Anyone know whether we get auto-fold side mirrors?

Can't seem to find any information to think that we do

Would be a nice little extra to have.

HID systems are far more rigid in design than halogen, and therefore AFAIK there is no performance variation to the bulb, other than its lumen colour temperature. Standard 4300K bulbs provide the highest brightness. The higher the colour temperature, the bluer the light will be, and the lower will be its effective brightness.

4300k is the optimum colour temp for us with human being eyes.

Some people however may have come from outer space or have mutated and hence require 6000k or even 10000k purple colour spectrum to see better at night

Nope, we don't get this useful feature. If it's important to you, buy the Audi S3 and collect all the other features which we miss out on.

Fold in mirrors

Great find Avdo. We can always rely on you to keep us updated on relevant topics posted on other forums. This saves a lot of time and effort, and avoids going over old ground.

Are the mirrors designed to be at least manually folded? If so, this might be sufficient for some.

Does anyone have or know where to find the info on what size and capacity SD card is taken by the R and also what media types it can play?

They do manually fold, at least on my 110TDI.

Pictures should help you know how to angle turn it...good luck!

Thank you Eaglehawk. Problem solved or half solved, depending on your personal requirements.

Anywhere up to 128gb sd card, the tech at North Star vw in brissy said it can read up to max of that and the media player can read up to 4 folders deep so
Artist>album>folder>folder

He said to put the music into iTunes and then drag from the actual iTunes folder withing the application settings folder and all artwork and album order stays the same

Worked fine for me so far and can add new music at anytime which is handy.
