Yeah security code no good.

Single beep when lock
double beep when unlock sound pretty cool
DRL up from 26% to 50%

Still plenty you can do but, need to find the hidden menu though!!

Getting close to going for some H&R springs. Anyone know the rough fitting cost and anywhere recommended around Berkshire/ Hants / Oxford area?
Presume Audi will be difficult about any warranty claim involving suspension if I do this!

Well yeah, if you get a damper leak then they are going to tell you where to go! I'd only be concerned of that happening with a car on 40k miles.

The price of vanity! I will be joining you as soon as mine arrives; literally taking it to be lowered on the day it's delivered.

I've read in various launch descriptions that the PE sits 20mm lower than the RS6 (on air).

Is that a mistake ? (the RS6 sits 20mm lower than the A6)

If not, does DRC also sit 20mm lower ?

I have air on my Fl RS6. When the suspension is set to dynamic it sit noticeably lower than when in comfort. the wheels fill the arches nicely but not to low. Could do with spacers though.

Ha, martay I did mention somewhere that I was having it done. I've only got Luke's pictures so far. My car is back home but I won't see it until its dark. The wife's car is in there now for the same treatment.

Back looks a little high but it just came off the ramp. If it doesn't settle then the amps and subs should lower it a bit.

It popped up on my fb, shared from his instagram and knew whose PE it'd be. Looks very nice... might have to give in and drop the whole "leave it stock" plan.
