The car has no spare, it comes with a spare tire sub thats a 5in woofer.

This is a slim mount 12in Rockford dual 2 ohm being powered by the OEM amp. OEM is pretty strange, the amp sperates the two voice coils, hence you see two terminals on the box going into a 4pin plug.

The box is built to Rockford's specs at 25.4L. It's not going to dig low like a sub 12 in a big box, but I can keep all my trunk space like this and I don't have to run any wires/amps etc.

what!? they cheaped out even more on the 8.5 and didnt even include a spare now!? jesus christ VW.... at least my mk8 has a spare.

Has a kit that has a 12v pump and a can of compressed air with goo. I always take the spares out of the cars, I always run aftermarket wheels so it's not going to fit anyways.

Less weight = more speed.

Yah, spares are overrated, that is what I have compressed air and goo (to wreck your tire for good). Tow truck is your best friend when you get a flat :lol.

Toss the jack, toss the spare.

Keep the wrench, key, add plugs, 12v pump, and pair of pliers. You can plug a tire without taking off the wheel, and if i really need a jack, everyone else carries one that will work lol. If i'm lowered, jacks not gonna fit anyways so what's the point of carrying it.

That's all you need.

I guess it’s decent weight savings too. That spare tire plus jack is heavy.

For the best weight savings see this thread: Link

Reminds me I'm Guangdong hoarding an old JL 10W6 that I've been meaning to install in the BM

I’ve never been a fan of subs. I keep too much crap (soda cans in the door cards) in my car, everything rattles.
And if the vw really has such a bad build quality as hobz rants about, then good luck with the interior rattles.

Never had that problem in the mk7!!! its only these new ones that have this horrible build quality.

He rants because he's rich and because he still loves Beetles. :D

If you turn up the bass loud enough then you can't hear the rattles

:joy:

No rattles here.

thanks again to DjStyles for giving me these great tips. I bought an OBDEleven and a pro subscription for 1 year to start messing with these VW shits. lots of weird programming you can do.

So far ive:

1) turned off Soundacktor - no more lame fake engine noise
2) program the hatch to remote unlock, thus letting these pop struts do their work
3) program the windows for "komfort" access and thus allowing them to roll up when you hold lock button
4) turn up the differential engagement strength (less torque steer)

If youre wondering how i made gifs, i used the Shortcut app on my iphone. inside there's a automatic gif maker that you can turn videos, or photos into gifs. There's also one for making memes. Pretty neat app if you've never used it.

You'll need to make a GIF out of the antics that ensue at the next Stock and Noob meet.

What torque steer? huehuehue

I think there's also a way to turn on lane centering and full traffic assist adaptive cruise control (goes to 0 and starts itself again), if you care about that kind of thing. Not sure if removed on MK8 tho, but you can tell those Tesla cucks that "AutoPilot" isn't special.

Tesla really kicked things off but their stuff feels really questionable when you put it next to BMW's newest highway assistant.

One of the pickup trucks will have Level 3 in its next release (eyes off self drive).

Has anyone tried the Chinese systems within the city?

Ejecto headlight!

Not sure if the Audi was hit, or if the headlight* simply fell out because German. :D

22nd and Slocan? You got smoked?

What versions is driving assistance pro in the X5? It can be really sketchy if you don't pay attention to it :lol

What did you hit if you were in the right lane?

My guess is - RAV4 in left "lane" is turning left, red Audi goes around to the right, someone decides to try and cross or turn right from the cross road and hits the Audi

If it is Slocan and 22nd, the old Rav4 is on the left turn lane and that's westbound 22nd. Some one probably tried to go straight through on Slocan Northbound, there's a stop sign there but that intersection really needs a stop light or god forbid a roundabout.

2024+ X5/6/7 and 5/7 series can option this.
If the car suggests lane changes that u can approve by looking into a side mirror, you have it
