my intro. build? & questions: usp, hood pins, shift knob, spacers, vag, etc. thread.

see. thats the thing. i dont think my car is a USP my mech thought it was too. he thinks prev owner sold off some things before selling. i think he just put them on. itd say on the original sticker too wouldnt it?
according to your list. things i have. usp front. fishscale alum trim. and steering wheel. things i dont have. door blades. 18" wheels. rear bumper. spoiler.

Well the lack of the USP rear valence and roof spolier means it probably isn't. Those aren't things that you can swap easily! Might be worth calling an Audi dealership and see if they can look up your VIN.

Regarding the Audi iPod adapter, your iPod doesn't need to stay in the glove box. The cable they supply is long enough to where you can leave your device sitting in your console, attached to a pro-clip, or whatever. You end up with a cable snaking out of your glove box but that's no uglier than the tape adapter you are currently using. Again, there are those two other options you mentioned. I chose the factory option and its worked out well.

yeah. ive been meaning to stop by but the closest dealership isnt anywhere close to my daily commute.

and i remember reading that the oem ipod connector was nerf'd compared to the others. something about playlists? controls?
was just wondering if there are any other reputable brands people wanted to suggest.
there also arent any "vs." or comparison threads. unless i just really dont know how to search.

Car looks good dude.

As far as searching, I find the best method to be in the google search bar type "site:audizine.com" followed by your search. I find it works better than just doing a search in the site itself.

And that car history portfolio is mind-blowing! I've never seen that, it's pure genius!

As for auto volume and ipod connection, get an aftermarket head. I don't know how the stocks work, people seem to like them...but I enjoy the touch screen 7" that has all those features you want!

And the classifieds are your best friend.
