AudiA6.jpg Ok so its very sad, but my new A6 is in the Audi compound awaiting shipment to the local dealer, meaning that I should get delivery on or around the 28th July.

Not quite happy with all the toys I already have in it, Sextons Car Audio will hardwire my Road Angel and my PocketPC GPS system into the new A6, meaning it will all be nicely wired in and no dangling cables.New-Ra-Fixed I’m actually quite impressed so far with the new Road Angel. Registration (which is needed to update the database) was quick, and was activated in a few hours, even though the site says one working day. I took it for a spin and it successfully spotted all the black spots and more importantly the cameras around here.. Obviously the real proof will be the trip up to Knutsford tomorrow, since I know that trip has a mix of cameras both very visible and not so visible.

I had to adjust the volume of the alerts, the voice is slightly quiet, but the warning blips are quite ear piercing at the higher volumes!! Currently set to 40%, I think it could go down to 20% to be kinder on the ears.

The only real struggle I’m still having is getting the Phatbox into the new A6, as yet its not compatible with the new all digital audio of the A6’s and the MMI system. If I can get that in there I may never need to get out of my car!!
