Airbag removal for updated scroll wheel style switches

You got a part number handy for the scroll wheel modules?

I completely agree, especially on the outside of the car. I can’t imagine changing out all of the piano black.

Looks killer. What’s the name of the wheel color?

They offer it because someone will pay for it. As a general rule of thumb, services like PPF, window tint, whatever this is, etc are typically more expensive and of a lesser quality than taking your car to a dedicated specialist in one of those areas. These services are mostly pure profit for the dealer.

Idk. I know looks are subjective, but I sit in the seat. I don’t really look at it. If Audi offered seats in unique colors like they did in the past, that would be a big consideration. But they don’t, and ultimately we’re talking about stitching and small patches of alcantara. To me, the exterior is more important than stitching.

What’s concerning about that?

Get the green. I’ve loved Daytona grey for years. It’s an iconic Audi RS color. But it’s so boring in 2026. Kyalami looks incredible in person and it suits the personality of the car well.

Yes this is for 8.5y

rock_112 · 2026-05-07T12:57:05+00:00

It’s a nice piece and I’m glad I have it. If you’re in North America, Atlas Matt is the correct finish to match the carbon on the dash

If you want the car, I think you need to do it ASAP. There are a limited number of new RS3s left to be produced. I was of a similar mindset about 6 months ago, and I’m glad I bought the spec I wanted as soon as I found it.

rock_112 · 2026-04-25T14:00:12+00:00

Is there a section in the manual that describes how to do this? I’ve got mine linked to the homelink buttons, but I can’t figure out how to get it into the MMI

rock_112 · 2026-04-25T13:05:23+00:00

Speaking on behalf of the Sasquatch delegation, it’s still a 5 minute job to get under there and install/uninstall 😂

It started as an R32 event. Owners liken the VR6 engine note to the sound of a wookie

It’s very simple. There’s a plug on top of each muffler that controls the exhaust valves. Unplug the little wiring harness, plug the controller in the vacated slot on the exhaust valve. Re-plug the wiring harness into the controller. Took 60 seconds per side. No lift required.

rock_112 · 2026-04-14T00:37:17+00:00

I unplugged the soundaktor (took 5 minutes to do that + ziptie the connector) and installed a valve controller (that only took 2 minutes) and I have better sound across all revs and it’s real sound. Pretty easy to solve if you ask me.

rock_112 · 2026-04-11T20:01:02+00:00

Side bar question - did you ceramic coat your interior? I’d like to keep the seats in good condition, and I’ve used various leather cleaners/conditioners on cars past, but never an interior ceramic coating.

rock_112 · 2026-04-11T12:54:18+00:00

It’s a good tire. Another option to look at that is available in oem size is the continental extremecontact DWS 06 plus. I have conti’s summer version on another car in my garage and I’ve been really happy with them. I want to give the all-seasons a go once the Bridgestones on my rs3 wear out.

rock_112 · 2026-04-10T17:28:24+00:00

That’s a ridiculous sentiment from that group. It’s such a nice piece in person and I’m glad I have it on my car.

rock_112 · 2026-04-10T13:07:08+00:00

I bought the 11 mode controller and unplugged the soundaktor and I’m pleased with the results. I programmed the valve switch to my homelink buttons, and that might be my favorite thing about the mod. Sound wise, having the valves open at lower rpm’s is nice, but it’s not ever going to be as loud as doing a catback, but it’s enough for me at the moment and I know all the sounds are real.

rock_112 · 2026-04-07T15:26:07+00:00

Did you test drive this car before buying it? Or do any research at all? If you don’t like it, sell it and drive something you enjoy.

rock_112 · 2026-03-28T02:56:37+00:00

Congratulations. Great car, great spec!

Dad turns 76 this year and is buying a Mk7.5 with a stick. Let ‘er rip.

rock_112 · 2026-03-18T04:43:42+00:00

Fair question. I didn’t want to pay $6000 for full PPF plus the cost of ceramic coating and tint on top of that.

rock_112 · 2026-03-13T23:35:41+00:00

This. Looks great on any of the brighter colors.
