Re: AppConnect USB socket information for Apple Carplay
Getting back to this, I had AppConnect activated mid-April the official way but forgot to conclude this topic. I used obdeleven vag with pro subscription for the coding. Here is a recap of what worked for me + some troubleshooting tips, hope this helps: 1. Check if your MIB is compatible with AppCon...

Re: AppConnect USB socket information for Apple Carplay
I managed to order a new "6C0035249B" socket (green, HSD 4 pin + 2 pins on the side), just based on the pictures from the item listing, did not check with the seller. Since the 2 extra pins supply 5V power to the USB port, and I currently do have those 2 pins, it made sense to order the sa...

AppConnect USB socket information for Apple Carplay
Hi everyone, after (unfortunately) being quoted around 300-350€ for AppConnect activation (via dealer), I wanted to take a look at the USB socket that also likely needed changing to be compatible with Carplay (Apple), because only one of the dealers I asked confirmed that this will need changing too...

Re: Modification of 6C radiator grille for more airflow
I sense a bit of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” here but I’m open to experiments, especially if it would mean swapping one oem part for another.

Modification of 6C radiator grille for more airflow
Hi folks, I recently got an ECU tune for my 90hp 1.2 TSI 6C and I'm pretty happy with the increase in performance especially given the small 1.2 engine. To complement the tune, I was looking around for some aftermarket intake solutions - that may be a topic on its own, but I dropped the idea of comb...

Re: Switching from flexible to fixed service and oil advice
Thanks for your insights guys. I can say that from my perspective and perhaps something we can all agree on, changing oil regularly (which goes hand in hand in looking after the car) and using a proper spec has more weight than going from one brand to another and another, of course assuming one's us...

Switching from flexible to fixed service and oil advice
I'm pondering the idea o switching from flexible oil service schedule to the fixed one as I think I fit the "fixed" category better (shorter trips 3-4 times a week, plus a few longer trips 1-2 times a month, and I like "sportier" driving and not sparing the accelerator every once...

Automatic boot opening/pop-up on 6C
Hi everyone, I had a bit of free time recently to tinker with automatic boot (hatch/tailgate/trunk) opening on my 6C (European 2017 model). I wanted to share my findings to hopefully help others since there is not a lot if information around, if there is, it is for 6R/pre-facelift. I also did not wa...

Short throw shifter for 5-speed Polo 6c
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice related to short throw shifters for 6R/6C Polos with a 5-speed manual gearbox (and 1.2 TSI engines with code CJxx if that changes things). As far as my research went, the 6-speed is MQ 200-6 and the 5-speed uses the MQ 200-5. While was able to find some short...
