Well I’ll confirm SFD protected modules are unlocked by OBD11.
Even after buying OBD11 I still don’t trust it to make any changes, so will always revert to VCDS or VCP.

Yes, I watched a few videos and would rather have the ability to copy existing codes before trying new one's.

Was the OBD11 unlocking of SFD protection easy enough?

It's a bit of a faff really, you have to use an Authentication app first and then fill out some details in the OBD App.

4 months with this beast now Still gets looks & comments every day, rocket

 

[HulkRS3]

How come you only paid £46k for yours? That’s some ****** discount that! I thought I done well getting my launch edition at £57k!

The true figure is higher but a settlement is minus the interest.

 

[NOJ’S TOY]

Does anyone know of any dealers that might have a test car? at this point I'm getting sick of my dealership saying they don't know when they will get one

Milton Keynes have a Daytona Grey First Addition that I drove on Saturday

Shut up Resembles my last name, lasted 3 months okay with it so keep quiet pal

I’d comment on your car but it seems you don’t have one, must be tough

 

[Charlie Farley]

Can some of you chaps refrain from using less than user-friendly language in your replies, just because the nasty words filter works, it's not an excuse to just fire away with whatever words come to mind in a reply.
I'm not being Mr grumpy here, so just be a bit more thoughtful in your replies please as it's not just you Rs3 chaps that read here.

have a good one and keep it sensible, please.

You know who you are and you're on my radar.

Anyone seen the latest video of Archie Hamilton dynoing his vorsprung saloon down at dms?

comparing it to the Evil GT’s 408bhp 562ft done by awesome gti I know all dyno’s will give out different number but something doesn’t add up surely launch edition and vorsprung being so similar should make the same\similar power no?

The 418 PS in Archie’s video is 412 bhp, so 4 bhp difference is well within the margins of error I’d imagine.

Be easier to buy a car without them.

Why screw about like that with a brand new car.

Lots of Porsche GT3 owners used to remove them and fit steels for track days! sort of odd but one gravel trap stone and theyre knackered

Makes the dynamic pack seem good value though

I hate the Audi standard brakes with a passion so much so that I changed both the RS3 and 4 over to AP Racing.

can you by any chance check if rs has ambient dash loom connector I will like retrofit that

 

[HulkRS3]

Recorded this a few days ago just out of interest as to how well the mic would pic it up and it seems to have done quite well. Hence the dodgy camera angle but thought I would post it for anyone interested anyway

Not all of us want all that Vorsprung tat

I had issues with this, the dealer ended up taking it in and getting it sorted

Nope. Two months in and still not managed to do it…

Asked dealer to help whilst I was in booking an oil change yesterday but they couldn’t do it either - turns out I wasn’t doing anything wrong and it’s an issue at Audi (not dealers or my car) and their servers.
