Very useful :)

Hi all Bad news . I have been asked to be at silverstion and british f1 GP as i work for mclaren . Ive been here since 5am and i have to stay till monday . Our brand centre arrived from austria :) its build from 17 trucks and it takes 28 hours to set up. I can post few pictuers from the paddock if anyone is intrested So i wont be able to attend vag live :(

Or abit random but I do have a thing for BMWs Ceylon gold metallic!

Leading on from that I do think Renaults rouge flame is nice too!

Thats fantastic thanks sooo much, I have emailed about 10 different companies trying to find genuine mats! I notice they use the phrase "Audi A6 4B". I have been searching Audi A6 C5 as that's what I thought mine was. I get confused with all these types! To confuse matters further, my vehicle was first registered 7th Feb 2005. Which technically makes those mats not correct but I am sure they are, my car seems to be a very very late one as it's definitely a C5 (or a 4B?!) Oddly, the registration is LL54, which throws me completely! I probably bought a ringer! I will grab the full set http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Audi-A6-4B-from-year-2000-Rubber-mats-Foot-mat-front-rear-Set/132200112803?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D44761%26meid%3Db5ab3931affe468ab7611b461419ce22%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D132233049052 Yes those stereos really are fantastic, I was very dubious when I ordered one for my wife's van. She had the old Ford cassette deck and wanted something with aux in for the kids story tapes, CD/DVD for music/documentaries for kids on long drives, plus iPod connection and above all totally handsfree phone so I can finally ring her when she is driving without her having to find a lay by before answering (years of annoyance that one!). Just to get a basic CD player/radio with bluetooth phone ability was going to be well over £100 so I started looking around and then found these android jobbies. I uninstalled lots of the games and rubbish on there, keep kids fingers away as they don't do computer games in the house never mind in the car! For £120 I got her basically the same stereo as that above, and could no doubt get the audi one similar price at the place I got hers from - lightinthebox.com. I can't recommend that company though, their customer service was SHOCKING, worst I have ever known and I have dealt with some of the worst in my time! But she wanted to spend as little as possible so I went for it anyway and touch wood it's worked perfectly since fitting it, and it really looks smart in her dash. What I loved the most is the sat nav. Because it's android you can install any one of hundreds of satnav apps, iGo, TomTom (yuk), Google maps etc. We chose Sygic which is brilliant, and because the stereo has such a good processor, the direction voice is bang on time unlike the delayed reactions of our TomToms. It can warn of traffic too. The stereo can have its own internet connection, DAB radio, TV tuner, even its own flipping email address for Gods sake! Obviously I won't be doing that! I have a nice wallpaper of the kids playing on the beach which comes on when she starts the engine! Re the air suspension, I spoke to the chap who sold me the car and he confirmed what he did.... Overhaul (piston and seal kit) for the compressor, and two new airbags on the front. He said it should be working perfectly so I will try it again tomorrow.

Have had this problem with other vehicles, not needed to do this with the Audi. You might be better getting in touch with an independent ICE company like Absolut5. They specialise in VW transporters but do other vehicles too. They will be able to provide you with the correct connector. If they can't they will certainly point u in the right direction.

WOOOOOOOOW 324,000 miles!??!?! That's !Removed! marvellous! Mine is on 95k and I bought it with hopes of keeping her going many years. Yes I am not really into technology much either but with 5 kids CDs just get ruined so I caved in and got a 120GB iPod which stores every bit of music I have ever owned, and sits nicely on charge and permanently connected in my wife's van, just tap the screen and it randomly picks a song, !Removed! brilliant and no more scratched CDs under the driver's seat! I have since purchased new copies of old CDs so i still have a decent collection for listening on proper hifi at home!! Yes I agree re wanting to keep the dash looking nice and original. I did however just find that they do one specifically to fit into the A6 and it looks like it would suit the interior very nicely indeed. Still looking around but here is an example - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-1997-2004-Audi-A6-Camera-Map-Android-4-4-Autoradio-GPS-DVD-Satnav-Headunit/401136862001?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Incredibly clever things they are, I only use a handful of the features they have, but that alone makes them great for me. On my wife's van i fitted a reverse camera costing £120 which replaces one rear number plate light so you can't even see it, wired into the reverse bulb so it only sends live feed when reverse gear selected at which point the screen automatically switches to reversing camera, brilliant in her transit minibus especially in busy car parks etc. Just a thought - your car must have had failed air suspension at some point? Do you not use it or have you had it all repaired? Mine was overhauled by the previous owner (so he said and no reason to disbelieve him) and it worked fine on the way home and first day, but today it won't seem to go to level 3 or 4. it flashes but doesn't get there, maybe i turned the engine off too soon, will try again later. Am I right in thinking the levels are: 1. Low - sport 2. off road 3 - seriously off road 4 maintenance (for going underneath) ?? Thats something like what the last owner told me but wasn't sure if that was right

Hi Jesse welcome to the forum :) I'm assuming your a4 has Bluetooth? If so it might be worth you trying to play the music through the Bluetooth/phone setting instead of the media setting, if that makes sense? Cheers steve
