DIY - I like

[xULx]

Not sure if all these route back to Audizine, but it makes finding DIY a whole hell of alot easier. Sorry if this is already very known in this community.

wow, still helpful. Randy should add this to the FAQ

[xULx]

I may still be Audi ignorant, but research is my game....well if i had any that is

[xULx]

Also I think a poll of DIY should be taken.....if the DIY projects are good and have pics they should be consolidated onto that site, rather than just random ones floating around...I think this should def be a FAQ

[00s4slvr]

nobody knew about audidiy.com??

[fly300kts]

I did made and post few of them and even after sending numerous request to the Admins, they were never added to the FAQ's. Oh well

Thanks Phil. Ill see if i can bug admin enough to get these in

[Matt@EuropaParts]

Now someone just needs to create a Bluetooth retrofit DIY (or link me to one...)

[xULx]

Matt.
Its on the DIY I posted. It might help, but it proves why it would be cool to fill that sit up with all these wonderful DIY

Bluetooth - http://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec134.shtml

[Matt@EuropaParts]

Sweet, thanks! Hopefully that's close enough to the OEM BT install...so far I haven't been able to find a DIY for the OEM one.

[fly300kts]

Thanks Phil. Ill see if i can bug admin enough to get these in

Let me know if it works

I dont see why we dont have a DIY sub section like in the other B5 and B6 threads. Would be very useful. That way instead of searching us B7 guys can just click on that.

[xULx]

Ok everyone. This is the email I just sent admin. Hopefully it gets to them and starts something up. If anyone else has anything to add please post it. - Jesse

Gentlemen,

My name is Jesse Urban. I am registered under username xULx on Audizine Forums. I have used the forums to gather valuable information which was absolutely crucial in assisting me with my Audi. After talking to many members of the forums, I realized there was a B5 and B6 DIY thread. but not one consolidated DIY page for B7 owners. Eventually I discovered http://www.audidiy.com/b7a4.html. I know this is also a thread on Audizine with many B7 DIY write ups. However, between my previous link, the thread, and random DIY floating around on additional threads, it was very hard to keep track of what I was looking at. It would be of the highest convenience to consolidate these DIYs into one user friendly thread/webgroup.

My proposition is this. Make an announcement to B7 owners and allow an open thread for us to post our DIY. You can rate them if necessary to make sure every member of the B7 forum is getting the best possible information available. When this thread fills up, post everything to http://www.audidiy.com/b7a4.html, while still maintaining a sort of posting thread directly to admin for new DIY. As I mentioned before the admin thread can review these DIY and post the more helpful ones to the site.

If you have any comments or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. This idea will make alot of forum members happy and it will also promote a better sharing of information.

Thank you very much,

- Jesse Urban (xULx)

From what I've been told... you gotta rip the passenger seat to do it and I also heard it's all pre-wired... just plug in the OEM module. Just from what I remember from reading on this forum for so long.

[xULx]

Bump!

Ummm anybody still want to bug admin with me and see if there can finally be a DIY section for B7 A4? I know its close to the B6 and everything, but there is still enough of a difference where this would help.

I still think its mad good idea to have a DIY section in the FAQs. I'll shoot the admins a pm.

[xULx]

^ Yeah, I gotta get some of the heavy hitters back on about this. Shit even Phil was SOL when he first tried. Persistence my friends. Admin is cool so who knows maybe they will add one up after all the other changes they just pushed.

[Soul Kitchen]

nice, very helpful. hopefully that sticky gets made by the admins..

[colt45]

I have seen and used that site before. very helpful.

[ThaVerge]

Did we ever get a compiled list of DIYs?

[ryanworth]

This needs a daily Bump until it happens!

[Anthony]

You guys want a separate FAQ/DIY Subforum in here, like the B6 guys have?

Absolutely! The B7's have been around long enough to pack a subforum full of DIYs.

I mean Phil (fly300kts) alone posted like 20 of em!

Seconded! Been itching to do some changes for the past month, but spend too much time searching and reading stuff that might not even be the right instructions.

Surely we do

[Anthony]

OK, guys. Starting linking to the DIY and FAQ threads that we should move on over to the new B7 A4 FAQs & DIYs subforum.

[fly300kts]

Thank you Anthony.

Phil

[beantown]

Phil - lol why'd you bump the thread again? Anthony already set up the DIY subforum.

[fly300kts]

Oops, I missed that...

[beantown]

Oops, I missed that...

Haha all good. Thought I was missing something here.

You need to give Anthony all of your DIY thread links so he can throw them into that forum!

[xULx]

Yes there is plenty of DIYs not covered in that subforum yet. Anthony....anything we can do? Need us to pm them to you?

[beantown]

Yea I'd be more than happy to search and compile some that haven't been identified.

[Anthony]

I guess I didn't make that clear enough. I wanted you guys to post the links to the threads here.

Thanks.

[xULx]

Cool, Thanks again Anthony.
