Hey there - I purchased an A3 2 months ago - 2.0/white/black/premium/DSG. Love the car, and have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a DIY method of getting a signal from a 3rd party device (nav, phone) into the standard radio without going through the FM route? I've tried a couple of FM adapters, they drove me nuts with having to change frequency. What I want is to listen to podcasts from Blackberry 8800. I don't want to buy an iPod, have had those in the past and their GUIs don't work like my brain does... even though I am a big Mac guy. Otherwise I would have gone with the DICE kit.

2. Is it me or this car rolls quite a bit too much while cornering? I am not talking about racing, just normal every day high way entrance/exit type of situation. What's an easy mod to reduce this behavior? This car is a lease, so I don't want to do something radical or expensive. I've had too GTIs in the past, a VR6 and a 1.8t and they didn't exhibit this as much.

Thanks!

since you have the premium package, i think you have the standard suspension, the sport suspension is a bit more stiff, just spend $250 on a rear sway bar and be happy with it, and witha lease, just put the stock ones on once you're ready to give it up.

 

You could always upgrade the suspension components and uninstall them when you're ready to turn-in the car. If you get another A3, you might even be able to reinstall into the next one. Sorry you'll have to do all that installing and uninstalling to satisfy lease stuff.

 

shoulda just bought the A3 instead of leasing it
