Hi, everybody, I had a mobile phone holder (Kenu Airframe) in my car so far which was clipped into the air outlet nozzle. This was a very inconspicuous and well-functioning solution. Since it is now a bit more complicated with the mobile phone holders in the thickness, I have considered whether it is possible to prevent the automatic blinding of the left air outlet nozzle without taking action with a side cutter? Can you encode this if necessary? So I could continue using the airframe and would not have to do without the aperture globally. If someone asks: iPhone 7 is the phone which should find a place somewhere.

Hello, I have used the help or search function but found nothing useful. My problem is that Navi reports “Navigation not available at the moment”. As if the Navi-DVD was not readable or not inserted. I tried to remove the DVD, but the player doesn’t jump out the DVD anymore!!! Does anyone know this problem? How do I get out the DVD? Is there perhaps some kind of music lock? Does a reset at the ZAB help perhaps? Would be nice if one or the other had a little advice for me. Allen still a nice day. Greet Markus

Don’t get away from the Phaeton. Even from the Phaeton Forum, I’ve fallen back in this respect. Bad? Yesterday I bought a long 4-seater, GP2. EZ 01/2009, 71,000 km, V6 TDI colour Tarantellablack, leather Tobacco-Anthracite individual What doesn’t he have? Fridge, Alcantara package, hat rack in leather, shift flaps, trailer coupling. My GP0, EZ 03/2007, was a faithful and absolutely reliable companion. No problems and with the software tuning on 270 hp and 525 Nm running smoothly. Give it with 87,000 km in payment. I already have such a bit of bammel about the new used ones. From the equipment he surpasses my previous for lengths, but also in length! Above all, however, the question whether the new one will be so problem-free later on, push me around. Well, knock on the wood at the new one. Has it abundantly!

Hello, I would like to change the glow plugs soon and during the research I noticed that according to the repair guide there are both ceramic and metal glow pin plugs. Furthermore, I read in the Audi Forum that when switching from ceramic to metal an update is necessary for the ECU. How to recognize whether metal or Keramit is installed I know from the guide, but have not yet found the time to look. I would like to know if it is known in which period ceramic and metal were installed and whether a software update would be necessary in the case of the thick in the case of the switchover?

My last thread has led me to the idea that we can create a list of all mobile phones that work with the Phaeton unreservedly. In many cases it might be advisable to use an older mobile phone as a “fixed installation” or to continue to use it. It is also important that the mobile phone RSAP can. Only this makes sense to use the external GSM unit of the Phaeton. Mobile phones, which work in pure hands-free mode, should be mentioned only for the sake of interest. However, a meaningful use of these devices is not possible, since then the device is used as a normal mobile phone in the interior. Perhaps also the mention of the network would be interesting. I start with: My best experience with GP 2 and 3 with the Nokia 6300 is done. However, the device is mainly used in the D1 network. But D2 also worked perfectly. My experiences with o2 are divided. Eplus has completely paid off on me. Currently as “fixed installation” I use a Nokia E52, that all my ideas – still- are fulfilled. Ipone 3 and 4 can only operate as a permanent mode.

Hello, have ordered today 4 door locks as my wavy become. Unfortunately nobody could tell me there if I needed the screws in 5x8mm or 5x10mm. Does one of you know that??? LG Fabian

Moin, I had an inspection for my diva yesterday, it’s all good. When I left, my car reported that my key battery was weak. It wasn’t before the inspection. I have now used a new battery (although I had no problems with the old one with distance etc.) and still have the message. I can easily open/do everything with the key and otherwise everything works. What could it be? An antenna broken? Where does it sit? If it was broken, the car wouldn’t start or? Because the key he recognizes yes. Or is it just a flag that I have to delete somewhere? Did someone have a tip here, something similar? Thank you!

Yesterday the GP1.5 was given a short exit. In the stand and during a leisurely journey until almost 2000 U no unusual. If you give gas then the really shrill, high sound frequency whistles. Thought already there slipped a wedge belt or would be a camp firmly over which a belt then slips. Or turbo ? I have no experience at all. Can one of you professionals do something with it? Would I be happy if I got your support. Greeting, Eridanus

When you turn on the SH via the handheld transmitter, the Green LED lights up, but it doesn’t start. Manuel on the radio, you can’t start it either. Is there a trick to get them to work again?

Hello, I have a small problem: My headlight cleaning system (on both sides) no longer works. At first I thought of “frozen” (was quite cold and somehow the vehicle was also so, that the parking beepers didn’t go in front for 2 days, because iced up). Meanwhile, however, we have the 3rd day in a row with plus temperatures (and from the outside I don’t see any ice or anything). I wanted to look for the fuses, but I didn’t find anything in the description that could fit here. Does anyone know which fuse that would be or what it might be? Greetings Johannes
