Actually, if I get a little time this weekend, will try and add a NFC sticker to it so it auto starts Waze and increases my phone volume to the max.

Blue-Garuda Magnetic Car Mount/Phone Holder In 2015 Audi S3
It's basically a round magnet on your vent. you literally just slap the phone up there.
and it never moves, EVERRRRR.
so you're at a light and you want to text, you just grab it, and then the light turns green - you slap it back on.
really easy to use.
Thanks for posting a pic of how you got this mount to stay put in the vent. I was not having any luck finding a way to make it stay put. So far I am very happy with this mount as well.

Thanks again!

Not sure what you mean about NFC sticker.

As soon as the phone touches the sticker, you can program it to take certain actions....turn on bluetooth, increase volume, start Waze.

Pretty cool stuff

I tried to center the sticker on the mount, but I think the magnet is causing interference and not allowing it to function properly.

Oh it's a good day.
It's a GREAT DAY!

Wheels - HRE Flow Form 01 - optional fog finish 19x8.5 +47
Tires - Conti Extreme DS (summers) 245/30

225/35 Tires were removed from my HRE that I used on my Golf R.
I ordered the new rubber from TR.
The tires were installed and an alignment was done today, around 700-800 miles after the h&r sport springs went on.

and they have great equipment.

The car feels so much better now!
Looks great too!
More relaxed over bumps. More comfy, but still sporty. Nice and quiet.
These tires are 3lbs lighter than Michelin PSS.
Reducing unsprung weight great for many reasons.
Better steering/braking/acceleration/mpg. You can feel 3lbs at each corner.
A set of 4... the conti are $204 cheaper. That is a free tire.
I had these tires on the Golf, they are FANTASTIC in the dry AND wet.
They last longer than the PSS. Great performance, but even better value.

Enjoying the new tire size, immensely.
Perfect size for this car!
NO rubbing, even with the drop!
