Re: MDI on 2010MY Scirocco

Re: MDI on 2010MY Scirocco

If its a uk spec car you already have a 6 disc CD changer built in with the RCD-510... The Cd changer does take the place of the MDI and although it IS in the UK brochure I couldn't imagine why anyone would ever have it when there is already a 6 disc changer built into the dash. If you are not from ...

Re: Long Wave Radio - yes I know, but it's for TMS!!!

I also like listening to 5Live sports extra for ashes coverage... and its the only time i listen to it.... so I got a £30 DAB personal radio from ebay and plugged it in using the Aux port. Works perfectly for the cricket :D

Re: New audio system with a sub

Nice Job!

I am keen to change my stock speakers but probably not to the extent you have.... just swapping the existing for something a little better. How easy is it to do?

I have seen information on how to remove the front door cards, but nothing on the rear speakers.

Re: Collecting my new Roc this morning

oh well at least you got it going..... I think once you find a method that works you stick with it.... like me having the clutch down!

defiantly not an exact science though as made out in the manual.

Re: Daylight Running Lights. ARGGHHH......

That one was a deliberate typo as not sure to what extent the swear police are active here. The Mazda was a surprisingly good drive - nicely accurate when pushing but civilised when taking a more relaxed approach. ESP cut in too quickly though as soon as there was any hint of a loss of traction (ev...

Re: Daylight Running Lights. ARGGHHH......

I have now managed to get them off. Couple of tips. You pull the indicator stark toward you and hold it there. Also the light switch needs to be in the 'O' position and not in the auto position. I also had my foot on clutch when turning on the ignition. After 3 seconds you hear a beep and it's done.

Mine is a 2010 TDI. UK GT Spec.... just had 3 attempts at putting indicator stork down and head beams on.. turning ignition on for 3 seconds and them off..... made no difference, still have DLR ON.

Re: Saturday is the Day!!

Yea mine is a company lease car too...

Im just gonna get a remap and not say anything. If i get a bluefin i can change it back i guess. But i can't see it being a problem and won't have any effect on our insurance.
