Re: MP3's on DVD??

Yeah, it's not good to be honest. If the changer accepted MP3 cds it wouldnt be so bad. Or indeed if the head unit took a larger SD it wouldn't be a problem.

Re: MP3's on DVD??

Gotta say, I love the car, but the RNS without the ipod interface is terrible for MP3's I eventually got a 2Gb card and loaded my tracks on. Took about 40 mins to copy the whole card to the HD, then I found that some tracks weren't there because of naming problems! What a load of crap. If it were my...

Re: MP3's on DVD??

I put MP3s in the changer last night and it didn't accept them, they work fine in the main head unit.

Re: MP3's on DVD??

Oh when I said it's 2009 not 1999, I meant the car was built in 2009.

MP3's on DVD??

Ok so the RCN510 or wot not accepts DVD videos. But does it accept DVDs with MP3s on it? Reason I ask is I tried one and it didn't work which I thought was strange, but thought maybe I had it in the wrong format, if that is possible? Also how come the stupid 6 disk changer doesn't accept MP3 CD's? J...

Re: Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Andy, the wheels are excellent and It was a pleasure to meet you!. Regarding the rocco, well unfortunately it's not really a suitable company car and as such, unless anyone wants to buy it, it will be chopped in against some new vans I think. Shame as it's such a nice car :( If I were single, I woul...

Re: Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Thought i'd post a quick update for those interested. Firstly, the gymnast has been officially de-sponsered with a stiff letter. Personally I would sent him the bill, but there you go. Secondly, last Tuesday I picked up the 4 alloys we bought from Beezer. Have to say, all were mint and just as descr...

Re: Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Yeah could well do, problem is, it may have been like this for over a year, and been driven. Therefore god knows what other damage has been done as a result. Makes my blood boil. That car is so nice, so much potential. Oh and did I mention the dent in the rear wing? LOL *bangs head against wall* One...

Re: Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Well it gets worse. Not only has the guy who had it buckled both front alloys, but also has bent the front drivers side suspension. The front wheel leans out, all other 3 sit up straight.

Bloody hell. it's going into VW on Monday to get looked at.

Re: Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Oh no I wont be paying, the company will be. But I have offered to sort it. I am the main car buyer 'advisor' for the company.

However as it will be being sold when I'm done with it, obviously we don't want to spend OEM wheel prices + £200 tyres. I'll have a look for some used ones, any good sources?

Newly acquired Scirocco GT needs some love!!!

Due to a change round at work and a car coming back into the company, I now have the use of a 09 plate Scirocco GT TDi 140 in Candy White (with tan leather and DynAudio Sat Nav and 6 disk changer). Lovely car, only got it for 8 weeks but it needs some love before it's sold. Basically the guy who had...
