Re: Bad Colour choice or not?

I love the Indium Grey, I was originally searching for one in Rising Blue but then came across one in Grey and wondered why I was ever looking at any other colour. I don't have any pictures of mine when dirty as i normally just take pics once i've washed it. If i get it dirty this weekend i will tak...

Re: RNS 310 I phone 6 compatibility issues....

Yea its a bit frustrating that the VW MDI cable does not work.

My advice would be buy the adapter with the 0.2m extention on it, the basic adapter can be a bit short if you try and put the phone under the armrest.

Re: RNS 310 I phone 6 compatibility issues....

I have had no end of problems with my iPhone 5s and my car. I purchased the white collared MDI cable from TPS and it did work for a short term but kept cutting out. I tried MDI and RNS firmware updates but no joy. Spoke to VW and they said it is a know issue and were working on an MDI update. Best s...

Re: Need a Health Check Before 2000 mile trip to Europe

Also, it depends on which countries within Europe you are visiting.

Some have laws on carrying warning triangle, hi-vis vest and spare light bulbs.

Also I believe it is now law in France that you have to carry a breathalyser. Think you can get away with those cheap disposable ones in halfords.

So called the dealers the car was ordered from as I thought they would have a note of it since first few services was also done by them. Their response was yes we can ...

Re: What RNS 510 will i need to buy???

I called my local VW Dealer and they gave me the code for free. If i can remember correctly all you need is the serial number of the RCD510 and the VIN number of your car. I have also seen some adverts on ebay offering the same service for under £10 if you are unable to get the code from the dealer....

Re: What RNS 510 will i need to buy???

I changed RCD510 for RNS510 earlier this year and yes you can just plug and play. But my car is late 2010 so has the white MFD so a bit unsure on the red MFD. Also my steering wheel buttons worked straight off too, but again I have the new flat bottom steering wheel so unsure on the older style whee...

Re: MDI Update Issue

You need to press the MEDIA button, then select MDI. Aux is the 35mm input.

If not i would put some mp3's on the usb drive and try and play them, then you will know if your USB drive is working with the MDI.

Re: MDI Update Issue

I too have had constant issues with the iPhone 5s and the MDI. Apparently there is a new MDI update that VW are working on. So for the moment I just leave my old iPhone 4 in the car for music. With a 2009 car you should be able to go to the 2011 MDI update, you also need to make sure that the file i...

Re: Unusual tyre wear after trackday

Looking at the pictures, that is completely normal wear for a track day. Problem is your tyres are not designed for the heat put through them on a track day. You can buy road legal semi slick tyres but not really worth it if you are only on track now and again. I see this tyre wear a lot on race car...

Re: VW and 4 wheel alignment

The trouble with the alignment is a garage will set this up on a completely flat patch of tarmac or concrete where the alignment will be spot on. The problem arises when you go out on a public road where they are all cambered, so your steering wheel will always be off centre.
