    Facelift Apple CarPlay not playing music properly?

    I was in contact with a few retrofit company's here in Denmark who could perform a version upgrade to the head unit. That way it would get the same version as the later produced car (with exact same hardware). Audi could not offer the same upgrade and told me it was a safety setting, strange...

    A3 8P1 Cruise control...retrofit

    Then there is no problem at all. You would only experience issues if one of the cars were from 2010 facelift and on.

    Auto boot opening

There have been quite a few cases now where the metal part, where the strut is mounted has started to show visible damage. Also, many says that it may work for about 6 months and then the power...

    Jack in your A3 Sportback

    Thank you all for the responses. I don't think a jack will fit in my boot well as I have the sound system which includes a loud speaker in the well. There is only a bit of free space around it where the tire normally would be. The loud speaker is put into the space saver wheel. Not sure where...

    Jack in your A3 Sportback

    Hi, I purchased my A3 Sportback Facelift without spare wheel and therefore with tyre sealant instead of a jack. I am now looking at purchasing a second hand jack including the retainer for it. I think it should be fitted behind the small door in the trunk. Anyone who can help me with the...

    Facelift Sun visor for right side

    Hello, I am located in Denmark where the driver is positioned in the left seat. My sun visor on the right side contains a big print about the airbag and I kind of think it ruins my nice black sealing. I then looked at right side sun visors in the UK and as I can see there is no airbag print (I...
