Hello Edd,
Apologies as I forgot to respond to your post Sir. Yes these really are my favourite wheels now. I’ve enjoyed the economy that the Pepperpot provide but have wanted these on my fleet since Duncan @DuncanA2 first showed us he’s A2 with them on a few years ago. They’re a difficult to come by set of wheels but if you keep looking then they do appear.
Very much doubt I’ll ever find another set 1.5 miles from me though. As Lady Luck has been on my side then I have just purchased a lucky dip for tomorrow evenings EuroMillions whilst out at the post office. Probably spent up on my lucky streak though haha!
Kind regards,
Tom

Morning all,
The next upgrade for this utterly gorgeous A2 to see it dripping with specification is to enhance its recently retrofitted RNS-E PU:
As this vehicle is used by the other driver here I have had complaints that the smartphone connectivity is lacking compared what was available in Project OEM. I have therefore got these spares out of the garage ready to for this afternoon/evening:
Audi A3 Bluetooth Telephone Module
This will be placed on the floor of the passenger footwell compartment in its foam holder.
Audi A3 Audi Music Interface (AMI)
This will be safely tucked into the lower aperture in the ECU/CCCU carrier
The above items are the factory solution for absolute perfect clarity handsfree calling and smart phone/smart device streaming. There simply isn’t a better alternative.
Bovee WMAA3000A
This will be connected to the above AMI for cable-free streaming which also still allows track names etc within DIS, ColorMFA and if course the splendid 3DcolorMFD.
The looms which were supplied by Bart at VAG Retrofits has been prepared and ready for installation:
The only thing to add to this further down the road will e an Arduino to enable the PDC/OPS display on the RNS-E when reverse is selected. A job for another day as I have so much more on this weekend.
After this evening I should have no more complaints about iPhone connectivity!
Kind regards,
Tom

Afternoon all,
That was a pleasurable couple of hours fitting the rest of the Audi A3 Infotainment suite, all is sorted and correctly coded for use.
Passengers Footwell Compartment sporting its new items, one of which isn’t on show (AMI) but it’s there:
Here’s the head unit running the custom firmware to allow some nice additional features:
Which is present in ColorMFA:
The AMI connected to my phone:
Which is running a Podcast as seen on the ComorMFA:
And finally the RNS-E PU in Telephone mode connected to the Three network on my phone:
With the telephone messages within ColorMFA:
As you all know, I’m an absolute fan of the A3 infotainment items within the A2 environment, they look rather good and they just work faultlessly.
The instrument cluster display is lacking in additional information to what I’ve been used to the last few months in the Project EUD A2 so have since purchased another 3DcolorMFD screen…
Yes I’ve also chosen a custom car image of how this car will look in the coming weeks!
Kind regards,
Tom

Hello Bob,
You’re very much welcome here anytime Sir. Although my fleet has altered recently, I’ll never forget how you rescued me out of a pickle back in March 2020 when my Ebony Black BBY commuter gave up so sold me your Azure Blue A2 which of course became the well-known Project OEM.
If I can help you with my skills and tool box then I’m more than happy to oblige.
Kind regards,
Tom

Evening,
Thank you very much. Glad you’re enjoying the updates, just as much as I’m enjoying conducting them. Hopefully you can see what I’ve been up to during the potential visit tomorrow.
Kind regards,
Tom

Morning all,
After my luck of finding a set of the rare A8 D2 wheels just down the road last week I said I’d try my luck on a lottery ticket. Well I didn’t win the jackpot so still back at work yesterday morning but did win a little bit to cover the costs of another purchase that this fantastic A2 needs:
Remember this image for the Project EUD A2:
Well there is nothing wrong with the current instrument cluster but how about a 3DcolorMFD screen being installed in the coming weeks, which will be displaying this to welcome me:
I’ll hopefully have the associated full Votex kit adhered to the body before the screen is soldered into place. Cannot wait for the exterior look to be complete.
Kind regards,
Tom
