    Retrofit RNS-E into a Bose car again

    Hi, Just a quick question that has been prompted by me talking to someone with the same car as me who also has Bose, who reckons it's the best sound ever. I've had my car (56 plate A4 Avant S Line with Bose) for two and a half years. Before I got it, it had had an RNS-E unit fitted at some...

    Glovebox changer won't turn off

    Hi. I finally got round to retro fitting a standard Audi glovebox changer today. I got the lead from a scrap yard, but as it was pre wired into the car, I had to cut off the stereo end. I've spiced a new blue mini ISO connector on with help from another short lead I have for reference and a...

    Car thinks boot is open

    Hi, Setting off the other day, I had the warning on the dash that the boot was open. I got out and opened and shut it to make sure. The warning stayed on. I then had a fiddle and with the ignition on (so I could see the display) I manually closed the catch with a screwdriver acting as the bar...

    Door skin material

    Hi. What are the door skins made from on a B7? I've just washed mine for the first time, and they seemed to push in as though they were plastic. Is this the case? Cheers MMM

    Mp3 track names in DIS

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any way to make the track names that appear in the DIS scroll. This is playing mp3s from the SD cards in an RNS-E by the way. It drives me mad that it only shows the first 8 characters of the song title! Cheers MMM

    170 TDi Quattro power loss and economy

    Now then, here goes, could be a long one. Picked up my car (see sig.) 10 days ago after having a 1.9TDi 130 for 4 years. At first, I was too wrapped up in the creature comforts to properly realise that it doesn't feel nearly as powerful as it should. What I did notice however straightaway was...

    Bumper/grille - bonnet panel gap

    Hi, I've noticed that there is a gap that I would consider too large between my grille/bumper and my bonnet. Is it possible to adjust the bumper up a bit to close up the gap? I've looked through the the pics in the post your pictures section, and some seem to have a big gap, and some not...

    Grille on my S Line

    Hi, I've just noticed that my grille is different to any other S Line that I've seen. I've looked through all the pictures in the 'your car' section, but they all have the same S Line grille. Instead of the rectangles, my grille has honeycomb shaped holes. Any ideas? MMM

    Auto Lights and Come home lights

    Hi, Two questions for you. (Can't find answers using search) Is it possible to retrofit Auto lights, and if so, how? Can Coming home lights be activated just with coding? Thanks in advance, MMM

    Speakers Hissing

    Hi, I unlocked my car earlier and opened the rear door for something, and heard the speakers hissing very faintly. I naturally looked to see if the radio was on for some reason, but it wasn't. I locked the car and tried it again, and it did it again. I then sat in the drivers seat, and locked...

    Adding standard changer

    Hi, Picked up my new car yesterday and it has an RNS-E unit fitted, but no changer, so in order to listen to a cd you have to take out the DVD nav disc. My simple question is this. If I purchase a changer from ebay, is it simply a case of plugging it in at either end, or is there some sort of...

    No sat nav display in DIS

    Hi, Picked up my new car yesterday and all's well apart from not getting any sat nav instructions on the dash, only on the RNS-E unit itself. I've tried switching between all the different screens, i.e. the different trip screens. Is this normal, or is there a setting that I am missing...

    mp3s

    Does the RNS-E, or the associated cd changer play mp3 cds? I know that the unit has the ability toplay mp3 from the SD cards, but just wondered whether it will do the cd ones as well. Thanks in advance, MMM

    A4 TDI 130 developed noisy idle

    Hi, My oil level warning light came on this morning, so I popped open the bonnet and gave it a top up. All seemed well, no oil warning light on, and we went off to Southport to enjoy the great weather. As I came off the motorway and got onto the normal roads, I noticed that the car had starting...

    DIS Language

    On my 03 plate SE, whenever I get a message up, ie brake light out, it's in German for some reason. My local independent couldn't reset it with his fancy laptop gizmos, and thinks it may be able to be done using the car's own buttons. Can anyone help with this? "Bremslicht recht" may be...

    Symphony radio code

    Hi, I've got an 03 Avant SE with a symphony wireless in it. I never received the code when I bought the car, but need to remove it to remove a phone car kit. I'm sure I read on here somewhere that if the stereo goes back into the same car, then the code doesn't need inputting again. Can anyone...

    Finally!

    Right then, had my black A4 Avant since August, and have been deliberating ever since which wheels to get for it. After all this time, I decided to go for the ones that I initially thought would look good, the original RS4s. 18" is the perfect size for the car, and the RS4s look soooooooo good...
