NHN your such a jerk. I have no problem hacking things as long as they look correct and professional. as for following the line, if you follow the 6-7 years on Audi ownership that I have under my belt and the amount of mods/projects I have pioneered and completed compared to your seemingly insignificant knowledge base you will see that I'm far from a follow the line kind of guy.
6-7 years, please craig dont show yourself up to be a badge snob as it mean sweet fa to other members tbh, I've been in the vag badge since 97, audi since 01, so whats that say overall, do we need to start swinging dicks above our heads whose got the bigger one cause atm it seems you have & it aint in your pants love, look in the mirror again.
As for technical experience, if we have to go down that path, I was soldering when I was 8 years old, now 36, we maybe dont all have pasts in these fields as you have for 7 years in vag installs, but we maybe do have technical backgrounds in many others, which helps us to port to these areas, so give it a rest on the I know everything about audi routine, as we're not even questioning your abilities are we, just how to fit a cd changer *** in a glovebox that doesnt have it.
I know the experience you have in these fields, it is regarded in circles as commendable, but sometimes fella I also see where you're blinded by your belief in the way things should be done, according to you & you only, maybe with your many years of experience in the field as such you can maybe see past your self loving & see there are many view points that dont neccessarily add up to yours, again this is a forum.
As for pioneering, lets be honest here, what we maybe do seperately is read a book or wiring schematic in the 1st instance, its not pioneering ok, its not revolutionary, its the mere fact we take the time to read & learn how to do these things that others dont, I'm not afraid to say this as everyone knows they could do these things themselves, but either dont have the time to learn or cant be bothered or make more money working whilst we do the donkey work, which is why you work for dealers up there who just markup I assume, they know this & accept that me, you & andy amongst many many others can do these things for them, now tell me I'm wrong about this.
Now stop trying to boost your self esteem & get of your high chair & start seeing we all have ways to do things, not just yours.
I'm not against you 2, we all have experience in our fields, but maybe you need to respect the fact there are others out there that do have some knowledge of the same things you do & maybe dont neccessarily agree with your viewpoint, if you can see this then I would say everyone can get along.
