Re: Bluetooth/head unit

I think I’m going to go for it
Does the heated seats and air con settings still come through on it ?

Sorry for all of the questions - does it require any coding etc?

Is this the case with most of the after market ones?
Can you play podcasts via Bluetooth

Re: Bluetooth/head unit

That looks good .... I’m guessing the mod you’ve done is where the usb is going just below the gear stick?

Does the phone have to be plugged in via the usb all of the time ? Or can you do things over BT

Re: Bluetooth/head unit

I was actually looking at this one
Is it easy to install ?
I was thinking about adding a reversing camera on mine , can this be done via Bluetooth or does it need a physical connection back to the unit ?

I’m guessing it doesn’t have DAB?
Do you have a picture of it installed in yours

Bluetooth/head unit

Hello guys
Just got a 2010 scirocco and it doesn’t have the Bluetooth enabled.

I am wondering what the best route to go down .... do I buy one or the modules or do I go for an aftermarket head unit ?

I’d like to be able to answer calls etc but I would like to be able to listen to my podcasts too.

Re: New owner help

I ended up getting the car
I was very impressed with the condition and all the paperwork was in place.

The car had cruise control which was an added bonus

Re: New owner help

I honestly don't know. The rarity will keep prices of the R model strong but I expect general prices to drop in a few months when the reality of the financial consequences of this pandemic become apparent. It’s a tough one .... I will go see it and see how I feel. I’ve been reading the used car ind...

Re: New owner help

That’s what I thought .... I’m going to go see it tomorrow.

Do you think they have hit bottom in depreciation or still have some to go ?

Re: New owner help

Thanks for taking the time to explain..... I was looking for a golf then I seen this and thought it was a good price for the miles etc.

Do you think I would be better sitting tight and waiting to see if a cheaper one comes up ?

Yes Xenons are standard fitment on R models as are paddles on the DSG models.

Cheers for heads up

Re: New owner help

What checks would you recommend?

The dealer is driving a real hard bargain , he said she’s not accepting any offers as it is under priced compared to what’s out there. He wouldn’t even take a deposit. He said the first to come can have it as he has so much interest

Re: New owner help

What do you think ?
I’ve spoken to the guy who’s selling it , he bought the car 5 years ago and sold it to an older gent who’s now now asked him to sell again. He’s hardly used it.

The service history and MOT seem to correspond
