    Little Annoyances

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I just bought my first Audi a little over 2.5 weeks ago so I'm still learning about the car and such.

    But I just wanted to point out what is hell is it with the sun roof cover always opening an inch or two from acceleration? I mean I'm probably just being a little picky but damn that's annoying...lol.

    I was about to ask the same question on the forum. Mine does that also and it really bothers me. I wasn't sure if it was just my car.

    I guess I'm lucky mine doesn't do that. My pet peeve is that I can't see how many kms I have on the car with the digital speedometer set

    Yeah, I am pretty sure they all do it. Really not even aggressive driving required for it to slide back.

    Or the oil temperature, or anything else useful.

    Save your beers :) and buy an OBDeleven around $60. (https://obdeleven.com/)
    Best equipment I've bought so far. I've done a ton of adjustments with it.

    Yea I think that video brings out you can buy a cheap android tablet, which even with doing that it's still cheaper than paying $300 plus for a rosstech vagcom.
    Having a friend with it helps too though, but sometimes I want to make changes without having to rely on someone else. That's why I went this route plus it's future proof.
    I hear they have an iOS app in the works though just don't know the release date.

    You can - just push start without your foot on the brake.

    I know, but id like to listen to the radio while parked and just have power to the radio. kinda like when you just turn the key in the ignition half way on older cars.

    Depress the ignition button > press it again. Only the Radio will stay on (for roughly 10mins).

    On another note I also have the sun shade issue, if that's the worst thing that happens during my ownership, I'm happy.

    that's a good idea. to bad it doesnt just stay on until you open the door. wonder if there is a vcds tweak for that?

    The parking cam shuts off when you reach a forward speed of 10mph or greater. You can increase this usually to a maximum of 20mph. My past vehicles could anyway.

    I believe there is, but you're gonna want to go ahead and not do that. If you climb out when you think it's in park, you will likely run your own ass over.

    I just found that even with the car off, the radio will come on when you push the button on the center console.
