What did you do to your mk7 today?

[messrock]

Continuing to setup the office. I have an old Samsung a7 Lite that I've decided will do full time in R from now on. Thanks to this forum for helping me find the AO Macchina dongle and finding resources for Simos Tools. Besides that, Highway Radar/Waze, TrackAddict, and OBDeleven what Android apps do you regularly use with your Mk7?

What mount is this? I need something for my A7. Sick of it flapping around in the door pocket or cup holders when logging.

Thanks for that! I've never heard of it. I'll have to share this, not sure if its to your musical taste. Described as "Downtempo and chillout electronica" (And one of my favorite stations for more than a decade) https://somafm.com/groovesalad/

I'll add Frisky to that list, been listening since it was just a winamp link. App is a little wierd in Android Auto tho.

Ugreen Magsafe adjustable vent mount. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGLRYNK1 To keep the tablet secure I had to put one magnet ring under the TPU case and one over it. But it hasn't moved since.

Put on winter tires/wheels, now it probably won't snow until January. Which would be fine by me!

BBS winters ?! very nice sir.

Thanks, they are one of the few 17" wheels that have good brake clearance. Originally bought them to clear the 17z calipers on my old A3 without running spacers. They also easily clear the Macans on the GTI.

I had BBS's on mine back when I first got the Macan calipers. Those cleared well too with about a fine-tip sharpie markers width of clearance.

God damn, now there's a website I haven't thought of in about 20 years. I used to listen to it all the time, glad to hear it's still around.

Put the steel oil pan on the Mk7 & steps on the Duramax.

Kinda nice to just let the sealant cure 100% then some now that I don’t need the GTI back on the road ASAP.

New truck getting better mileage than the old one?

Only have about 250 miles on it, but it should get about twice the fuel mileage.

470hp and 970tq diesel with a 10 speed transmission, it just kinda putters along with zero effort.

 

[MonkeyMD]

So when will you be adding a 10" stacks

Hmmmm
Eventually........ that's a fair bit of $ in the pocket

It was never really a MPG race between the old and new truck, but rather between a new gas and new diesel.

Me driving the ‘96 with my newborn is the equivalent of my dad driving a ‘62 when I was a baby. Sure, it’s cool to drive a classic, but definitely not practical or anything.
