Re: Car-Net Connection Problem
As far as I know it only works via a lightning to USB cable. That's how I have it working. I don't think there are any vehicles on the market yet that support "Wireless CarPlay".

Re: Bike rack
I have the Saris Bones 2 for 2 bikes. Work perfectly fine on the Scirocco.
There are also 1 and 3 bike options.
Google Saris Bones and Scirocco images to get the idea.

Re: Rear cam field of view
Yes, I can see the very edge of the number plate and the bumper. I had one on my Golf that popped out of the VW logo/boot handle. That one had a higher view and didn't show the number plate and just the thinnest strip of bumper. I was surprised when I got the Scirocco that the view was so different,...

Has anyone changed indicator bulbs to LED?
Is it worth doing?
I have a 2015 facelift GT with the Xenon and LED headlights – wondering if changing the indicator bulb to LED will make any difference to the look.
Do they flash on and off sharply – rather than the slight fade you get with regular halogen bulbs? Would they be any brighter?
Cheers

Re: Aztec Gold - R
Love the chrome wing mirrors. Have thought about getting them for mine, but not sure if you'll notice them much with Reflex Silver?

Re: 2016 model year daytime running lights
The ones in the main headlights are LED daytime lights, which are part of the Xenon option (see mine below). The only model they come standard on is the R. You need to spec them as optional extras on all other models. If you look closely, the small inner lights also light up as well as the outer 'ey...

Re: Ceramique interior
It doesn't affect the rear seats at all as it doesn't go back that far. It does add slightly more headroom to the front seats though (if you keep the sliding shade open). It's only a pop-up roof (doesn't slide back at all), but adds the extra light and view out the top, plus it looks good on the out...

I haven't seen it in the flesh. You can see it quite well in this review though. Looks pretty smart to me.

Re: Voice control + App connect
Thanks for the info. I've just rang my dealer as my car is due in any day now (tracker says it has arrived). Unfortunately my main contact is away for 3 weeks (I'm waiting for September to pick the car up). The guy I've just spoken to is going to get back to me if when my car turns up and he can hav...

Re: Voice control + App connect
The unit you have is the current MIB 2. This has since been pulled from the Scirocco. Some cars through May and June had these fitted but in mid June they reverted back to the RNS systems.

Look at these brand new Roccos waiting to board ship!
These photos were taken in Setubal Port and Autoeuropa a week ago today (Tuesday June 30th 2015) according to the caption. These could be some of the forum members' cars that went to stage 5 early last week! I got my stage 5 on Thursday so probably not reached the dock at this point. Page link: http...

Keep us informed of your findings.
I've specced Dynaudio so am wondering whether to expect the box in the boot!

Re: What's that box in the boot?
Don't flame me if I'm wrong, but I think it's for Dynaudio?
I'm not 100% sure, but my hunch is it's for the tools that would normally stored in the spare wheel – if you spec Dynaudio the sub-woofer is inside the spare wheel, meaning the tools need to be stored somewhere else?

Re: SICROCCO
The VW Phaeton logo is centred. I only know because one drove past me last night and I noticed. Looks classy...
...but not sure on the Scirocco - it's a bit too close to the logo.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Hi, that seems very quick I ordered mine on the 18 Apr and had a build week of 15 June, cars now somewhere in transit. Your best bet is ring VW customer service with your order number. I was also tempted to wait until September but I decided against it, registration changes are not like they used t...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
So... I placed my order on June 1st. Signed up to the tracker and two weeks later was given a build week of 29 (13th July). This morning I get an email update saying it's now jumped from stage 3 to stage 5 – BUILT awaiting transit! Does this seem very likely, or is it possibly a glitch with the trac...
