Looks nice. Not sure i could live with those wheels tho, they would be fu**** in no time.

What does TrA90% mean?


I'll guess I'm going to have to be very careful with the wheels.

TRA90% means "transport mode", battery 90% charged. Transport mode, disables nearly all non essential electrical systems, (infotainment, climate, some exterior lights, rear camera, bluetooth etc) as well as limits the engine speed (presumably to avoid the guys at the docks taking the cars for a "spin" ?)

thanks guys, yep it's the sub-woofer mounted in the spare wheel, with a juicy 400w amp under the passenger seat, part of the specced Dynaudio package.

the sub sits on top of the spare wheel and uses it as a resonance chamber, so is screwed down from above by the big plastic nut. Obviously if you get a flat and need to remove the space saver spare, then the sub needs to be removed and the yellow connector is a quick release connector, for quick removal of the sub.

These Germans are far too clever - using the spare wheel well as a resonance chamber with the wheel still in it!!

Love the car, exactly the spec and colour I'd go for if i could justify the cost of swapping from my mk6 gtd.

Is that just like ESP or an advanced system like the Electric SLS?
