Audi A3/S3/RS3 (8V): MagSafe phone holder wireless charger + CarPlay adapter

mr-fix 2024-03-08 | DIY solution for ultimate Audi A3/#S3/RS3 8V phone holder, #MagSafe charger and wireless #CarPlay.

Charger is powered from the cabin fuse box, USB-C cable is guided under the dashboard and through the air vent near the phone holder. On top of that I've added CarlinKit 5.0 wired-to-wireless CarPlay adapter under the armrest, which makes sure that I don't need to use any cables. CarPlay will connect without cables, automatically. Phone will be charged as soon as it's placed on the MagSafe holder.

Dont buy CarlinKit TBox AR - android dashcam review

mr-fix 2023-06-25 | 11 reasons not to buy #CarlinKit TBox AR.all-in-one dashcam, android box, and wireless CarPlay/AndroidAuto adapter. I've been testing this product for couple months and I can honestly say that this is device is faulty by design. It does not function well as any an Android Box, #dashcam, nor the wireless adapter. It has problems with image quality, recording stability, system performance, boot up time, there's no parking mode, saving videos is difficult, there's no support for cars without touch screen.

✌️ Instead I do recommend getting CarlinKit 4.0 wireless adapter AND a separate stand-alone dashcam.

📺 CarlinKit 4.0 review: youtu.be/7DO49LDcHq8

👍 PROS of CarlinKit #TBox AR
all-in-one device for clean installation
Easy installation - single wire for power and comm
a lot of features (wireless CP/AA, video player in motion, internet connection, Google Play Store)

👎 CONS of CarlinKit TBox AR
Boot up speed is too high - skips short trips!
Video freezes for couple seconds
low bitrate = artifacts and glitches, noise in low-light conditions
Marking emergency footage is difficult and takes too long
No parking mode - no power when parked
Requires additional memory card - does not store footage to internal memory
Can't use system UI if car not equipped with touch display
android-related stability issues - mostly CarPlay related
using internal mic for Siri - low quality HFP instead of A2DP
ports on top - can't install as high as want/need
port icons not visible from inside
one-time use sticker mount - can't reposition/switch vehicles

XTOOL D7 Car Diagnostic Tool - can it do all?

mr-fix 2023-05-14 | Is XTOOL D7 the best tablet car #scanner now? Looked for pros & cons, ups & down in VW, BMW, and Fiat.

VW Golf MK7 (5G): cup holder ambient light coding & wiring

mr-fix 2023-04-24 | How to retrofit DIY cup holder #ambient lights & front cubby #LED illumination, enable it with OBDeleven or VCDS in #VW Golf MK7, including coming/leaving home illumination and slider controls from Volkswagen Discover infotainment system screen. This is not just a piggyback connection to footwell lights or dashboard backlight. This was wired as independent BCM (body control module) circuit, coded with it's own controls, brightness, and logic.

ℹ️ This tutorial is based on my own research and documentation that I found related to Audi A3 8V with interior lighting package. Same procedure should work for all other MQB platform vehicles, including Seat Leon MK3 (5F), Skoda Octavia 3 (5E). This tutorial might not be 100% accurate and may be updated in future. Some coding and adaptation changes might differ because of the production year, software versions, or vehicle trim version. Required coding procedure might be adjusted for facelift vehicles.

⚠️ Warning! You are doing this modification at your own risk. This modification may void your cars warranty. This modification might cause vehicle damage. Any modification to the electrical system are potentially dangerous and might end with electrical fire.

Golf MK7 Front View Camera, part 3: wiring through firewall

mr-fix 2023-01-01 | Guiding wires through #firewall in VW Golf #MK7 to connect front view camera from the engine bay to MIB2 unit in the cabin. Finding grommet above drivers footwell, adding ground connection for the camera, guiding #wiring to the front grill, accessing back of the VW Infotainment unit (MIB) in the passengers glovebox.

🚗 This project is made in 2015 Volkswagen Golf MK7 with MIB2 Discover Media infotainment system and retrofitted original RVC High camera. This is not a retrofit project, since this functionality was not available in for VW Golf MK7. Some other MQB vehicles had option of 360 AreaView feature with 4 cameras and 3D view. My project is a custom modification that I'm planning to make in my vehicle. I'm just sharing my progress and hope for your input.
