    S3 Tyre wear

    I was washing the S3 today and noticed the front tyres are scrubbed out on the inside edge. I was reading that camber can cause this, without knowing how much camber a S3 runs vs a standard A3, I was wondering is it normal?? or does it look like it needs a wheel alignment There is only about...

    RNS-E Bluetooth Streaming - Possible Solution

    I have been looking for a factory way to get bluetooth streaming in my 2012 S3. After some research I found that Audi offered a bluetooth dongle for the AMI that would work with RNS-E. It would allow stereo streaming and you can use the steering wheel to change to the next / previous track...

    iPhone 5 & RNS-E compatibility

    I hate having to pull it out to sync it. I was thinking about getting a ipod touch, then I could use wifi sync while the car is in the garage. Does anyone know of a stereo A2DP adapter what works with the AIM?

    Yeah genuine "lightning to 30 pin adapter" it's not the dongle, it's the 0.2m cable. Bought from apple store online. I ended up buying a ipod classic to leave in the car.
