Re: Scirocco R folding mirrors

Alex can code these, based in Redditch (he fitted my bluetooth module and fixed my cruise control as well)

Re: Cruise control stopped working

I've got a scanner, so will give that a go. I'm miles away from Awesome (was fitted before I bought the car) but have known Jim Cotton for 20 odd years so will ask him on facebook as well. Failing that, it's off to the local VAG specialists - was just wondering if it'd happened to anyone on here bef...

Re: Cruise control stopped working

Double check you've actually switched it on. Does the cruise symbol replace the odometer display when you switch it on? Nope, nothing at all - I thought maybe it was a temporary glitch (I work in IT, turning it off and back on again usually works!) but it's been off for 2 days now and still not wor...

Cruise control stopped working

Was fitted aftermarket at Awesome, was working fine last week as well and nothing has been done to the car inbetween.

I've never had a car with CC before, so don't even know where to begin to look.

Any ideas appreciated folks ......

Re: No power to Media in or Aux PLUS a few questions?

I popped into the VW dealership/service center in portsmouth yesterday to see if the could help me sort out this issue, They said that ill need to book it in for a check up costing £180 (WTF) sureley this has to be a simple fix? I do have a dash mounted handsfree device fitted (came with the car) w...

Re: RNS510 Update

Also, let's know all the details of your unit when you get it. If you can provide all details like the first post, even better. I have some text about versions I saved from vwnavi that could help. Right, I've got the model - 1T0 035 680 C, HW H50, SW 2840 (I've got V13 maps, but got the DVD for tha...

Re: RNS510 Update

It's definitely an early version of the firmware as 'version info' doesn't appear if I press and hold setup for 10 seconds or more.. Going from the paulroberts link it seems the only way is to take the RNS510 out and check the model number, which I'll probably do on Saturday. Didn't know that about ...

Re: RNS510 Update

I've read all the links above, as well as others - my fear comes from the comments on them, loads of people saying various bits no longer work from the steering wheel - I've just shelled out £190 for OEM bluetooth that I know requires a VAGCOM change, so I don't want to lose that etc - I'm pretty br...

Re: RNS510 Update

I've been reading up on this as well, it does seem a minefield - I think I'm going to plump with having it done here http://hazzydayz.com/genuine-vw-rns-510-sat-nav-repair-and-services-1390-p.asp on the basis that, if they balls it up, they can roll it back again (that's my fear).

Re: Stage 1 Re-Map & DSG Tune

It would be well worth travelling to R-tech , certainly over Revo. If you wanted to go with something more local then look at APR. Not had my Rocco done at R-Tech as it was already done - but they did my MkIV 1.8T Golf brilliantly, so they're my first choice also (and where I'll be taking it to whe...
