What do you guys use to get android auto in your b8.5 s4's without removing any usability of the original MMI system?

Hi all. I'm looking at an S4 right now and the car seems to be in great condition with recent maintenance with receipts to prove it. And it currently has a CTS cold air intake which was installed by a previous owner. Not the current seller. And I was wondering if there's any way to tell if the car has been tuned before and then "un-tuned" to sell. Thanks

I just found a 2013 S4 for sale and I was hoping to get some input. I know that the automatics have had issues about the mechatronic unit failing, I saw some things that this issue was remediated in the b8.5s vs the b8s. Is there much of an improvement between the 2013 S4 and the 2014-2016 years for mechatronic unit improvement or reliability? Or is the unit failure purely tied to guys not completing transmission fluid changes on schedule.

Thanks for any input.

I just found an S4 on marketplace that is 21k CAD. Has about 120k km. But it has a CEL, the seller says that the code is for the secondary air injection. Is this just the carbon cleaning? I haven't really seen much about guys letting the carbon build up to the point of getting a code thrown. Would this lead you guys to believe that other aspects of the car may be in disarray? Or is it more of that the seller drives it very modestly and that helps build up carbon quickly. TIA

I'm looking to buy a b8.5 Audi S4 this summer, probably a 2014-2016 ideally. And I was wondering if I should really stay away from tuned ones. I definitely wouldn't be buying one that is listed as stage two or higher. But I'm curious about the stage 1 tunes. Does being tuned kind of turn you away from purchasing that one? Or is the stage 1 tune not that big of a deal for you guys.

Ideally I would find one that's bone stock and Technik trim level for about $24000 CAD in and around the 115000-130000 km range. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've just got a question on what kind of pay ranges one can expect in Canada for NDT for MTII UTI and higher. Some people I talk to are saying don't expect anything more than $37 others are saying it's lower. Some are saying it's higher. Hoping to just get some clarification.

TIA.
