What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Cuzoe]

With @dvw.r's help got the Porsche and then Bentley map styles going.

Porsche night, I think this looks really good, although it's missing the starry sky of the Audi maps...


Porsche day, very bland and colorless, kind of boring but they POI icons are nice...


And Bentley day, also boring, probably won't even try them at night...


I like the VW style more than both of these. And I like the Audi the most except for the POI icons .

I probably won’t pick these up for a few days, but I like them in the picturesView attachment 279299View attachment 279300View attachment 279301

Still need to figure out some center caps & someday tires (if I ever put my car back together).

Aren't they A4 wheels?
Either get the Audi blanks with VW stickers or get the Touareg VW center caps. I think the 70mm ones work.

Did a brake fluid flush using the Motive power bleeder. Was fine up until I had to disconnect the hose that was full of brake fluid.

Cleaned the shit out of the wheels while they were off.

Motiv forgot the pressure relief valve on that one

Paid it off today. Bought in 11/2020, so I made pretty good time all things considered.

Built a MPI only harness and got a few other products into the test phase.

Staaaaaaaahp I was supposed to go IS38 stage 2 and not do fueling mods and now you gotta go tempting and shit, that's just rude (but seriously please continue development on this platform, it's highly appreciated)

Releasing the pressure wasn't horrible but how the fuck was I supposed to get the remaining brake fluid out of the hose still attached to the master cylinder?

Gave her a much needed wash, and did a bit of maintenance. Replaced the engine air filter (looked fine after 20k miles but figured why not), re-lubed the sunroof rails, and gummi pfleged all the exterior rubber bits.

Not the confessions thread, but feeling a bit rough about all the little damage it has accumulated over the last two years. Hood is rock chipped to hell, front grill is cracked in several places, bumper has taken its share of parallel parkers, pretty bad curb rash on two wheels... and just spent almost two weeks at the dealer getting a rear door water leak fixed and came back with some great new clear coat swirls and scratches all over the driver door sill. It's a city daily driver so I really ought to just get used to it, but man is it demoralizing sometimes.

Will say though, when it's clean and the sun hits right, DIB looks pretty great.

Was looking to buy a DA polisher this week to give her a proper wash and wax over the weekend. But a fuckin' racoon had other plans and decided to use my car to unlive himself.

If you're selling it I'd take it off your hands.

Too bad you aren't closer. I have an extra grill.

 

[carbon_gecko]

Man you had to take a lot more apart than I did for the OEM one. I just removed the side trim by the gas pedal and fed the BCM/fuse/ground cables up above the pedals, left the rest of the console alone.

Doesn't the OEM one run through the MIB?

Is it worth it to ship it?

 

[bobloblawGTI]

It goes to both BCM and MIB; I just removed the trim around the screen/center vents and routed the MIB wires behind the screen and over to the glovebox. Nothing had to come out around the shifter, though.

Okay, I have already noticed the ali* doesn't have the best ...charging intesity(?) It doesn't seem to be close enough with a phone case, a single turn and the phone shift position and charging is stopped. Have you noticed similiar with yours? Also did you get yours from ali* ?

The phone does have to be in the "right" position, but that's no different than practically any other wireless charger. I'll have to dig up the source but from what I remember the OEM charger is only 5W, which is the base Qi standard. That has nothing do with Ali though. And if you're not in the ideal spot you get less than 5W. I don't know if there are multiple coils in the OEM charger.

It's the reason for the magsafe iphone stuff, places the phone in ideal position. Also the reason Apple started to develop (then cancelled) the Airpower pad with coils everywhere so placement wouldn't matter. Tesla released a charging pad that has coils all over so placement doesn't matter.

Tesla charging pad opened up...
