Re: Crack / Line on Infortainment Screen

I've got the same thing - most noticeable when I use Google Maps on Android Auto! Let us know what the dealer says. Dealer was very good, part on backorder and should be fitted next week - they also advised there is a software update on the infotainment they'll do when it's fixed. While it was in f...

Re: Crack / Line on Infortainment Screen

Thanks for the replies, got it booked in next week so all being well should get fixed. I'll post an update on what happens. As we've got it on lease didn't want it to become a query or problem when it's handed back in 3 years. Also noticed a weird glitch in the driving modes, where it doesn't do the...

Crack / Line on Infortainment Screen

Partner has a 68 plate polo GTi, noticed today the infotainment screen has a line down it which looks awfully like a crack, but only on the inside as it can't be felt.

Has anyone else had this issue before? Concerned when we tell them they'll say it's damage we've caused.

Re: Strange Knocking Noise Polo 6r (2012)

Hi, Thanks for the replies and sorry for the slow response, I've been struggling to sign in all weekend :-) Don't get any noise when turning the steering wheel, just over bumps towards both front wheel arches. Seems quite high up so this may suggest the top mounts. Also good suggestion with the bear...

Strange Knocking Noise Polo 6r (2012)

I'm hoping somebody may have experienced the knocking noise my car has made for a few years on and off and help me source where it's coming from. My car is a VW Polo 6r (2012) 1.4. Since I bought it the back end of 2012 only during wet and mostly cold conditions, the car makes a knocking noise from ...

Re: Powering Dash Cam Query - Polo 6r (2012)

Thanks nisis - good idea with the dual USB charger, is there an empty space behind the plastic cover for the wire to route round to the nearside of the car and up to the top of the windshield?

Powering Dash Cam Query - Polo 6r (2012)

Hi all - I'm thinking of investing in a small dash cam and have a question about the best way to power it! (hoping somebody has already installed one) I've got three options that I've managed to come up with: 1) power via the cigarette lighter - not ideal as it'd leave me without anywhere to charge ...

Re: Car shaking at idle

My Polo (1.4 12 plate) has only done this when I have come back to it after doing a very short journey (e.g. Moving it off the drive/back on again or moving spaces). It then didn't want to start and shook for a few seconds while idling. Never done it after the car has warmed up though... If it is a ...

Re: Poor Polo lowered to the extreme

The police were tipped off that he was driving around with it on the lower setting, so they saw it parked up and waited for him to come back and drive off. On camera it appears he didn't raise it but I don't understand how he could steer! When the lad was stopped he raised it, to make it more weird,...

Poor Polo lowered to the extreme

Saw this polo on Police Interceptors and I can't believe anybody would do this to the car!

Re: RNS510 Compatibility with VW Touch Phone Kit (TPK)

Update: Completely fixed the problem now. I rebooted the RNS510 by using the two arrows and the star key and on the settings put everything to the factory defaults. To my surprise the volume has increased and I no longer need to have everything full. Weird one but thought I would post it in the off ...

Re: RNS510 Compatibility with VW Touch Phone Kit (TPK)

Fixed in a fashion, on the "tone" button, increasing the telephone volume to full had made it so I can hear people on the phone. It is a slight white noise behind as it is on full volume but it works. on While increasing the telephone volume it played music at the maximum level and it coul...

Re: RNS510 Compatibility with VW Touch Phone Kit (TPK)

I'll give it ago with both the RNS and phone volumes on full to see what it is like. I'll try my hardest to get this to work, as you've put me off putting in the VW bluetooth! I'll post up later when I've had a chance to try. Got my fingers crossed...

Re: RNS510 Compatibility with VW Touch Phone Kit (TPK)

Might be something that I'll look into buying but ATM cant afford to splash out on one. Went to use the voice kit today and the TPK man is VERY quiet, even at full volume, it wasn't previously. Nothing wrong with the radio/RNS volume so I'm quite stumped, as i checked all the wires were in. The micr...

Re: RNS510 Compatibility with VW Touch Phone Kit (TPK)

A quick update: Spent ages checking everything was plugged in and couldn't make the it work. After about 30 minutes of trying I gave up and put it back together but astonishingly it started to work again! So there must of been something loose. I've noticed the voice control on the RNS510 still can't...
