I'd guess a year or two since the A8 already has it (I think).

Default BenZ, BMW, Lexus, JAg, have had it for years.

Some use dopplar radar and some use laser. Sadly, the laser is the worst system out of all of them.

Default I did a little work on the Jag system...

Back when I was in college. The supplier for it had a small lab in the college town I lived in and that was my beer/food money job. This was 2+ years ago, and they were already getting the second version ready to ship.

I don't know if you can really say Audi is behind the times. It's more like Audi finally found a supplier with a price/performance combination that they liked.

Default Really? Did you go to Purdue? I worked in that group at Delphi but not that particular product.

Did you work in the validation lab? What years were you at the lab? You might of known someone that I know that worked there.

Default Yep

Did a little validation on it, but mainly did programming for a test tool that came out of that lab.

Default Did you know a girl named...

Christina Noll? I think she was there from 1998-2000.


Even if you didn't it's still a "small world".

I got my BSME at Purdue in 1999.
Go Boilers! (to bad they choked in the tournament this year)

Oh ya, you can appreciate my Euro Plate from my B5.
