Re: scirocco on my tomtom

You should be able to access it through your Tomtom.
In Tomtom Home app. go to Add Traffic, Voices and Cams. and then go to Images and Icons. Car symbols are listed in there.
I haven't hooked up to it for a while but there were at least a couple of Roc images you can use last time I looked.

Re: Best way to sell my current car?

Autotrader worked very well for me. Get yourself a temporary alias email address where you can direct all enquiries too and then scrap it when the car is sold. I came across a few people trying to scam me but you can usually tell them a mile off. Anyway there is plenty of advice on the Autotrader we...

Re: week 45 model changes

Has anyone else seen the updates on VW Uk website yet? It gives the 210PS details but no data as expected. My main concern is the interior choices seem to have changed - black leather has gone to be replaced by anthracite leather instead. I only ordered mine on Tuesday and I will be very, very angr...

Re: AUX Issue

Hi Nick, The ipod only seems to be powered when the ignition or radio are turned on, thats what mine does anyway, as soon as the keys out, the power symbol on the ipod goes out. My prob is once the rcd turns on the ipod it doesnt close it down when the cars off, so over night the ipod goes flat and...

Re: Which types of media do you use in car?

I have an 80gb 5th gen iPod that stays in the car all the time. It has 53 gig of music on it which is over 7000 songs. (29 days worth :) ) Sometimes I use playlists but mostly it's just left in mix mode. With so much music on there I'm regularly surprised by tracks that I'd forgotten about. The iPod...

Nice pics chillout. I've not had a chance to take the Roc on any really long drives since it arrived in April but I'm looking forward to taking it from London out to the west of Ireland to visit some folks in about a months time. Should be a few good photo opportunities in places like Conemara Natio...
