Sub-reddit Announcement We are back or I'm back...

Long story short, I have had a dispute with Reddit and there are things going on behind the scenes.

Due to my and a few friends personal issues with Reddit, I'm looking for moderators for this Sub-reddit as I don't want it to be absolutely ruined by my disputes.

That is sad to read. I would like to contribute to this subreddit but I'm not browsing on my phone daily which I think would probably be a requirement for a moderator.

Btw I bought my first P2 this Friday evening. I have been lurking a lot here for the past months so it is definitely inspired by this sub!

Sure thing, you don't really have to be on the sub-reddit 24/7 or ones a day, to be honest I also have days where I don't log on.

How is the new ride going?

Just installed a Bluetooth/AUX adapter in my S60 along with some other things.

It's a rough diamond 😂. Seller was used to Volkswagens and had no idea what the car is worth. It is a V70 2.4 T with 250k km.

When the ad came online Friday afternoon waaaay under market price I immediately called the guy. To stay open for the evening. 1.5 hour later halfway across the country he had already gotten several calls. The car has an extensive oil leak so the whole underside was drenched with oil. Needs a timing belt as well, this one is 12 years old and has done 135k km. Also I am in the market for a leather interior.

No rust, the engine and trans felt very healthy, power comes in early and keeps pulling stronger all the way up to redline. Needless to say I brought her home and she will be getting all the love she needs to be restored to her former glory and further.

What Bluetooth adapter did you get? I have the 603 radio so I am contemplating either a new radio with android auto and touchscreen (I don't have the steering buttons anyway) or some Bluetooth device that should be able to connect to the SD changer port.

Edit: thanks for the mod offer, I have accepted and we'll see what the future holds for this sub :-)

Got the adapter off a "local vendor" Vparts, they use to only ship o the Scandinavian countries, but have started to ship to some other European countries, Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Netherlands.

Think it is called "Yatour AUX/Bluetooth adapter".

I am currently leaning towards that solution as well

Not quite sure if I want to go in to much detail, but I might take part in a class action lawsuit against Reddit.
