ColourMFA Ultimate Install Guide for Audi S3 8P. ColorMFA DIY installation Audi A3 8P RS3 8P PQ35

This is the video installation guide for ColourMFA in Audi A3 S3 RS3 8P. ColourMFA is such a step up from the original red or white screen that it's worth taking the time to do this mod. After years and years of the S3 8L crew being able to enjoy all the functionality of ColourMFA in their cars compatibility has increased to all PQ35 cars.
