Re: App connect

My car was registered in mid 2015 but sat in a showroom until a few weeks ago. Apparently I need an upgrade of some kind before they can install App-Connect onto my infotainment system. The odd thing is, I can see the option in the menu. I can see the app-connect logo pre install if that makes sense...

Re: App connect

Cool Technane! I'll dig around as well. The port in my R is indeed a plain old USB 2 port so no need for an MDI as you say! I cant imagine why VW would have gone for a data only model for Android......but.....yeah, worth looking into. Yeah, i had a look at that review. Most of what they demo is of n...

Re: App connect

This is part of the probelm! No one at VW has a clue how it works or what I need to connect. The VW video's I watched suggested either a usb or MDI connection. I think/hope it only uses data if you want (for whatever mad reason) use your own satnav or download songs etc. I only really want to contro...

Re: Facelift R Roof bars

Hello!

I may need to resort to putting this system back on my new car an dwas wondering if you had removed the door seals to allow you to get the position exact? I had problems getting the seals to sit perfectly after installing the bars. TIA!

Re: App connect

Hi, I've just been quoted £215.00 and about an hours installation. I am sure they are taking the piss and hoping to get an hours service cost in for nothing. My understanding is they are going to enter a code which they buy from parts. How can it take an hour to install a code? I am going to ask for...

Re: Facelift R Roof bars

I just took my pre alpina bars off my old scirocco and they have left one 5mm rust spot on one side and scratched the hell out of the other. This is just over the drivers door. Also, both keys broke off in the locks as they appear to be made from lead foil. Mine where on for nearly 3 years will occa...

New R :)

Picking up my new R in rising blue today! Happy days. Got a question re tow bars though. VW could not answer this and I've had alternate views from different sources! Can an R (2015 model registered in 2016) take a tow bar? I've just taken the pre alpina bars off my old kermit and there is a nasty r...

Tint peeling off side window :o

Hi all, Has anyone else encountered this??? It seems the tint on the passenger and driver side front windows is achieved using a fine film and I noticed yesterday one of mine is stating to peel from the lower part of the windows. I'm asuming there is something inside the door/window mechanism that h...

Re: Scirocco r drl stopped working

Hi Weeman

Recently one of my DRL leds was in the process of failing. It would go off but restarting the engine would bring it back on for a while then it would fail again. Probably a similar issue.... New led needed.

Re: Hesitation / Misfire at Low Revs

Hi,

Have a look at my (norco) posts. Hopefully there will be something in them that will be helpful. Mine is only really a problem until the engine reaches operating temp. Tried changing fuel but the problem is still there albeit less pronounced.

Ok thanks for that Bob. I'll get it booked in with an independant and see what they come up with.
