Nottingham Alignment Service use a Hunter machine and charged me £45 for cash a few years back. Imagine it's gone up a bit but shows you how much of a ripoff Audi is.

Mine is a Scosche Revolt Pro. Will get an Anker one ordered methinks.

Same here :(

If you tell the service advisors you've made several changes to the coding of the car, if they run it through SVM it'll wipe any changes back to how it came out from the factory. If you wipe the cruise control coding, the dash will light up like a Christmas tree and leave the technician working...

Tell them you've retrofitted cruise and they'll leave it well alone ;)

Ask the dealer for a price on the service with you supplying the oil. They may object at first or claim it's not possible but with a few prods of a decent service advisor they can do it. Alternatively get a quote all in from an indie and get them to price match. Stoke Audi refused point blank...

Unfortunately not, I'm ooop norf :) up in the West Midlands. If you can travel I've got no issues with you trying it though.

I would say your DAB unit is faulty. I did consider the FISTUNE unit from Kufatec but it's a lot of money with the only real advantage of supporting DAB+ which of course the MMI 2G unit can't do. Not worth 3x the cost of an eBay unit that works - guess I fell lucky that I got a working one first...

Although I'm not 100% on the Avant I don't believe it will need any additional power running.

Karl's links are pretty much spot on. You need to code the engine and the steering module. Once done you need to calibrate the angle sensor or your dash will be like a Christmas tree and have ESP faults. Depending what age the car is and which stalk pack you've purchased you may need to change...

Damn the FT needing a subscription to read their news :( Personally I am happy to stay with the AudI brand mainly because they do the product I want. While I agree it's best to walk with your feet and stop putting money in their bank, it's hard to find another brand that offers equal quality...

Whilst I understand VAG won't want to give money away unless they're forced to, I am surprised they don't offer an incentive on new cars such as increased deposit contributions - they make money on the car and they're already raking in pretty high APRs on their HP/PCP agreements in comparison to...

Can't beat doing car maintenance in a pair of socks :D** **I do not recommend this due to the possibility of broken toes and lack of clean feet for the next 10 years! :)

The 3m cable I used was 000098654 but mine was for a saloon and also required an extra right angle flylead and plug. Looking at where the Avant's is fitted and the way it's installed I don't think you'll need the extra bits and will require a much smaller cable. If you need a different length...

Echoing Karl's comments - fair play for having a shot at it...a lot won't attempt this kin of stuff but it's all about learning and then it becomes second nature. I remember when I did my first set of pad's - was absolutely bricking it on the test drive :D

Being an owner of 2 cats myself Paw prints on bonnet = fail

Can you plug in VCDS and run a scan? Make sure you've added DAB to the CAN gateway first. I had a dud antenna cable I brought from Ebay on the cheap from Poland but got no signal and caused an error code. Brought the genuine article from Audi and it burst into life.

Wasn't there a 3.2 badge on the old A3 back in the day before they moved it all to 2.0 Turbos?

Ah ****** forgot you have an Avant - the aerial set up is different to the saloon. Not sure if you need different rear quarter glass to do it the OEM way - you did on the A6 C6 Avant but not sure on the A4 B8.

I've retrofitted the above. I changed the antenna amplifier in the drivers side rear pillar to the DAB version and then ran a cable from that to the DAB unit in the boot. You need a right angle FAKRA connector at the antenna amp as the trim won't fit back on otherwise.
