It's really cool to see you turn the time backwards from an infotainment / interior prospective .. car looks a whole lot newer now!
Well done dude!
Thanks broski
Crazy how intuitive the unit is.
Since the harness is tied into the CANbus, everything registers through the head unit. It also came with a wireless obd2 adapter, also registers into the head unit. The native mmi settings, screens, & options are still intact and accessible through the homepage.
Still in the process of configuring settings, reprogramming console buttons, and downloading apps from the app store.
A recommended upgrade for any B8/8.5 & 9; worth it.
How has the reliability been on that thing? Interested in getting one to get a larger car...
Purchased 2/5/20 @ 65k for 16.9k; currently at 72.5k.
Great gas mileage for such a large / heavy vehicle. It's been super reliable thus far; routine maintenance has been just about it, pretty much.
If you are looking for the same or similar, I'd recommend looking up here (Seattle, WA). Due to the region/climate, there are tons of them in the marketplace; so naturally, pricing reflects that.

Marcel, you need to look into that height sensor bracket to get it low at the touch of a button.
Just for shits.
I can adjust the ride height via mmi. It think it was on auto there; it's always adjusting itself depending on center of gravity. In lift mode, I think I can raise it +/-4". In dynamic, it'll lower 2 to 2.5" from normal stock height. These figures too, can be adjusted via the VAG to alter default heights to each mode.
Modes are Lift, Offroad, Comfort, Dynamic, & Auto.
I think spacers are about the only mod I'll do to this; perfect the way it is.
That and, don't want to screw with the active warranty.
Got to check out a local tuner shop last weekend, unicorns everywhere.
I was fortunate to stick around for most of the day to witness a Mk4 Supra drive in with a baseline of 280ish, and drive out with 585hp to the wheels on 92 octane
After touring the facility & viewing active projects, these guys are legit with their builds.
It's been an awesome winter; practically snowboarding every weekend.
The S crossed 100k a few weeks back; still Z.E.R.O. issues... it go without saying that this is a solid platform. Heck, most reliable German car that I've ever owned
A few updates:
- Milltek Resonated Exhaust
- 19" Rotors Wheels
- SeaSucker Roof Rack
Coming in hot from the back, snow bunnies.
make way!
Dude, your car color, wheels and roof rack really
make my lululemon tight in the crotch area. I mean,
they were tight when I put them on but now I have to
double over and tuck into the waist band when I drop
the kids off to school.
I guess don't be looking at this thread when you drop
your kids off to school is the real lesson here.

Indeed; specs on these S4 rotors weren't cutting it at +43. At $450 though, I couldn't pass them up.
My setup prior on the double spoke 5 was 19x8.5, +33, 15/20mm
Added 25/30mm to not only cover the difference, but also widened the stance a bit to what it was at OEM+.
She's breaking necks for sure.
