not? Only going to be using it in the UK, the bigger the screen the better, and warnings for traffic cameras and...

    Frozen Cab Windows

    Maybe I didn't quite think through my decision to buy a cab. Everytime I need to use the car and the windows are frozen, when I close the doors the windows end up resting against the metal supports of the roof!! Slightly concerned I'm going to crack one of the windows at some point!! Obviously...

    New B8 advert

    Not sure bout the LED lights on the advert, but on the A5 they do look v. cool!! And given that the fog lights on the S6 are xenon, you'd think they'd do that as at least an option!! Apart from that, it has an i-drive, indicator lights in the wing mirrors, and 3-series rear lights... so we're...

    "Running in" new car?

    Take it easy for the first thousand miles but make the engine is pushed to different revs - I tried not to push mine over 4000rpm until the thousand mile mark. Its six months old now and approaching 10K - and still sounds a peach!!
