Re: Factory Radio keeps turning off

Personally I'd ignore the fact that it does not stay on long enough - and just get on with trying to carry out a "reset" as advised, nothing to lose. Edit:- I would hope that if the "reset" does not work, at least there will be fault codes stored in its memory - it does have tha...

So I'm pretty sure it needs replacing and looking online the replacement for the unit in the glove box is like £130 upwards and I would still need a VW coder to program the Bluetooth back in wh...

Re: Factory Radio keeps turning off

It is not the onset of colder weather that has caused this? Round about the time these cars were launched, there was some issues with cold weather performance of the infotainment system, maybe resolved by a S/W update, I can't say, my wife's car bought new by her in August 2015, a factory order so ...

I am just arranging a set for the 6C. No connection other than as a satisfied customer. Thanks buddy just been on their website but n...

Re: Canbus Error Free LEDs

Wouldn't it just be better to have the lamp monitoring switched off instead and then use whatever LED lamp you choose? Those decoders just seem to be resistor packs to fool the monitor. You'll never get a warning that a lamp is out with them in place, or that's how a see them working. Can I turn of...

Re: Retrofitting App Connect near impossible

I guess I'm going to go with an aftermarket stereo and try to find 1 that looks OEM. This is the reply I got from hazzydayz after asking if I supplied a unit could they remove the component protection and reinstall app connect. "Hi Antony, Sorry we get lots of technical inquiries. Just checkin...
