Have you guys notice when you’re on the highway and the front lights and fogs are on, you turn on the windshield washer, the fogs turn off by them self…

- When you change lanes, just tap up or down, the turn indicators blink 3 times for each tap.

- Set control for the right side passenger mirror, go into reverse and the mirror tilts down so you can see the curb, only works for passenger mirror though

I tried that parking light thing, it's cool, had whatever side I picked lit up, does it waste your batteries though? Is it like leaving your headlights on, battery-wise?

what do you mean by "set control"? i tried a few things and it didn't work.

[romeotech]

When you want to move your mirrors to your liking, you first pick a mirror with the controls, left-neutral-right, the mirror controls on the door. That's what I mean, set it to the passenger mirror, go in reverse, mirror tilts down.

[AlcatrazT2]

hm...yeah i did that...didn't work.
i had it on neutral before...set it to the right...put it on R...started backing up and nothing...
what year is your ride?

yes the windshield washer... I don't know the purpose ??

[dpatel]

The pop up headlight washers only activate when the lights are on and you press the spay button. If lights are off, then they don't pop up.

=============

2003 A4 3.0 Quattro.

Afterwards, put mirror setting back to neutral and it goes back to previous position.

we where talking about the windshiel washer and not the headlight washer...

[Any Condition]

If your key remote does not work, before you run to the dealer for a new battery try this.

Put the key in the ignition and turn it on to the AUX position (instrument cluster is lit). Wait 10-30 seconds.

It should I guess reset the key. If this doesn't work than you need a new battery.

Only the 3.0's do the mirror tilt.

[AlcatrazT2]

[LAZY TURBO]

Damn 3.0's.



Doesn't work on my ride.

My friends A6 though, yes.

If you have the lighting package with the self dimming mirror when you put your car into reverse the self dimming feature does not work, so you have an unobstructed veiw. Also, when you put the car in reverse the HVAC system automatically goes into recirc. so you do not get any fumes in the cabin.

-John

Its not just the lighting packae that does this... they all do as long as you have the auto dimming mirrors, when you shift into reverse they dont darken.

[a4tunate]

I think that the doors should lock when you release the e brake

[A4TwoZeroT]

it locks when you go like 7 mph... i think thats pretty low and quick..
what about the people that dont use e-brakes? i do.. but theres people that doesnt..
just my opinion

No idea what you guys are talking about. I use that thing every day. I love it.

[element256]

^^Yeah me too...but I guess not that many people drink in their cars and it doesn't hold a bottle of water at all

If your taller then 6'3", no matter how you adjust your seat, you can never get it low enough, so by an A6

Im gonna totally disagree with this, and why you ask because I have a friend that is 6'6" 285lbs (he plays college football) he has drove my car several times and the 1st time he got in he slid the seat all the way back and was like damn this thing has a lot of room I need to slide the seat up some, and he has never said the car was to small and he has also rode in the back a few times.

[element256]

yeah i'm 6'3 200 (pro madden footballer...what) and it's fin by me. seat's to the back but height's not an issue

i'm gonna try this on the way home tonight.

Thanks, I'm gonna try this out... (I always wait until the sunroof is completely closed before popping it up)

[bananas]

The De-Bose procedure posted here is bunk. I'm not sure what the purpose of the Radio/NAV setting is, but it only drops volume *temporarily*, and does not alter the frequency response.

Try this:

1. Turn radio up to volume 15 (note the sound)
2. Enter Radio/NAV, turn to 0
3. Turn radio down one notch to volume 14 and immediatly back up to volume 15 (note that it sounds exactly like it did before)

4. Keep radio at volume 15
5. Enter Radio/NAV, turn to 5 or -5 or whatever the max is. Note that it gets much quieter. Also note that the VOLUME has changed, not the frequency response.
6. Now turn the volume DOWN one notch to 14 and back up to 15. Note that the audio returns to EXACTLY the same levels as it was in step 1

:D

There is an actual DeBose procedure but it requires recoding via VAG-COM. I did it on my radio, but the actual numbers weren't documented for my radio code. I'll see if I can find the numbers (I believe I originally found them by searching AW's VAG-COM forum).

[bananas]

Speed Sensitive Volume Control (SVC)

This setting in your radio will increase the volume level of the radio based on the speed of the vehicle. This is so you don't have to compensate for road noise by turning the radio up and down as you speed up and slow down.

Hold Menu on your Radio for 5 seconds until you see "SVC". Change the value from off to 5. The higher the setting, the more the volume will be increased based on speed.

[afrosk8er2003]

hmmmm, i really got my hopes up for the de-bose, i'm gonna go fiddle with it anyways.

[afrosk8er2003]

for the "de-bosing" i heard an increase in the frequency but really didn't feel any bass increase so i agree with monkey crazy bananas.

I have used a couple of these. Holding down the auto button to simoutaneously set the dual climate control and the + - under the dash to dim the interior lights. Did not know either of these!!

Okay, I've tried the climate control trick and it's cool. But I want to set it back to independent climate control (stock setting). How do I do that??? Please help.

[chaua1]

Just hit the passenger side climate control buttons and it should let you control them seperatly.

Also if you twist and hold the sunroof knob all the way it will go back an extra 5 inchs. into the roof.

On my sunroof if you twist it all the way it will retract even further but causes alot of wind noise when driving.

I'm confused about this. What do you guys mean about getting the sunroof further into the roof? When I open mine it goes all the way into the roof already?

in my usp, if you rotate the roof switch until it stops clicking it auto opens but if you look at the roof you can see 2" of sunroof still. but of you rotate the switch more and hold it, that 2" tucks right in.

[BigZ67]

i dont really get this sunroof thing, when i open mine it auto goes in like that, i just have to spin it, no holding or extra turns..

[gsxr150]

Humm...cool, but if I don't get to see if from inside the car I don't care about it.

Thanks though! BTW- I loved the climate control thing, the sun flap, and the seat storage. Cool stuff.

[romeotech]

This was overlooked by me and saw a Audi tech do it and I felt dumb. I never knew you could open the trunk with the hidden button under the lid, above the license plate.
I always either used the button from my key fob or the latch in the driver side door. That little switch is coolness. hahah

i dont think in the 05 models u can do this, i think it came normally as feature.
