    If I wanted to be a douche I would say search, given the naivety of that question. Its a proprietary cable for your OBD-II port which paired with their software on a tablet or your laptop allows you to change many factory settings for your car, amongst other things like read and clear error codes.

    Or if you want to be super easy about it and don't see yourself needing a more detailed tool, the Carista App and a Bluetooth OBDII adapter will do most of the fun/easy changes.

    yellow fogs or color of your choice, I changed some interior bulbs, i changed my shift knob to a black forrest industries one . . um idk that's about all i've done diy, well i changed to an rs4 grille and diy'd it but i will say removing the front bumper wasn't the most fun and I probably only have half the belly pan screws remaining now but I learned a little bit in the process.

    For an intake?!? That's total crap. Where does it stop? Should we remove an aftermarket shift knob too?

    It's a DIY but OP likely doesn't have one laying around. He was looking for something to do on this rainy day.
