    Central DIS stops working at random and stops the car from reaching sleep mode so battery drains overnight.

    Thank you It's a 55 plate but close enough if the stocks were plentiful

    Central DIS stops working at random and stops the car from reaching sleep mode so battery drains overnight.

    I've been chasing down the cause of an overnight battery drain, which is centered around whether the DIS display is working when I switch off. I have a workaround which I'll share with you, but its got more in common with Voodoo than A3 8P electrics. It's also not a solution as it's too much...

    No ignition control over radio and no rear speaker

    I'm posting this issue I resolved in case it of use. I have just bought a 2005 A3 with a double DIN Audi symphony unit that has had an iPod/Phone + Aux lead added. The person who fit that simply unplugged the longer (often 3 part split) iso connector for external cd changer/CAN/rear speakers...

    VCDS or VCP?

    If you're after alternatives I also looked closely at OBDeleven and Carista. I chose Carista as my existing elm 327 bluetooth dongle worked and I used it on my EPB today to fit new rear discs and pads. The app included charging the battery. While I was playing with the interface and options I...

    Anyone able to fit cruise for me?

    I looked into this for my Q5 SE. The key is what else is required. Using my full VIN a local specialist in Poole confirmed the worst. Stalk and cover can be had for under £75. Apart from the coding work there is also the 'control ring' bit that sorts out how the wiring connects to that...

    Q5 door puddle lights

    I fitted 2 pairs in UK stock off Amazon. They came with exactly the right connector to make it a simple swap electrically. They came with two extra wires, no instructions and I didn't use them. All fine and no coding required for constant light ala oem puddles. Now the caution. The new...

    DVD / TV Video in Motion

    It's the fact you've taken the effort to enable it in a country where it''s disabled as standard that puts the onus on you to prove it isn't a distraction to you as the driver. If you'be been pulled over for erratic driving or simply staring at an object on your MMI (insert your own) while not...

    NAV update - DB version still the same.

    Just traded in my A6 allroad for a Q5 with old firmware and maps database. I asked the local dealer where I didn't buy the Q5 for information on what updates were possible. They offered to look at my Q5 and advise on updates for £60 plus £100s more to actually do some updates. For anyone...

    Aftermarket HU in Audi A4 B6

    It would be really useful if you could remove the unit and post photos of the wiring diagram on your actual unit, plus the wiring and connectors going into the back and whether your speakers grills have BOSE on them. That should enable accurate suggestions. When removing the stereo insert...

    Not happy

    Sorry to hear about the damage. Though you can make a data access request, that would only cover images of you not your car itself and to release images or data (reg numbers around your car) about a third party would require their consent. If the third party was suspected of criminal damage...

    Use the money saved on not having a girlfriend to fund an RS3 and trade in your A3 (better if you had both keys though)
