if i was a carjacker i would just bang the driver on the head, most of them are pretty clued up on this sort of locking system so wouldnt go for the passenger side anyway, locking as you drive away is a must of course

Sound like an expert there!  :shocked:  :wink:

In all serious, this is one of the main reasons why I have Tracker on both, and have a Cat 5 one on the RS, so even if they had the keys, the tracker would still be activated immediately.  Sadly, though, the convenience module on Audis is different from Dubs, in that if you set it to autolock, then it will always auto unlock too!  So that is disabled on the RS.  :rolleyes:

Shaun, Stage two now loaded  :evil:

I agree it seems smoother (only a limited drive in rush hour) If I didn't know any better (I don't! ) I'd say the torque spread was wider...........

yeh, did you get it free ?, its took a bit of getting used to as i think you can confuse sudden burts of power as powerfull (like old map did), this just seems to have constant steady boost all over the range, still more testing to go but im happy

Yeh was free. I know what you mean, the first time I tried to boot it I thought it had reverted back to standard, but as you say it needs getting used to! Wheelspinning in third in the dry whilst doing about 40!!  :evil:

Being the only map I've ever had I'd have to say yes Robin. The TC picks it up ok but there's a definate power hike over the first map.

....It's just that I prefer to get the power down with a minimum of wheelspin, especially in the higher gears.

As Shaun said, I can easily get over 36mpg so I know how to use the throttle as and when required  :wink:
