Euro Front APS Installed and the Flying RS4

**JoeyManhattan** · 07-13-2016 09:11 PM

Since I installed the Euro bumper I finally got around to wiring the parking sensors in, unfortunately I didn't have the mounts for the front center two so the system is still down until they come in.

It was one of the easier mods I've done between my two cars with the Kufatec kit; the biggest pain was nodding the switch since it was never designed for a US vehicle and there is no place for it in the dash.

That is awesome!! ..including the flying Audi :)

Regarding the front parking sensors, so, do they just beep like rear sensors when in reverse? or do they also activate a low speeds when driving forward? Is the button an over-ride switch if it (or the spousal unit) gets annoying? Thanks

Nice going. Wonder how many ConUS RS4s have done this?

It seems to work like this:

When in an gear other than reverse, the switch turns the system on.

When in reverse, the switch turns the system off.

There seems to be only one person that's done it, but it may be slightly possible to have the system display visually on the RNS-E.

Crazy stuff! Where she headed?! Is the RS4 going into battle? Maybe need to install front bumper gun and missile launch mode...

So I got my hands on a euro front bumper as well. From your experience do you know if I have to order the euro bumper mounting kit as well? Or can I get away with the existing mounts.

P.S. I'm not concerned about the parking sensors.

Nowhere special, still in the US but it was easier than driving.

You don't need the Euro mounting although it can't hurt to shave a couple of pounds off with it.

Thanks Joe, do you happen to know the part number or where I could source one?

Honestly, talk to Alex at Europrice-he's helpful and takes the work out of importing.

Might be up there in a month, can talk shop and share some cold ones but will not have my ride. Assuming I am ready to drink again after celebrating the Stenson triumph.

**JoeyManhattan** · 07-18-2016 07:14 PM

I'll be around, more than willing to kick back a few, after listening to the MTM through the tunnels of course.

I'd love to join you all to swap a few lies, and hoist back an adult beverage.

**JoeyManhattan** · 07-19-2016 10:14 AM

Alright, we got three in. Let's plan this out and maybe get a few more.

Right now I'm free after 2000, and before 1030. My schedule will change next week but still able to meet up.

The more people we can get in on this the better; I'm able to be ready for a meet somewhere after 2030ish as I'm in South Boston and have to drive to Chelsea to pick up the car and ditch the uniform.

Oops... Meant to say: Got caught up in evening chores... What's everyone's weekend looking like?

**d2a4** · 07-19-2016 10:48 PM

Love it. How often does it fly?

**JoeyManhattan** · 07-23-2016 10:46 AM

My schedule is now 04-1200, so I have most of the day to do something.

Don't know if you're still around or not, but if you are, I'm down for a meet.

**JoeyManhattan** · 07-23-2016 06:24 PM

I'll be around for a while, just need to organize a day ahead of time since I still want to see the sights of Boston.

What did you use to touch up the finish on the switch?

Thanks

This may sound strange, but a sharpie marker. I tried plasti-dip, paint, and both didn't stay.

Since the touch up is on the edge, it can't be seen easily anyway so I figured what the hell...and you can't really tell at all unless you look with a flashlight.

I'm going to try and have a custom one made but I'll see what company would do it.
