Got my new iPhone 4 in the post today. Works great with my Fiscon Kit. Handsfree is great and works well with my MDI interface as well. It even fits into my Brodit 3GS Mount!

Re: The Complete Detailing Guide...

Great guide.

Are there any differences in the cleaning procedures (and products) required for truffle rather than black leather? I'm a bit nervous about applying anything that would discolour the stitching but I guess this isn't an issue with black stitching.

Any advice?

Re: Convenience Menu - Mirror Down

Here's a little gem I've dug out of Germany...... even if folding mirror option is fitted. " Passenger mirror drop does not work with passenger mirror package and reverse gear is engaged. . No item in the MFA to set this feature. When produced in the period Sept-Nov' 2008, Scirocco lacks this ...

Re: Is the new iPod Classic compatible with the RNS510?

Just to close the loop on this, I took the plunge and bought a 160gb iPod Classic. Seems to work OK, but it is a little big laggy (so will be keeping an eye on the discussion at http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3228&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Noooooooooooooo! That is pretty annoying. Hopefully you can impress upon your dealer how disappointed you are and how you're looking forward to the free tank of fuel they'll be giving you to make up for the extra delay! Hang in there! PS: let me know when yours finally arrives - I want to know if yo...

It's here :hyper: Collected it from the dealer this morning. It's already filthy and the weather is pretty shocking so no pictures as yet, but big smiles all round. Only one hiccup: it seems that due to an oversight, the car had been supplied without the Navigation DVD, so there were no maps install...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

I spoke to my dealer today and got the registration for my car, which is apparently in the country!

I've been told to expect delivery on 5/6 October (a week today! :clap: ). If this happens then my order -> delivery time will have been 16 weeks.

Roll on next week!

Re: Can't believe the delivery time!

hey spohsgd and trix, maybe it's slightly off the lead time topic, but you both raise an interesting point. When you talk about the deals you went for, were these based on financing the car via VW? Based on the 3 dealers I talked to seriously, I was offered a couple of deals, but usually based on a ...

Never heard of dealers offering to give customers a car if there car on order is delayed! Did he/she give you anything in writing?

Re: RNS 510 new Firmware - SDHC, Voice Control!

My car is scheduled to be built this week (I soooooooo can't wait for it). I wonder if it will be delivered with the latest firmware on the RNS510? My guess is probably not, I bet there is a pile of head units sitting in the factory with the previous firmware version.

Re: Lead time

Trix - you do seem to have got a rotten deal :?

I ordered mine on 14 June from Lookers VW Burlney and the dealer called me last week to reconfirm build week 36 with delivery in the second half of September.

Re: Lead time

Hi guys: some-time reader, first-time poster :)
