  1. I think Hazzydayz offer a similar service and you won't need your passport to get to St Albans! 😁😁
  2. A few people I know on a VW site have used these guys for some work in the past https://www.hazzydayz.com/ They are reasonably close to you? The options you are looking for are the same ones that I had do e by a guy I Bradford https://www.makcoding.co.uk/ At least 2 of the options need you to be on site. You can also look at obdeleven https://obdeleven.com/en/ you may be able to do a couple of the jobs yourself if you're confident enough to try it. I'd have to say that active lane assist is bit of a "marmite" option. To turn the retrofitted version off (and sometimes you will want to turn it off!) you have to turn off ESP because a factory fit option has a different indicator stalk with the on/off switch. I've got the obdeleven gear in case I want to switch it off permanently.
  3. Have a look here https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/ As long as you know the model and year.
  4. To the original poster's question. A 2019 A8 should have the capability to stream from your phone, play through SD card, USB direct or through Android Auto or Car Play. There is a good overview of the whole system here https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.pocket-lint.com/cars/news/audi/140154-audi-mmi-infotainment-tech-review-explored-cars.amphtml None of them will make the speakers / sound quality any better....
  5. But it's still good to get it confirmed 😁 https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/motoring/audi-or-bmw-drivers-safest-5435741
  6. Yes I realised after posting that the VW was not DSG and wasn't as "clever"! 😁
  7. We mentioned this in a couple of other threads. There are so many chips in modern cars and you can't build without having them all. A lot of sensors (steering, abs) use older silicon technology and that is where volumes are most restricted. With EVs it will be a even worse - and of course you have to factor in finding a charging point and hoping for reliable electricity supply from windmills and solar panels.... 😁
  8. Thanks Steve 👍 Looks like it's a feature! It just sounds awful. I'll blip the throttle to recover if I don't want to listen to it.
  9. Hi, I've had my 2l TFSi for a month or so now and the gearbox generally responds well and chooses the "right" gears. I've started visiting my work office once a week and although most of the drive is motorway / A roads the last mile or so is down a reasonably steep hill. I've noticed that the auto gearbox seems to select a very low gear for this hill (2nd or 3rd) but it doesn't seem to compensate for the speed that I'm actually doing (maybe up to 30/35 mph) and so I get this very laboured high revs and to be honest it doesn't sound healthy. I don't have hill assisit or hold on and the simplest thing to do is to switch to manual and change gear (or slow down!) but it is a bit annoying. I've previously travelled down this same hill in a 3l diesel and never had the issue - but that is a lower revving engine and it was an 8 speed auto gearbox. It's not a showstopper but just wondered if anyone can offer any input as to why this might be happening. On my VW I could reset the gearbox with ignition on and foot flat down on accelerator for 10 seconds - but I don't think that would solve this.

    I pm'd him with a couple of links and suggested using translate for German sites. Looks like there are a few options out there 👍
