Arrived today...

Pre-FL has Bluetooth audio - or at least mine does. Just works as you would expect, find BT source "Audi mmi XXXX" connect, do the pin thing and it should appear as a source.

Also Over cable should appear almost immediately if you have the Audi cable. If you have a device connected to the cable.

This is all that shows when I go to media source. Am I being really stupid?

[doodlebug]

You need to pair your phone with it first. Go via telephone option as above.

[vestax32]

It would appear I was in fact being stupid! All sorted now!

[RS6chris!]

Im in dynamic full time and just switch between S or D using the gear lever depending on engine temp / road conditions / mood.

You don't need a monthly SIM for connect. If you are unsure just get a £10npay as you go sim to see if you like it. I have a £15 Sim that last up to 3 months with 6gb.

This is set up I use....using paddles too

Can anyone enlighten me to what exactly the Reversible Belt Tensioner is?

it takes up any slack in the seat belt as you are moving away. feels like a slight pull on the belt to ensure it is positioned snug to the chest and lap.

[vestax32]

Thanks for that, was struggling to work it out!

It is a bit of a random description for a setting.
How you finding the car. I still have a huge smile every time I floor mine, even after 13 months. Perfect all round car for every need.

Amazing car, miles ahead of the C6, a massive upgrade. One thing I have noticed though is the back end 'squirms' a bit under full acceleration. I have air. Anyone else noticed this?

[MikeFish]

In a straight line? In the dry?
Mine doesn't. I have drc and dunlops. Tjere is a thread about it twitching when pulling onto the wrong side of the road for overtaking but not in a straight line.

The test car I had on air.... "wanted to catch the front wheels.... with the back ones"

Read the forum this is well documented..... I quite liked it - it was fun

I have had this a bit with my B8 RS4. I actually love it - feels alive.

No not in a straight line, but in the dry. When say pulling off a roundabout and accelerating very hard it feels like it's squirming a bit, never had that feeling in the c6. I presume because of air instead of DRC. Will expire a bit more over the coming days!

I've noted a few people mention 'oversteer' in their cars so interested to explore this when i get my car next month.

All i'd say is that i have watched the likes of 5th Gear doing a track review and the only time the RS6 will vaguely oversteer is when lifting off at large speeds. There was certainly no power-on oversteer and, let's face it, Audi are hardly recognised for producing playful cars.

So my hunch it is more of a feeling (body roll) than actual oversteer.

There is a thread about this, just had a quick look but couldn't find it to post a link.

I'm on air with the conti's. In a straight line and overtaking I've not experienced the back end wanting to step out. when pushing it though through some twisty bits it definitely wants to step out. I have the car set to dynamic all of the time so I cant really comment on what it is like in comfort carrying out the same driving style, and DRC will be a whole different game.

I think in the last thread myself and eddie commented on different styles of driving maybe having an input. I've come from a few years of driving a 3 door sierra cosworth which had to be treated very differently with its limited slip diff. stamp on the power even in a straight line and your through a hedge. (or a post see signature). the power had to be fed in and feathered to keep control.

I know with the RS6 with all of the traction control systems and four wheel drive there is the confidence to simply stamp on the power when overtaking or exiting a corner, the systems try there best to eliminate any wheel slip and the huge torque will be constantly pushing them and eventually something has to give.

In short I think my brain is still programmed to rear wheel drive limited slip diff mode and may be the reason I'm not experiencing the kicking out sensation when overtaking. I'm not a slow driver nor by any means more capable than anyone else on the forum, I think its just a case of being pre programmed to feed in the power.
