  1. Greetings, I appreciate your prompt reply. I believe your statement is accurate, as I have conducted some research and have come across reports from others stating that the subwoofer becomes much louder when the radio volume is down and gradually decreases when the volume is increased. I presume this phenomenon occurs due to a regulated connection from the original subwoofer wire. If this is really the situation, can we be absolutely certain which signal is a whole range signal by using the wires on the B&O amplifier located in the trunk (assuming I have navigation)? If the front door woofers are the ones in question, can I just connect directly to them by tapping?
  2. I have received advice from others who have performed this modification on the B8.5 Audi, suggesting that I connect the cables from the factory subwoofer directly to the amplifier using the High setting. However, I would appreciate some clarification on this matter.
  3. Greetings everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Thumbs up! I am seeking knowledge and assistance, and I am certain that there are those here who can provide it. Our model b8.5 is equipped with the B&O sound system, which delivers excellent audio quality. However, it is worth noting that the bass performance is not as strong as some may want. I have a few inquiries about the upgrading of my subwoofer and the amplifier that drives it. I have acquired a high-quality RD500/1 amplifier, which I expect to function flawlessly by using the current sub wires and connecting a pair of RCA leads to them. I have some inquiries: 1. The wiring in my sub contains blue and yellow stripes, as well as white and yellow stripes. Do we have knowledge of the polarity, distinguishing between the positive and negative? 2. This amplifier is compatible with both high level and low level input signals. Do we have information on whether we should use the high or low output from the audio sub amplifier cables that power the original subwoofer? Can this be verified with a metre to ensure accuracy? The amplifier has a low range of 200 millivolts to 2 volts and a high range of 800 millivolts to 8 volts, among other specifications. Assistance from anyone who have experience in this matter would be much appreciated.
  4. It seems to need a significant amount of disassembly, which may be best done over the winter.
  5. I have conducted a thorough search for a hedgehog resistor, but unfortunately, I have been unable to locate one. It seems that locating a corroded connection will prove to be a challenging and unpleasant task.
  6. Apologies for the confusion. I was referring to the interior fan, not the engine fan.
  7. Upon returning to my mini, I saw that the fan's speed has decreased. However, there are instances when it operates at full speed intermittently. I had heard of the hedgehog resistor, but I cannot see one on my device. Aside from the extensive labour involved in removing the fan housing, is it just a matter of accepting and tolerating the situation?
  8. Engaging in the task of changing your own oil allows you a complete understanding and appreciation of the process. Approximately 70 bolts are required to remove both trays.
  9. Negative, the absence of such a thing is evident. In the case of newer autos, the recommended position is entirely closed.
  10. The vehicle has a spacious alloy heat shield, which includes an access hole specifically designed for the drain plug. The drain plug is completely naked, without any "pan".
  11. I am unfamiliar with the term "oil pan cover" since I do not possess knowledge about an oil pan.There is an aerodynamic tray located over an aluminium engine heat shield. What is eluding my understanding?
  12. During the time when I had my C207, I found that my local Mercedes dealer offered more affordable prices compared to the specialised Mercedes service provider.
  13. It is advisable to apply a generous amount of spray oil onto the cutting tool and thereafter remove and clean each turn or two. This practice helps prevent the accumulation of shavings on the tool, ensuring that they can be easily retrieved and do not impede the functionality of the cutter.
  14. Congratulations on a job well done. You have acquired an excellent specimen that is owned by a genuine AMG fan.
  15. It should not be very challenging. Insurance company loss adjusters are often able to determine this information within a short span of approximately 2 minutes using the appropriate instrument. You may also consider consulting my friend who has an M5 for more confirmation.He was pardoned since the incident occurred before to his purchase and he was ignorant of it.
  16. Have you inquired with Ghost for recommended installers in your vicinity? I agree with CrawlerTagz Without a visible deterrent, potential opportunists may attempt to vandalise the automobile.
  17. Hello, have you found a solution? I now own the same.

  19. His statement. Several discussions and articles about this issue may be found online. https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/08/08/bmw-8-series-g77-2025/
  20. I have used a CTEK charger in conjunction with the R8 for a duration of 5 years, and it has shown to be really satisfactory. The reason I chose the Multi US 7002 model was due to its extra functions, including the deep reconditioning mode, "supply" mode for battery changing, and AGM mode. It is evident that many automobile manufacturers effectively rebrand CTEK chargers, which are considered one of the top products in the industry. Regarding the timing of its use, I have consistently employed it throughout the winter season when the vehicle is stationary for a duration of around 4 to 5 months, often spanning from December to April. During this current driving season, I have been using a trickle charger to keep my car's battery charged between trips, especially since the battery is now more than 5 years old. In recent driving seasons, I had refrained from charging the vehicle as long as it was being driven at least once every few weeks. Whenever I use the vehicle, I usually drive it for a duration of 1.5 to 3 hours, which allows enough time to recharge the battery as well. The CTEK maintainers can be continuously linked for many months without interruption. This is a distinct advantage of maintainers compared to regular battery charges. The device will regulate the charging rate based on the battery's requirements, ensuring it maintains an appropriate level of charge. However, as previously said, a well-functioning and recently manufactured battery should be able to remain in good condition for a period of many weeks, or perhaps a few months, without being used. The R8 will initiate the shutdown of systems after extended periods of inactivity in order to save battery life. For reference, during the first winter I had the R8, I abstained from using a charger for a period of around 3 to 4 months, and encountered no issues (although it is worth noting that the battery was new at the time). One last observation I would like to make is that, as seen in the picture below, it is possible to carefully manoeuvre the wires out from underneath the vehicle's bonnet in close proximity to the light source. I have observed that there is sufficient flexibility in the wires, enabling them to move unrestrictedly, but yet allowing for complete closure of the hood. Lower it with caution, ensuring that you may delicately tug on the wires and verify their ability to move in and out as well as from side to side. If the hood is left slightly open (rather than completely closed), it may allow unwanted visitors (such as vermin) to enter. Therefore, it is advisable to fully shut the hood while storing the automobile for an extended length of time.
  21. There may be sufficient power to illuminate a few lights, but maybe insufficient to enable the car's engine to start. whether you own breakdown protection, the service provider has the capability to dispatch a technician who may connect a jumper pack to the car in order to determine whether it starts. This procedure will help ascertain if the issue is with the battery or not. Are the brake lights functional?
  22. That is really beautiful... I adore it..... Please visit the website https://www.sportingbears.co.uk/index.php. This would be an extraordinary Dream Ride... Individuals, myself included, would readily provide a sum of £90 in exchange for a ride in such...
  23. The appearance is identical to the one I examined for my M4, displaying two potential places. I cannot recall the exact method I used to determine the correct site, but I am certain that inputting my vehicle identification number (VIN) was crucial in achieving more specificity.
