What car seat: Radian 65 or Recaro Proride

Is anyone using either of these seats rear facing? I want to confirm that they fit and there are no install issues to consider.

What's your goal with these tires? How aggressively do you drive? Also, I'm assuming that you're looking for summer only tires, not all seasons.

If it's strictly road driving, no track or...

Anyone know a good detailer near between 128 & 495?

I'd like to get my car detailed to clean up some spotting issues. Do you know of a good detailer near Stow, MA? Natick and Wellesley areas are easy for me to get to, so anything in that general...

Cool. By the right tools do you mean the Audi tool stereo removal key? If I recall there is an audi tool to remove the stereo for about $15.

Audi i-pod adapter installation - is it a reasonable DIY project?

The dealer wants over $400 between parts and labor to install the Audi i-pod adapter. Seems pretty steep since the adapter is on dealer parts websites for $150-180.

I saw some threads and tech...

Where to go for detailing near Stow, MA

Does anyone have experience with detailing shops near Stow? Natick/Framingham would probably work well too. Just want to make sure I use a decent place.

TIA

Re: I had the old 8500 and upgraded to the x50. FWIW, I didn't find the upgrade worthwhile.

Read some reviews and test results and the 9500i seems like the way to go.

The range/sensitivity seems to be comparable to the V1. And with the GPS memory technology it the had no falses the...

Thanks, good info

It's a tough choice. Escort will charge me $80 to fix my 8500, so that's the most cost-effective option. It has done well by me and saved me from tickets several times.

But it's over 9 years...

Passport 9500ix vs Valentine V1 vs 8500? Yeah I know this gets beat to death

My trusty Passport 8500 has died, or at least needs service to get back to working order.

So do upgrade to the new Passport 9500? Switch to the V1? Or have it repaired?

Most of my driving is...

For most model years they come with cold weather, for '06 they are a stand alone option only

I think they put them back in the cold weather package for '07, and they may be standard on '08's (not sure).

Re: did the housing crack or was the gasket seated wrong?

Don't know, but they needed to order "some parts". I'm going to ask to speak to the tech when I pick it up to get the details on what failed and why (probably best guess).

What are you running for winter wheels?

Tried to use 16" 8 spoke wheels from my 99 A4 for winter wheels, but not enough clearance for the brakes. What are folks running for winter wheels on their 2.0T's?

Did S-Line package include brake upgrade for '05.5?

I was reading an article that made it sound like the S-Line package included S4 brakes. I believe the review was of an 05.5, and know that brakes are definitely not part of the package on '06 and...

Depends on your needs and priorities

In most cases, no. If you live someplace that it almost never snows, straight summer tires would be the ticket. If you live someplace that gets a fair amount of snow then summer tires and snow...
