Looking to change the factory stereo

Followers

August 10, 2025Aug 10

Apologies if this has been asked before - I'd be amazed if it hasn't, but I'm brand new here.

The stereo in my car is really great. However the only thing it doesn't do is stream Bluetooth music from my phone, Spotify etc.

Is there any advice about how to go about changing it? I'm reluctant because, apart from this, the stereo is superb.

Any ideas on what this sound could be? Audi A3 8P

Lewbyleww · 3 minutes ago3 min

Hi all does anyone have any idea on what this distinct tapping noise could be? had the rocker arms, lifters, injectors and all cam followers replaced and is still present. Noise is at idle and speeds up with acceleration and can hear it inside doesn't affect performance. Been advised by three separate mechanics its not bottom end so at my wits end really, any thoughts appreciated. Thanks a7bcf128-5947-4002-afba-29c811dd5d88 (1).mp4

C5 RS6 034 strut top mount

petec5 · 8 minutes ago8 min

Hello all After a year of owning my first RS6 c5. It seems I'm in need of new strut top mounts. Do any of you have experience of the 034 rubber mounts? I've seen they are solid vs original ones that have bearings. How much of a difference does this make. And on a side note has anyone used RB Racing brake disc. What's your thoughts? Any help will be much appreciated Pete

Does anyone know what this high pitched noise is?

redaudi20 · December 11, 2025Dec 11

IMG_2335.MOV Hi there, My A1 1.6 TDI Sport 2017 makes this high pitched noise which sounds like it’s coming from the right rear side. It more tends to happen when the weather is cold. It starts when the car has been going for a couple miles and stops as soon as you turn the engine off. I have attached a video of the noise. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks IMG_2335.MOV

Alternator failure related to mild hybrid system?

PocketsAintEmptyCuh · October 16, 20232 yr

I've been seeing more and more posts across FB and multiple forums about people having the alternator failure related to the 48v mild hybrid system and wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and how their experience has been. I know in USA they have announced a TSB with an extended warranty for 7 years but I am trying to get more info from Audi UK but not getting anywhere. Has anyone had this issue and if so has Audi fixed it (if out of warranty)? It seems to be tha

Hi all, was on le shuttle yesterday coming home when I noticed my drivers mirror indicator must have had a stone hit it and broken an inch off, no damage to the mirror. Has anyone replaced one? Is it an easy job and where to get a replacement that is the correct whiteness without paying main dealer price? Tia

S-Line suspension change

lbr1978 · May 17May 17

Hi all Looking for some advice on changing out the rather firm and jittery S-line suspension on my 2024 A3 8Y (black edition) to something more comfortable and softer (possibly akin to standard SE suspension or equivalent). Any suggestions on what I should be considering and looking at for daily driving only please? I’ve heard Bilstein (B4s ?) and maybe the eibach pro springs would help make things more comfortable? thoughts and suggestions much appreciated. Any real world experience of changing

Latest SQ5 Transmisdion whine

Bas Ryan · Monday at 02:03 PM2 days

New to Forum. I’ve owned 5 SQ5 (all new or ex demo) since 2016. 4 V6 diesels which I honestly think are an incredible car and my current car the new V6 petrol version. The quality of this new model has definitely taken a dive but my main gripe is the awful transmission whine from 60mph upwards. It’s like driving an old Landrover. The dealer maintains he can’t hear it. Everyone who rides in the car or drives it spots it straight away. Surely my car is not the only one with this problem? Any thoug

Are S5's notorious for not being serviced?

ZeroX · Saturday at 10:46 AM4 days

Hi, following on from my previous thread, I have seen another car that I was interested in: https://www.evanshalshaw.com/search/details/used/audi/a5/automatic-petrol-white-coupe/06ce9494-f94d-f111-8fdd-000d3a874790/ When I enquired with the dealer, they said there is only one stamp in the book from February of this year, and no history at all in the Audi database. So there is only evidence of 1 service in almost 10 years. I am starting to get a bit !Removed! off with this actually, and it's real

Bose radio antenna mouse damage!

Robert Coop · Tuesday at 08:53 AM2 days

Good to join the Forum. A mouse got into my wife's beloved light blue 2004 A4 TDI Sport Auto Convertible (she has had it from new) and has chewed through the aerial cable under the back seat. and damaged it in two other sections. What connectors are recommended to re-join it and are they easily sourced - the garage made out I might need to go back to the loom - surely not? The radio is the original Bose Symphony. Thanks, Robert
