McLaren 720S vs 570S quirk comparison + adding CarPlay to your VW with RCD330 radio review

The McLaren 720S and 570S share many features, yet they offer distinct experiences even when stationary. Both models boast a twin-turbo V8 engine, with the 570S featuring a 3.8-liter and the 720S a 4.0-liter engine. Despite both having upward-opening doors, the door handle placement differs, particularly with the 570S Spider convertible variant. Gear selectors vary between the models, as does the unique folding dash gauge display on the 720S, a first for its class of supercar. In another realm of upgrades, the RCD330 Radio for the MK6 GTI and Golf stands out for creature comforts, enhancing the car's experience with features like Android Auto, purchasable on platforms like Amazon. For installation, tools such as a Torx T20 screwdriver and a plastic trim removal tool come in handy. Adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can modernize your car by a decade with a simple DIY installation in less than 30 minutes. While the older unit's built-in navigation is missed, apps like Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps work excellently.


Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, purchasing it before the M2 CS had been unveiled. The choice between an M3, M4, or the M2 was a tough one, but the M2's appeal proved irresistible. Her license plate amusingly makes other drivers want to race her all the time. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic ownership experience straight from the dealer. She shares her car adventures on Instagram @turrbokitty. If I were to own an M2, I'd consider a Stage 1 tune, smaller wheels, a valved catback exhaust, and maybe a roof wrap, though the toughest choice remains between a DCT or manual transmission. Ansrwd, a series of car reviews by real owners, offers insights not from automotive journalists like Chris Harris or Doug Demuro, but from actual enthusiasts. Cars featured in this series include models like the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari F12/F430 and 458 Italia, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, Drift Cars, and more. Douglas Sonders contributes with his experiences, including his latest project, a 2008 Lexus GX470. Thanks to Douglas for providing the photos in the video.
