Hi everyone
First post here so firstly...hello everyone! Currently in the process of purchasing a 6c Polo GTi and I'm looking at a couple of add-ons (OK OK...so it's officially my g/f's car but if I drive it enough I think I should be able to claim squatters rights )
So the first thing I'm looking at is cruise control. I thought this would be relatively straightforward (I have a Skoda Octavia and can be fitted on there no prob) but from looking around online and on here, it seems to be a bit of an uncertain area. Has anyone retrofitted cruise control to a 6c GTi? And if so, was it the stalk or the steering wheel version? I'm guessing stalk is going to be easier but I was having a poke around online and found this: https://www.ebay.at/itm/Original-VW-Tem ... 1147364638. I know it says "not for GTi" (thanks Google Translate!) but presumably that's simply because the steering wheel trim it comes with isn't for the flat-bottomed GTi wheel...and presumably the button clusters could be put into a GTi steering wheel? Or am I being hopelessly optimistic? (It has been known! )
The second thing I'm looking at is getting sat nav for the head unit (have to be honest, I was a bit surprised/disappointed that cruise control and nav weren't standard! But I guess it keeps the cost down for those who don't rate them). As the days of the RNS510-style "just swap the head unit for a new one" seem to be gone, it looks like the only option for getting nav on the head unit is the official VW-endorsed Kenwood add-on (ZGB5G0051259) that gives Garmin nav on the head unit. Not a cheap option but I'd rather have integrated than a separate unit dangling around on a suction cup with wires trailing all over the place. Has anyone had fitted this? Did you DIY it or get dealer to fit for you?
Think that's all for now If anyone has any pointers, I'd be v grateful...
Thanks!
New Polo owner - need pointers on cruise control and nav...
