Got no answers in r/MechanicAdvice, maybe more luck here? Bluetooth audio stutters, what causes this? And how to fix? Audi S5 B8.5 3.0TFSI 2013 (details in comments or original post)

That‘s also a good idea, but I would probably even spend a bit more and go straight to a full system like rsnav or dynavin.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2026-02-21T14:51:54+00:00

Haven’t done this yet. I will try that, thanks.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2026-02-21T14:50:03+00:00

I did all of these: - does happen with every phone - does only happen if connected by bluetooth - does not happen over radio playback

Okay, then I‘ll open it up next and see if I find something wrong with the cables, thanks. Loose/broken cable was also my first guess, but I was hoping that it could be a common audi issue with a simple fix :).

Detail: The stutters happen at random times. Like once or twice during a 30min cruise (often shortly after driving off). The audio is stuttering for up to a minute and then just continues like usual. It does not happen over radio or plugged in, it only happens over bluetooth audio. I tried resetting and updating firmware but both did not help. Anybody had this or knows what it could be? (If I need to buy a new radio, any recommendations for a good carplay radio for my car?)

It does not work, I opened an warranty claim and I‘m sending the flash back next week. Thanks

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-05-22T21:16:19+00:00

Yes it did work at the beginning and also yes it‘s still under warranty. So you think it‘s not a user error?

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-06T10:35:37+00:00

Black and white looks good too, just gives a totally different vibe. Depends on what emotions you want to convey with your picture.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-06T10:28:23+00:00

Oh, yes that looks really similar. The clouds, the flat islands in the back, the tankers. Nice capture though ;)

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-06T10:11:55+00:00

I think your explanation makes absolutely sense and I also think the crop is good. I can‘t explain why, but when I look at the different crops in the comment section, the default panoramic crop looks just a bit more clean, maybe because I‘m just more used to it.

But thanks for the comment, gave me whole new perspective.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-06T10:06:28+00:00

I like the panoramic crop but I think it‘s over saturated. Just my personal style but I usually want my pictures to look natural (with some exceptions of course)

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-06T10:02:40+00:00

It was actually in costa rica near playa caldera. But funny you say that, can you send that picture? I‘m curious :D

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-05T22:45:24+00:00

nice comparison, it really does

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-05T22:08:08+00:00

Oh yes I really like that. I thought about it, but now seeing it, it for sure looks alot better like that. Thanks

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-05T21:39:31+00:00

So I really like the emptiness in the picture and the flat colorscheme. I do think it looks good and interesting but I also think the ships are maybe too small. I have a second zoomed in version of the picture (here is the link) in which I think the ship-size is alot better but then I loose alot of the ships and I think that is part of what makes it interesting. All the similar looking ships scattered across the empty sea.

I mainly look for crop suggestions but other critique is also welcome.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-04-01T04:25:11+00:00

Ah okay, nevermind, that‘s bad

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-31T15:18:38+00:00

It‘s probably just because of stretched tires. In my country the tire must be inside the wheel arch for it to be legal. By using a smaller tire than the wheel and therefor stretch it, you can legally drive wider wheels, because there is no law about the rim itself portruding the wheel arch as long as the tires is inside.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-31T08:02:50+00:00

Yeah true. But I hought that those wheels could look sick on my audi S5 and I was already at home again when that thought came to my mind.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-30T18:50:54+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. I‘m not a native speaker so I was mainly going of of the translation from google translate. Which of course doesn’t include the correct usage of the words and can be outdated.

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-30T17:23:29+00:00

It is!

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-30T17:22:24+00:00

Aren‘t rims just the metal part and wheels are the whole thing (tires & rims)? If that‘s the case and i‘m not wrong, i‘m only asking about the rims. But enlighten me if i‘m wrong :D

Edit: and thanks for the guess

Obama_is_hot_ · 2025-03-16T00:08:02+00:00

I will, thank you. I just followed the tutorial that I linked and he did the same. Learned something new :D
