Default The only problem I've noticed is...

When my V710 is connected via my cradle and I get a call waiting, it doesn't show the caller ID info on the MMI and to replace the call with the incoming one I have to hit the phone button on the phoen itself (while sitting in the cradle), however when I'm connected via bluetooth, the caller ID shows up great and it gives me the option of replacing the call with the incoming one.

This could very well be a V710 issue and not an MMI issue. I know the V710 has had issues in the past, but that was with Bluetooth, which seems to work pretty well except the fact that I lose the bluetooth connection every now and again...

I agree. I have the sport package. It was difficult to get but worth it

Default Very nice! Question:

When you say the sports package is lower, do you mean that the air suspension can be lowered even further than the 2005? Or are the springs lower to begin with? Unless I just can't see well the ride height on both your pics look roughly the same.

None the less the car looks awesome

Default Re: Very nice! Question:

Thanks AUDISYTE.

The car is lower, but I don't know the answer to your technical question: is it the springs or the air suspension bladders? Sorry.

The images don't tell the story correctly because the 2005 had 20mm spacers and filled the wells. The 2006 hasn't yet been fitted with spacers.

More images to follow next week.
