    DIY: A3 8P reverse mirror dip mod

    One thing I missed after having owned an A3 8V was the passenger mirror dip on reverse. The A3 8P never had this option, but the highline door control modules do support it. The idea originally came from this forum thread. Mirror adjustment motor: The 09-10 A3 8p facelift mirrors ("dumbo") are...

Once the xenon fires, the first few seconds it changes color from blue to white (as expected), and when the light intensity increases it starts to flicker for 20-30 seconds before it "settles". It...

    RNS-E Mk2 blotchy screen

    Recently got myself the Mk2 unit RNS-E (8P0035193B). But as soon as i fired it up, I noticed these blotches on the screen. Anybody experienced this before? If it's permanent I'm returning the unit! (The car is a A4 B6, but i figured that RNS-E mk2 is much more common in the A3 8P)
