Re: Retrofitting parking sensors that link to the infotainment system

I took another look and thought I'd seen something cheaper.. with them when i looked

It is OPS but.. perhaps uses their own system but with the existing display (and look the same as mine..)

Re: Fuel consumption

Exactly. Annoys when driving on a nice A road and all the cars are bunched up a few metres behind each other constantly braking and re-accelerating, while i leave a nice distance so i can anticipate and not need to brake. .. and hope no idiot thinks he can squeeze in that space and gain a single sp...

Re: cheap bling for key fob

the GTi version looks fatter all round unless your phone's camera lens was closer to the right hand fob?

Re: Retrofitting parking sensors that link to the infotainment system

I fitted the beep type myself to an old Polo with no canbus errors (probably too old to have any effect.. They worked great but had an lcd display showing proximity so I turned of the beep.. they were accurate. When changing to a modern Polo (AW) i was looking for a model in my budget with Parking s...

Re: cheap bling for key fob

if you have an entry level Polo like i have.. everything can be blinged up .. I'm sure de-blinged is a word.. if not it will be in next year's Oxford dictionary as most used newcomer.. :) I haven't measured the depth of the chromed version to know if this bling makes the original key of different di...

Re: Fuel consumption

most likely! many of the so-called performance and economy figures are massaged.. take the so-called urban cycle... (which stands for Un Reachable Bluff And Nonsense) have been found to be highly optimised right down to optimum fuels, tyres and pressures, payload and terrain etc etc. no typical to m...

cheap bling for key fob

whilst aimlessly surfing the net I came across some seller offering chromed parts for VW key fobs and also replacement keypads I bought a couple of sets.. they do the bling long edge of the fobs too.. but I didn't go that far. Screenshot 2024-01-20 123308.png you only have to take the battery cover ...

Re: USB-C Added

I rarely have rear passengers for any decent length of time to warrant doing that..i have a 4 way multi USB connector with voltage read out in the front accessory socket which does me.

I'd really like the console though.. That would be useful... but not looked into doing anything with that idea..

Re: Fuel consumption

don't understand the coasting bit.. could you elaborate on that please? ECO mode does something I'm not aware of obviously :) Anyone? When you're in ECO mode and you come off the throttle, the car disengages the engine from the wheels and allows the car to coast freely without engine braking* slowi...

Re: Fuel consumption

I'm not denying anything that's said about ECO mode... I understand the slower foot pedal response ok..

but don't understand the coasting bit.. could you elaborate on that please? ECO mode does something I'm not aware of obviously :)

Anyone?
