yea, I meant the B6/7 guys.
as for products I want, since I have an RS4 I’ll make a list
LOL… Yeah, I used to drive it a lot for work trips (to NJ, Philly and NC). I don’t do those runs anymore, but I still try to get on the road as much as possibly.
I have done advanced before, but I cannot remember if it was on my car. I want to say yes, but I logged so many cars I cannot remember (I’m getting old…)
I want a shorter throw shifter. I have the JHM SS on the shortest setting but I still wish it was a little shorter.
Saki:
I’ve been able to do advanced several times on the 05.5 B7, so I would assume it’s possible on the B6 with the right cable. I usually still just do normal measuring blocks though as I usually want RPM or other things and can do “Turbo” on normal measuring blocks (does that really speed up the readings?). But the Advanced is nice if you want a couple random blocks or just one specific and can’t remember which measuring block group it would be under.
B6JoeS4:
I also agree, but am shocked that adding the SS JHM knob made if feel like the throws are shorter. I don’t know if it’s just because of the extra weight, or the dimensions of the knob (I think the circumference is close to stock right?). But you might really want to think about picking one up while they’re on sale. It really was a nice finishing touch to the trio pkg.
Were us tge stock saftey pressure awitsh located cause I need and oil press. Gauge real bad
oil filter housing, on the driver’s side… I’ll pull up a pic
awsome cause i need to install a guage to moniter the oil press. thank you
ok so i got the gauge mounted and the wiring fed just need to know if the press. sender from autometer will fit in the saftey switch location. i am about to start removing stuff to get at it.
^I’m actually working on the same thing. The autometer sender is huge which is the issue i’m hoping I don’t run into. Might just have to get a right angle adapter. Sucks finding things in 10mm.
How are you installing the 1/4" threads into the 10mm stock opening?
Ok so my first attempt was a fail cause my sensor has a single wire. Did a two into one with the wire and well it doesnt work . So now my neighbor has a elbow fitting from his tt that we will try. Its from 42dd and we will install that to the housing and then add a line to it to make installing the autometer sensor a breeze. Then run a 5volt constant to the original single wire. So no light and a working gauge.
Take a pic of the whole setup when you’re done. Did you confirm that the autometer won’t fit?
^Would you two mind starting a thread in the S4 section? This could be very helpful for a lot of people, but I doubt many will find it in here.
yes it just a hair to long. And looks to bee more headace then I want right now
Ok once I get to mylaptop I will.
Joe if you get that 42dd adapter the grab a elbow ana few extenders and tada it works. If you grab a female tee you can install the stock press sensor in also.
I saw this thread on AZ about a rather cool little module that expands the functionality of the DIS: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/477811-The-VFIZ-computer-on-Audi-B6-B7
The AZ mods shut it down so they can fleece him for money. But the product looks pretty cool as demonstrated in the guy’s video: http://youtu.be/-jSwfiJEigA
Anyway, I have no idea who this guy is but I sent him a PM to come on over here and tell us more about it… unless anyone else has seen it before?
that’s cool
looks like an A3 to me
Holy shit, that’s awesome. B6/7 can finally get oil temp in DIS and a ton more of other things!
It is $500 bucks though, but it’s all plug and play so that’s a very clean setup compared to most of that nature.

It is 500$ + shipping 30$,
From the guy who makes them:
There are cables to connecting to tacho and additional USB cable for future firmware upgrade,
VFIZ fits behind console under tacho, it connected plug&play between tachometer and factory car cabling, no cables modify is needed,
It is upgradable via USB cable, ( Currenty I’m working on in car diagnostic, e.g. DTC reading (and clearing))
VFIZ has many additinal featers, e.g. beeping and displaying alarms on FIS when some parametres exceeds limits - which you configure of coz (e.g. oiltemp, coolant temp, boost etc…)
Also:
The VFIZ will not interfere with FISCON, even if would happen some issue in future
it can be easy and fast fixed by firmware upgrade which is self written and can be easly modified.
The VFIZ is controlled by MFSW and can be enabled or disabled at any time,
you will not lose RDS information from radio and navigation tips.
I have been waiting for these guys to release the B7 version: http://www.p3cars.com but they have been saying they are releasing something for over a year with nothing. Not only that, but I like the idea of having integration with the MFD or DIS instead of having something stuffed in a vent that doesn’t belong there.
This thing has a lot of bells and whistles for 500 bucks. And considering it is MPC with software updates, there’s a lot more than can be done with it. I’m hoping that the software is open source as I know a tiny bit about software myself and would love to be able to customize it.
I’m on it and will post a review. There’s a 3 week lead time so it will be a little bit.
