CarPlay wasn't around in 2012 so I suspect the car has an aftermarket kit installed, there are a few aftermarketsolutions out there with varying levels of integration with the car controls so it depends which but I know the one in my wife's A5 is either touchscreen or you can use the scroll...

Hi All! Sorry for double posting however I figured considering they're the same mechanism I'd try my luck here also. I'm having a bit of a conundrum with the clutch on my wife's A5 (2010, 2.0 diesel, FWD, Engine CAHA). A couple of weeks ago I was driving to glasgow and the clutch pedal only...

Very smart! Love the A5 in grey, and the sportback is a great all round car. my girlfriend has the pre-facelift sportback in Lava Grey, would have probably gone for the coupe but we have dogs and the boot is perfect for them.

My girlfriend has an A5 with the earlier 170bhp engine in, its a great engine with enough power for daily driving. There is the option to remap which would see 205-215bhp but at the moment she’s more than happy with it standard. The option to jump past 200 makes it the one to go for in my opinion.

Those wheels are amazing! Love them

Looks to be somewhat age related and the newer systems are a bit quicker to react. The system in my car is coming up 10yr old now so makes sense that it isn’t quite as good as the newer ones

From what I can see in the manual there’s no setting for sensitivity of the HBA on B8, the Automatic Headlights setting in my manual says it affects how soon the lights are switched on when in auto mode but nothing regarding high beam assist. Maybe that’s a difference between the B8 and B8.5...

I can highly recommend Volksparts, you’ll be in good hands there.

Yeah the carplay dongle is to connect my iPhone, it does wired and wireless and also wired Android Auto. I rarely use mine without my phone connected. It does come with the easy connect phone mirror app installed but from what I’ve seen it’s not very good (tried it a couple of times and got a...

I have a very similar unit fitted, it's a bit of a pain to fit (make sure you 100% check they're sending the RHD metal frame, I got the LHD one with my kit so had to modify it, they did offer to send a RHD frame but I'd already waited 3 weeks), it also needs a bit of cutting of the plastic...

I didn't know that actually but I'll take a look thanks!

I did my MMI 3G High (annoyingly I did the 2018-2019 maps around a week before the 2019-2020 maps became available, haven't bothered with the 2019-2020 since as I now use CarPlay for nav) It's really easy just takes an age, the download is huge and it takes forever to copy to the HDD. Luckily I...

Depends what you classify as high mileage. As above a solid service history means the mileage is less of an issue but in a B8.5 I'd still be looking for 60-70K miles max along with a good service history personally.

Definitely not worth it in my opinion. I have it on my car and never use it, I think it’s too slow to react to oncoming traffic. By the time it flicks back to dipped beam I would have already seen the oncoming car in the distance and knocked high beam off.

Is that low to mid 30s in the S4?! Crikey. Both of mine have been 25-28 absolute max to a tank of mixed driving. On a run/single journey I can sometimes nudge 30 on the DIS but I don’t do that many long journeys really.

If you don’t mind the fuel consumption S4 is the one, although I’m obviously a bit biased. it’s just the best all rounder in the price range IMO. I drive quite sensibly a lot of the time and never really see over 25mpg average for a tank, that’s mostly my 40mile/day commute and weekend driving.

Yes I have one fitted, and you're totally unable to start the engine until the code has been entered. You turn ignition on, enter your code, the indicators flash a couple of times on the dash to let you know it's been 'accepted', and then you start the engine. It takes a little bit of getting...

It’s a standard 30cm USB-A to micro-usb cable plugged into a cigarette lighter USB adapter.

Wow really good price and a real alternative to an Autowatch Ghost, I’ve not heard of them before but would definitely have considered one before I got the Ghost installed

It's possible to do yourself however there's a lot of support and help out there (and map files) for EU and America but not for AU. Essentially it's the same process but you'd need ROW maps (which cover Aus) and the lastest Aus MMI firmware If you're not confident it's definitely worth getting...
