Hey vinman,

Superspring does make downpipes for the 3.0TDI, while APR has their Carbonio intakes. I haven't see a full exhaust system from any manufacturer...maybe another member can chime in on this one?

APR does have a flash for the 3.0TDI but just a heads up, flashing your vehicle will void your warranty

do you think that it is something you have work on before?
do you think it is something i can do to fix it?
thanks
Hey goldy1003,


Your 2007 A8 should be equipped with a motorized sunroof deflector. Check that first and ensure it is not binding or seizing.
If it is the sunroof motor itself, check if the sunroof guides are free from debris and that there is nothing impeding the glass as it travels. Also, visually inspect the tracking to see if both sides are aligned.

Accessing either motor requires some interior trim removal...it all depends on how mechanically inclined you are

Hello,

I have a 2005 A6. I want to install a port for iPod use. Is this possible? What is required?

The vehicle has a DVD navigation system. Is it possible to play music DVD through this player? I'm guess I would lose the navigation capabilities if I did this. Alternatively, how do I go about upgrading the navigation system?

Thank you.

Hello, I have a 2013 s4 and am looking at buying a 2014 A6, there is a Land of quattro package on the 2.0t and I am trying to find a picture or video or something to see what it looks like, any thoughts?

Hey goldy1003,

By any chance do you have access to VAGCOM? A scan will determine if any of the modules are reporting errors.
The MMI runs on a MOST system; if there is an interruption in the ring, an error will be reported.
The 'no key' message may be a low battery, faulty antenna or a glitch in the ignition module.
The seat memory issues could be related to the comfort convenience module.

All of your issues correspond to certain modules in the car...before replacing or condemning anything, a VAGCOM scan is where I would start.

Hey bernard_jospeh,

With your A6, there are two options which retain the look of the dash and functionality. Because the A6 uses a MOST system, the options are fairly limited.
The first is an AMI retrofit kit from Audi...pretty much the entire system and glovebox. The second is the Dension Gateway 500 as an aftermarket solution. There are other vendors which sell stand alone navigation head units but we can't comment on their quality or how well they work.
With regards to the music DVD, did you mean a DVD Audio disc? You would somehow have to bypass the "No TV in motion" lock ...in short, the OEM DVD equipment will not play back anything other than the navigation discs.
Software/firmware upgrade discs for the unit and map discs are available through the dealer.

If you were looking at replacing/upgrading the head unit, you would need to find a replacement which is MOST compatible. Or ditch the MOST system altogether

Hi gerrymanna,

Bored of the S4?

Unfortunately, we have the same access to promotional material as you do...basically whatever is on the internet. As far as I can tell, there hasn't been officially released from Audi Canada regarding the Land of Quattro package for the A6 and usually their website is pretty up to date. The only option that shows up is the Black Effects package?
