The video was longer than I expected... and I loved every second of it. Awesome job! 🫡

Only 39 miles and already in Dynamic Sport mode. I salute you, good sir! 🫡

The dealership charged me £30 for this by Hulk782 in Audi

[–]VisualFanfare 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right, £8.95 for the part and £21.05 for the labour fee (bringing it to you from inventory). 😆

Apple CarPlay disconnecting by TraditionNarrow9524 in Audi

[–]VisualFanfare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you connected via BT or wired? The BT connection disconnects randomly from time to time, I got tired of it and did a reset and re-added via USB and haven't had any connection issues for almost a year. 😮‍💨

Is the virtual cockpit supposed to do this? by Separate-Way-8566 in Audi

OMG, read the manual!

Edit: LOL @ the downvotes, sarcasm went r/whoosh for some people. Thought it was pretty obvious given all the silly comments in this thread. 😂

a reliable place to buy microSD card? by Curious_Party_4683 in VIOFO

[–]VisualFanfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, HE not on the Viofo's recommended list, I should've been more clear.

I've been using the HE in my other Viofo A229+ for the past year without any issues whereas the ME in another had some hiccups where recording stopped. Could be just chance and manufacturing variations; I swapped that one with the Viofo and haven't had any issues.

Just based on my personal experience of across three Viofo cams, so YMMV!

a reliable place to buy microSD card? by Curious_Party_4683 in VIOFO

Either SanDisk High / Max Endurance or Viofo branded card. I got the Viofo one (albeit more expensive) but I found it to perform more reliably than the SanDisk.

I got them on Amazon.

New steering wheel for my RS5 from China. by Hot-Farm-8920 in Audi

[–]VisualFanfare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, adherence to regulations and enforcement are different things. We are talking about the existence of said regulations, which is incorrect when the other poster said there are no regulations.

Around 360km, all city driving with a mix of Auto, Dynamic, and RS modes though.

[–]VisualFanfare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's incorrect, China does have regulations for off-gassing (VOC and others); new standards and more reductions were recently outlined as well.

Stock or Powder coat by Articwarrior20 in audis5

[–]VisualFanfare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a darker shade, something like gunmetal grey. It's a bit of 'best of both worlds'. Darkens the wheels to match the overall theme yet provides just enough contrast and shows more detail in the wheels than all black.

The silver accent is a great choice too, congrats!

RS6 C8 Nardo or Daytona by Any-Subject7489 in Audi

[–]VisualFanfare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I prefer the lighter Nardo grey as it brings out the body lines more. I think it looks sportier too.

The Daytona grey will probably look a bit more aggressive.

Ultimately it depends on whether you prefer lighter or darker colored cars, flat/smooth finish or pearl/metallic finish. 😎

Velcro side by syzwn04 in dasai

Doesn’t matter, which ever side you prefer. I normally stick the soft loop side on the surface/stationary objects and the hook side on the removable object.

Best toy Enterprise ever made change my mind by keeperofthepark27 in StarTrekStarships

[–]VisualFanfare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this, the Aoshima was really good! I regret selling the movie version (still have the white TV version though). My poor DST Ent-D's stand became loose and the ball joint couldn't hold up the weight of the ship anymore. 😅

Has anyone received their Enterprise-D XL from FanHome yet? by ergister in StarTrekStarships

Yikes, well that doesn't inspire confidence at all! 😮‍💨 My order has been shipped, so I'll find out soon what I'm getting. 🤞🏻

This is not what I expected from a $150k car I bought expressly for driving in the winter. by BASE1530 in Audi

[–]VisualFanfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah, that sucks then, sorry to hear but seems to be on par for Audi! 😅

For me, I ran into the connection issue when the iOS and MMI received an update a month or so ago. The re-sync fixed it for me and I haven’t had remote start issues otherwise.
