    Thanks for posting Adam. I plan to do the same mod. B8/8.5 S4's are great daily drivers. This p3 v3 looks and functions so good! Like it's meant to be right from factory.

    Great video Adam! I just now saw this. Quick tip, since you have a V3 gauge you can set your Analog 1 setting to "A1.EC" (ethanol content) and your Analog 2 setting to "A2.Ft" (fuel temp) and then the gauge will read "Ethanol" and display "E 9" instead of just " 9" when you're on ethanol content.
    Anyways, killer video! It's done so well, please let us know if you need anything else or if there is anything you'd like to work together on in the future. - Jake

    Hey quick question. To power the analyzer and voltage adapter which fuse would be most appropriate? The red 5, the blue 15, or the yellow 20 fuse? I don’t know which one to use to power. Thank you for answering my question. Great video btw, I have this all set up ( e z install, just time consuming) just not sure how to power.

    Love the P3 Ethanol bracket. I've bought one from your sight. I'm hoping I can figure out how the sensor was mounted to it given there are no holes in the sensor to attach, yet the video shows two bolts going through. Tight install and video. Thanks!

    • @VancityAudi
      @VancityAudi  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for the order and for watching. I have a note on that part, on my website, that the Continental ethanol sensor doesn't come with mounting points so you'll have to use zip ties or zap straps.

    Love the gauge however at $300 american dollars this is so expensive for any gauge no matter what it displays. I get there was some good RnD done and it fits into the interior nicely however its just beyond unjustifiably costly for me. COBB tuners can display all of this and do so much more as well as display the data here at nearly the same price. if these were around $150USD it would be expensive but reasonable. I hope they sponsored you for this piece and i am sure you will get the most out of it in this car.
