In this video, I wanted to share a few tips and tricks that I have found after owning this car for just over 12 months now. There was plenty of these that I didn't know when I first bought the car and after realizing how they work it has made a big difference to the general ease of use with the RS3. As time goes on the Audi RS3 is becoming a little more affordable and I wanted to help new owners and even current owners discover a few new things about their cars that they may not already know. I have pulled together a video showcasing a few tips that I think might be useful.

The the climate control, you don't have to hold both. Just hold in the auto button and it will sync

thanks for letting me know, should have checked on that one.

@@thisisrxm no worries. Saves getting a hand cramp :) For the passenger side mirror as well, it does auto dipping. Put the mirror into the passenger side, and adjust it in R, then move to D and adjust to where you want to. And leave it selected as the passenger side. It will then auto dip when in reverse and revert back automatically when taken out of reverse. Instead of having to toggle it

haha makes sense that Audi would have designed it better than doing a giant hand stretch to hold both buttons. thank you for the clarity around the dipping mirror too. I have pinned so hopefully people see this after watching and correct my two mistakes. thanks very much for sharing. I'll look to correct these in another video perhaps.

A tip to add to 01 - deactivate keyless entry by locking the car with the remote key then straight after touch the lock sensor on the door handle. Next time you unlock it you'll have to unlock it with the remote to get in. This prevents thieves being able get in your car with a key signal relay device.

Sounds good for when you're washing the car as well. When the sensors get wet and you have the key on your pocket, the car tends to keep locking and unlocking.

Subbed. Very nice A3 btw. I just purchased one myself from Melbourne. Mine is a 2017 model. And I am struggling to find the android auto. I've been told it definitely has it. But so far I can't connect to the Audi smartphone option in the MMI

@thisisrxm Жыл бұрын

check out the instruction books that would have come with the car. there is a whole section on how to use the Audi MMI inside the booklets. I would say that you will find your answer there. Hope you get to figure it out.

How do you make both side mirrors tilt down when you put the car in reverse? Quite often I want to reverse between two vehicles and need both mirrors tilted. My old Toyota would tilt both side mirrors straight away as soon as the car was put in reverse. I'm very disappointed my more expensive and modern car only tilts the passenger side mirror when I click a button in reverse which I then have to click back. It seems like I've taken a backyards step in technology.

Just bought my rs3 and i don’t have the electric folding mirrors option. Is that an optional extra? And also, do rs3’s have cruise control lol?

@thisisrxm 3 жыл бұрын

i believe that both cruise control and also folding mirrors are part of an option that needed to be selected when first buying the car new from the factory mate

@engageit Жыл бұрын

You can turn off the folding mirrors when you get out. Turn the car off, open the door, turn the mirror control switch to the mirror folding position, and they wont fold when you lock it. If you want to take pictures, for example. You wouldn't want to do this every time in the winter, better to do as you say and turn it off in MMI. You can sync climate control by just holding in the auto button for 2-3 seconds, you don't need the other button You can leave sync mode simply by adjusting the passenger temperature knob. It will adjust the passenger temp away from the drivers temp and break the link. Then hold in Auto for 3 seconds to return.

You can also freely adjust the mirror dip position while it's in dip mode and it'll remember the dip position.
