Default Just picked up an '06... So happy!

This is definitely the best vehicle I've ever had! I haven't been able to drive it too much since I brought it home on Wednesday (thanks NJ and your harsh winters!) but the few times I have, wow! I love this thing!!! So much that I'm ditching my Bonneville for it! The lost of the luxury has been made up in "damn thats fast!"

I have 1 question though... The headlights are on Auto, and on the lower right side of the dash is a headlight pic lit up during day light hours. Does anyone know what that means? Day time running lights?

My only question so far!

a lot of newer cars have that. its just an indicator that the daytime lights are on. if you turn the lights on manually it will turn off. nothing is wrong

and pull the headlight **** will turn on the foglights. Most also don't know that the car has telescoping steering. Unlock the tile lever and pull the steering wheel. trunk release under the rr headrest. black plastic tray under console lid, will lift out and fit in cup holder. Hold t/c button for 30 seconds will activate special tune file good for 35hp. pull out relay under the hood, bend over the negative tab reinsert and it will allow driving lights, high beams and foglights to be on at the same time.

If M6, flush the clutch fluid, you can use a turkey baster, refill pump pedal several times and repeat.

Enjoy

Enjoy, I still love my 06 the same as when I bought it three yrs ago. Mine is a A4 with only a K&N and it puts a lot of cocky bmw and other high end car drivers here in socal in their place. My only issue is having to listen to my wife complain about the in-town gas mileage.

^^^^ it is very well known on the GTO forum's. There is a trick to it. Something about holding the button while turning the key with the drivers door open, I don't remember the exact steps.

Spice Red Metallic is sexy. I should know. My Goat gets praise at car meets, and on the street. Happy Modding.
