Re: 6C Sat Nav

We have a booster fitted, and it works very well. Kenwood would only supply it to a dealer so we got it via a warranty claim. This is the email we received from enquiries@uk.jvckenwood.com: Unfortunately this is not a part that can be purchased. We supply this part, on an ad-hoc basis, to VW dealer...

Re: 6C Sat Nav

So, my polo 6C came with the kenwood sat-nav. It's OK and nothing special. I would definitely not have paid £600 to have it added. They just stuffed the two units behind the carpet under the glove box :roll: The problem is I get no traffic info. The signal is always zero. The tmc arial cable is plug...

factory fitted tyres

About to pick up a 12month old 6C Edition Match with just over 5000 on the clock. 2017 plate. Full HPI check passed with one owner. All good. But I noticed it has Hankook kinergy Eco tyres all round and very good condition. It's been a while since I changed the Polo but I thought VW factory fitted t...

Re: VCDS vag com programming

So if i just bought a stalk set with cruise control and all the blob to go with it and trip computer.. would it be simple to programme it in? Yes it would be easy to program - one tick and its done. But doing a cruise retrofit is not so easy. You need to be contortionist to be able to get half doze...

Thanks. I agree 310 is a better buy vs 510 (comparing the price difference).

Re: foglights wiring

Thought I'd raise this forgotten topic :) Just bought a used dash switch 6R0 941 531 J and swapped it with the one that was already installed (6R0 941 531 H). Just the switch ...I have not installed any front fogs or any wiring.....yet. No drama, no smoke, and no tears. All lights work as before. Re...

Re: Install Reverse Camera

How to get the power from the reverse light cable (what color is this reverse light cable).? The reversing light bulb light should be Black/Blue (i.e. Black with a thin blue stripe). The earth is the brown wire. There are two earthing points in the rear luggage area - on the right I believe. You wi...
