Re: USB Retrofit

Thanks but I only have an AUX port there so no where for it to slot in without cutting and as it’s quite a tight space, it would be a proper messy job doing that

USB Retrofit

Hi all, Has anyone fitted the USB & Aux to a pre-facelift Scirocco? I recently fitted a MIB unit and I installed the USB port which fits in in front of the gear stick, beside the parking sensors button. However, this port does not work for Apple CarPlay so need the bigger one but have no idea wh...

What are the chances of a retrofit of the front xenons on our model?

Re: Window Washer Malfunction

My car is factory fitted with the cruise control so I don't think that could be my issue. It's due a service so I might say it to them!

Window Washer Malfunction

Hi guys, bit of a problem here. Recently when I start my car the rear washer comes on constantly for about 5 seconds, then if I go to use it on the front or back nothing happens. I can still operate the front wipers but not the rear.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?

Reverse Camera?

Anyone ever retrofit one of these? Much work involved? I've seen a few on ebay cheap enough so would like to get it fitted if possible. I already have the factory parking sensors and I retrofitted a rns 510 unit! Any help would be much appreciated, Niall

Re: VW Factory Bluetooth - 2011 model

I just deleted all the paired devices (mine and my 2 brothers phones) and paired mine back up. Seems to be working fine now. My car was registered in June 2011 so it's now out of warranty unfortunately! Thanks for the help. Hopefully this will be a long term solution and not just a quick fix!!

VW Factory Bluetooth - 2011 model

Hi guys, so I've been using my factory bluetooth kit along with my retrofitted RNS510 system for the last 7/8months and have had absolutely no problems with it. Until today unfortunately. I was playing my music through the Media player off my iPhone 5 (as I always do) and all of a sudden it just kee...

Re: RNS-510 Maps problem

Press the map button twice to display the split screen (if it's not already shown), then in the drop down list on the split screen, select GPS Viewer. That will tell you how many satellites the unit is currenty tracking. Thanks man. 1/7 satellites being received, there's my problem! Thanks everyone

Re: RNS-510 Maps problem

It could have moved then? You need to stick it just under the air vents above the unit if possible.[/quote]

Then how does the RNS slide in to position, does that not block it?

If you fitted it behind the unit it could have fallen further into the car so a loss of signal?

To be honest I just put the aerial in behind the unit somewhere.. wasn't too sure where to put it and it worked grand when I installed it

Out of interest, how many satellites does the unit say its tracking ?
How do you check how many satellites it is running?
