No I meant by having covers for them :grin:

Ah really?! I think they would look good though dude, but I like both styles so can't really choose between the two lol

Ah right.  Thought they might be useful for lugging them around and giving the wheels a bit of protection during storage

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I realise I'm a bit of an OEM freak so fitting reps kind of goes against my ethos  :undecided:

interesting how each bag is for a specific corner, why is that?

No idea in all honesty.  My first thought was about the wheels being balanced for front and back but then I realised that it shouldn't make a difference to what corner they go back on the car as they should all be balanced perfectly

The idea is when you remove you wheels to fit the winters or other wheels in their place you can refit them to the corner they were removed from so you have no problems with balancing etc.  :smiley:

Ah ok but then I thought the same as Ryso??? it sholdn't matter should it?  A balanced wheel is a balanced wheel regardles?

Maybe helps if you have directional tyres fitted or if the tyres are slightly worn you know which corner they came from to put them back in the right place?.... hmmmm......

I guess the idea is that you keep the wheels in the same place, but your right unless they have been balanced on the car it should not matter.

New fang-dangled phone + Audi Bluetooth = FAIL

Won't even find the Audi kit let alone connect to it  :sad:

Need to do a bit more investigation but its looking like its a lack of RSAP support in Android based phones; unless someone knows different  :undecided:

I read somewhere that this can happen when you change phones.  My Mazda can store up to 7 devices at a time but still has a wobbly now and again... I had the same when I got a new phone after the car was used to the old one for 6 months.   Remove previous pairing attempts from your phone then reset the car, TEL + SETUP -> Factory Default or something like that, then try again?... can't be much help as I don't have much experience with android, or Audi for that matter.
