  1. You can get Waze for AA now on PlayStore for none Beta users.
  2. Do you think you will get a invite when you installed it over apkmirror? Google knows all, also they know you got a beta version but not from them... the Beta is there for tests and to send bug reports and should not be shared over the internet. Because of that many Company's refuse to give Beta tests to almost anyone, just a few hand picked Developers and testers. Also the Beta version can harm your Device to, since the Code isn't completed yet and could send your information (Passwords etc.) to some other app without you knowing about it. There are more and more Hacks on phones these days since everyone tends to have everything on the Phone ( Bank accounts, PayPal,...) so do try to minimise the risk yourself. And the *.apk files on apkmirror aren't certified from a know source so they could have been altered also. But just saying
  3. Ok that is a different story then Im only looking at new cars and there, the new E class and 5 series is 1-2 classes above, as is the price. Here we don't feel anything of Brexit, rather that Skoda is doing so well that the Superb costs the same as the Passat, and the new Karoq is also getting really expensive for a small SUV Skoda...
  4. Why drive basic cars? The new 5 series is something else and beyond the E class. Don't drive old generation cars and say they are poor. Also if you drive a fully loaded Superb then drive a fully loaded BMW (or other car). Ofc you cant compare them in terms of price. In the E class you get LED lights with 84 modules that even dimm traffic signs, where on the Superb you get Xenons. And the new 5 series has a HUD that is huge (the biggest on the market at the 2017/2018 model), also wireless CarPlay, new Infotainment system etc.
  5. Te seats are Leatherette Alcantara and some other fabric mix, the Dashboard is also Leatherette or Artico... i don't really know nor i do care It does look nice and the seats are Sporty and Comfortable! Also not a fan of real leather, since i see no benefits compared to Alcantara, also why i drive a Sportline But some people do like dead cow on the seats... Im just saying the A6 is the better car and if money doesn't matter, then go for the A6, since the Superb does not offer that much more space and can be measured in centimeters Get a VW Caravelle if you need a lot of space Don't get me wrong, the Superb is a really good car, that's why i got one, but it just cant keep up with the "Premium" cars. Also some People wont see the difference, since for them it does not matter if the car got Air Suspension or the other stuff, since even the Superb got to much gadgets they don't know how to use (just read this Forum a bit...). But i myself am not even 30 Years (close tho :P ) and such things do matter, but Money is not unlimited and if it were, wouldn't buy a A6 but a RS 6 or something :P
  6. Yes both are a Option, and with my AMG package the dash is in leather, with open cell wood, and so on... the Superb is 2 classes below that, but also costs half as much And the Diesel engine on the Merc while you do hear it from the outside, inside it sound better then the Petrol (did drive both). Same goes for the Arteon, it is just a lot better insulated and inside you don't hear it no were near as in the Superb. And i don't care how it sound from the outside, because i sit in the Car Oh and most Petrol engines now days also sound horrible from the outside... you hear a weird "tk tk tk tk tk tk".... like a Ducati where you think its falling apart :P
  7. Well the MB is my Business car with AMG Interior (Leather dash etc.) and the Arteon i only had a Test drive. The Arteon is well made and in its own way does look premium inside
  8. You mean MIB3? Thats not a MIB3 unit... its still MIB2, just different screen and slightly different software - skin. Can also be done on some MY2017 to look the same, and also you can swap the screen without changing the Infotainment computer in the glow box Oh and the MB E Class looks also different inside And here a Picture of the E and Arteon inside
  9. That it just not true. If you do a VCDS readout of the Infotainment Module 5F, you get a MIB2 reading. Also the MJ2017 already have the new Skin inside and the Online stuff, just needs to be activated. Its the same stuff just packed differently. In the end, that doesn't matter to the end user what is behind it, but what he gets. In VW, you had all the stuff prior to the new glass design (Car Net). You could also change the Screen from a MY2017 to a MY2018 in a Superb and it would work, except for the App button needed to be coded. Seen it already done in a Octavia. Oh and on the new MY2018 Amundsen you can code the "old" infotainment skin, if you like the older design more (i do the Coding myself so i know what can be done) And the screen is not all Touchscreen, but the buttons work in a different way
  10. It starts recording when you open the App and doesn't show the same as the Car, since you already can look it up in the car... So it can't show the same as the data in the car
  11. It's still MIB2, just different screen and some minor software changes I think not even the 9.2" screen is MIB3, as i know only Audi uses that in the latest systems
  12. in 2018 all Petrols get a Particle Filter, so the DPF wont be a Diesel problem anymore... And the 190HP with AdBlue is cleaner then the other engines, since the TSI engines produce other "shi*" then the Diesel At the end, nothing is perfekt. If they want to ban Diesel cars from the Citys then i can understand you worry, but still if you buy a modern EURO 6 Diesel you should be fine for a lot of years to come, since i doubt they will ban everyone out of the City so no one can come to work or shop Maybe i see it differently since here Diesel engines are a lot more popular, even on low mileage a year, because the resell value is also higher then on petrol so you don't overpay the diesel at the beginning, and i think that wont be much different in the UK. Also how is the Diesel to Petrol price difference? Here its 15 to 20% for the Diesel
  13. Sorry don't misunderstand me, the 280HP is a nice car, but i just don't like the 4 cylinder noise on high revs and you hear it on the 1.4 even more. The Golf R and Cupra have almost the same Motor as the 280HP Superb, just a bit more tuned and with a nice Exhaust note, witch the Superb kinda lacks. Sure the Superb is a great car, that's why we all bought one Difference 190 vs. 280 is 3000€ and then the higher fuel consumption and Insurance. But everyone needs to decide for them self what they like and if they are willing to pay for it. What i would say to the 1.4 150HP one is, that in the ACT mode or 2 Cylinder mode, the Motor in cold weather does rattle funny and for some people can also be annoying (for me it was...). But well, it runs on 2 Cylinders so it's logical that it makes a rattle So Test it before buying! The ACT mode starts at roughly 1400 RPM and was the most annoying for me at around 1600-1700 RPM on low speeds around 50-60kmh / 30-35mph
  14. I don't need a 280TSI, where max. speed here is 130km/h... I like the TDI for the fast overtaking and 190HP is more then enough. Also don't need 4x4. If i want something 250hp+ then il get a Golf R or something like that where you can feel the power or rather a true hot hatch, not a big car like the Superb where i can tell that i can get 0-130 in 8s or so and Fuel economy is nuts... for 100km (62miles) i pay 6€ with my TDI, on the 280TSI with a consumption of 9 liters + and higher fuel price i would pay 10-11€, also Tax and Insurance is much higher, for in the end i don't get so much more with that much HP in a car like the Superb. As i said, the Golf R or Leon Cupra with 300hp is a whole different story and there i would gladly pay for it Oh and i heard the 280HP one... still doesn't sound really good and in comparison to my old 258HP 3.0 R6 sounds like a 1.0 Renault Clio :P
  15. You have to sing up once, fill everything and then wait for the Invite, if you get one! Not everyone gets one... its not closed, just not everyone gets in. In the Closed Beta forums they said that they hand pick every beta tester, so if you don't match there Profile you wont get in
