If it's anything like the 'pucker' mark one of those phone holders left on my MINI's dash, you might be SOL. My only suggestion is to let the car sit out in direct sunlight, and see if the dash...

I rarely carry coins, but I keep an old pill bottle full of quarters in the glove box (for parking meters or self-serve car washes).

My guess - only a guess - is that the 19" wheel/tire package, with the standard suspension, is going to produce a harsher ride. Adding the magnetic ride will allow you to switch up the firmness of...

Congrats on the SB. I'll be test-driving one myself, once they arrive at the dealer. I'm in the DC area and run A/S tires, but I also run 17s on my S3 for my 'winter setup' and will go back to my 19"...

I could be wrong, but my pea brain sees '5 free updates' separate from 'covered for 2.5 years'. Meaning, just because Audi releases new updates every 6 months, doesn't mean I have to update my maps...
