Hi fellow Audi A2 aficionados, I’m thrilled to join this fantastic Audi community! I’ve recently been given permanent access to a 2005 Audi A2 and am eager to upgrade its media and audio system to a modern, touch-screen or voice-controlled Android-based multimedia unit. I’m specifically looking for a head unit (preferably with Apple CarPlay integration) that fits into a single-DIN slot, potentially with a floating or retractable screen, and includes features such as satellite radio, navigation, Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, parking cameras, and other advanced multimedia capabilities. If anyone has experience retrofitting modern head units into the A2 or can recommend the best models for seamless integration, I’d greatly appreciate your insights or first-hand experience. Your expertise would be invaluable as I navigate this upgrade, so please share any tips, advice, or recommendations. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with you all!

Hello, has anyone upgraded their 2012-2015 A4 Allroad Tdi Quattro Halogen headlights? Was it easy, what did you install, any part numbers & where did you buy the replacement headlights you installed...Please? I have looked online and conflicting information or not detailed enough, or not sufficient detail, so I would appreciate anyone that has done it to let me know. I am looking for brighter lights and maybe a newer look but more light is key, unless anyone knows what bulbs would be better? -
Hi all, I am looking at upgrading to an aftermarket stereo and have settled on the Sony XAV AX1000. I have never upgraded a stereo or anything similar before so I am looking for a little help for what I need. I know that I am going to need the dashboard trim which I imagine is pretty standard and can buy anywhere, I know that I will also need the wiring harness. Now with the wiring harness is there anything specific I should know for it or could I use just a universal one, I am not sure if there is any drawback I should note that I don't have the Bose sound system or any amp. Thanks!

I have a Audi A4 2007 B7 170. I have had the car mapped to 220 increasing it by 50 Bhp but time has now come where im due a cluth and fly wheel but want a upgrade. Does anybody have any recommendations on what i should get? Been told dark side developments are good? Plus i got a consistent dpf problem flashes up with the glow plug light with the dpf light and sometimes the engine management light the car goes in limp mode here and there then goes back to normal but throws out black smoke which is a bit odd. Been told i need a new turbo which i doubt. Any help and advice will be very much appreciated. Thank you

Looking to replace my 2005 S4 B6 stock 18" wheels with 19" Le Mans alloys. Has anyone done this? What exact spec 19" alloys and tyres will safely fit the car?

Hey guys Thought i'd join up for a b it of info: I've currently got the sport model saloon, getting a bit bored of the styling and wanted to spice it up a little. first port of call is sticking the S line exterior on it. Anyone have any experience with this? lots of front and rear bumpers without the grille/ rear available so would it be an option to buy the s line bumpers and fit the sport grill and diffuser? every other car i've had this sort of stuff is possible. next port of call would be suspension and wheels, what experience do people have with coilovers? not planning on super low but still want coils over springs. and finally recommendations for wheels. budget for wheels and coils is around 1200. Not a lot but its not going to be a show car, i just can't stand the sport wheels anymore. Appreciate anyone's input on this

Evening all. I have just bought an A8 3.0 tdi quattro, D3 2005 not facelift model, this afternoon. Obviously I am still trying to work out all of the settings etc on the MMI. However when I select Navigation, the screen says insert Disc. I have checked there is a disc in the reader but it is not an original, just a downloaded copy. My question is; can I upgrade without the original disc, and use a later version? Have looked on e-bay but don't really know what I should be looking for. Also don't have a multi-media reader, are these a simple plug and play? I realise that these are pretty lame questions, but am totally new to the A8. Any help much appreciated.

Hi All, has anyone tackled replacing the front grill on a Q7? Was wondering how easy it was? I have just purchased a newer all black one to replace my tired grey looking one, the car is black so will look so much better all black. From what I can see I take the top panel off above the grill then u carefully slide the clips out holding it in? Some advice would be great 😊 thanks in advanced. Dan

Are there any easy to do upgrades that will go nicely on the A3? Looking online and they all look a bit daft, looking for the slightly sportier look without buying the S3 :) model is the tfsi sport. Already got the oem mudflaps to square it off and looks nice, thanks.

Hi guys! i am a proud owner of a 13 plate 2.0L Tekhnic TDI! i'm looking to start modding it up a little, begun with some dark tints and now looking at performance. Now i have done my research on diesels and it seems performance wise there isnt much difference with a new induction kit and people tend to go for just a new filter. However, i have noticed considerable sound difference and the look itself i think looks much meaner. What are you opinion? has anyone installed a custom induction kit on a A4 TDI? any particular brands?

Hi, I have got an 11' A6 S Line, which is also my first Audi. I want to add a CarPC and still look stock, so I would ideally use the MMI screen ut add touch screen functionality. with this in mind I have a couple of questions below - 1) How can I tell what generation and version of MMI I have? 2) What is the screen resolution on the MMI screen? i.e. 640x480 3) What is the connection type used to connect the screen to MMI? 4) What is the connection type used for the AUX input on the screen Thanks
