The joys of a rear view camera
 
I'm not sure how I'm going to own a car now without so many handy features.
There is the solar roof which keeps the fans running so you can just get in on a boiling hot day and not have to open windows etc first, the integrated Audi Bluetooth and the ability to control my phone using the RNS E whilst it's charging out of sight under the armrest is also very useful but I have to say the most useful feature and one I am genuinely going to miss and is worth paying hundreds of pounds for is this. The rear view cam, just to give you an idea of how much more visibility it gives you, I was backing into a space at work and took a picture to compare what you see out the rear view mirror, compared to the cam. (It automatically switches to the rear view cam when you select reverse) whatever new car I get D3/RS 6 in the next few years I'm going to beg Ian to fit it in that too.

(Need to get the RNS E colour matched to the climate - job for the weekend).

I wouldn't have known that the rear end was of a cow:D

Maybe it's because I'm born in 1990 but I can't work out what you guys are on about. Anyone else with me? :Confused:

jayzee 17th March 2011 03:14 PM

Dunno mate, but the Kosovan thing seems to have stuck :ROFL:

Nope, you youngsters really need to man up and learn to drive, including reverse, without all the electronic aids!

If you camera goes **** up you will be well fecked.

I can reverse a trailer round a bend and into a space with only a foot (<300mm) each side first time. That took practice but means I don't rely on my reversing bleeps.

Long time since I did that though - weans with ponies to drag about! :ROFL:

Stew,

tonupkid 23rd March 2011 08:09 PM

LOL :ROFL: LOL :ROFL:

Yeh man up yer wimps

Singh 23rd March 2011 08:42 PM

Good for you Stew. That's like saying you should learn to live by candlelight encase one day your electrics pack up. :rolleyes:
If I wanted to 'learn how to drive' i'd buy a proper drivers car like an M3 CSL, not an unbalanced four wheel drive automatic large Audi saloon. I brought it for it's toys and wanted to share one of my favourites which I find really useful, that is all. +++

Ooops. Irony update required :rolleyes:

PsYcHe 23rd March 2011 10:30 PM

hey.. I've got candles in the house, in an easy to find location, just in case the power goes out...

Yep, the wisdom of youth :D

It never fails to amuse me how much I've forgotten since I was 18 or so when I really did know it all :ROFL:

Wrong. But it's better to be alive with them than dead before they arrive.
I think
