is that for all models?

any other differences that you have noticed?

thanks, the sd card is likely the way forward, Cd's are old (but TBH probably the best quality i can supply to the audio system), the aux wont be used (never got it working in my current passat, but no big loss) and the ipod, i may have to see as the better half likes to bring them on long holiday t...

the GT has a full size spare as standard, as i tow and do the motorway miles for work was important and also included the dynaudio. I have not listened to the original setup and reviews of the dynaudio are not that common, but looking at the different speakers (and the front is a 3 way so should hav...

Think of it as a halfway house between the standard audio system and dynaudio. It is a dealer fit subwoofer/amp/dsp that replaces your spare wheel and plugs into the original audio wiring loom. It looks like it should be able to fit in a spare if there was one fitted, but an elegant solution to get...

Quick one all, i have ordered a GT estate which has the standard discover head unit (also upgraded to the dynaudio setup, but doubt this makes any difference), but the manual states : USB, AUX-IN, SD (2x) (Aux and USB require optional connection cable) my current passat (B6) has some plug that you p...

believe the postcode is entered where the 'address' goes, give it a go, not sure if you need the space though in the middle (ie L1 1JD or L11JD), sort of undocumented feature

may look into that, cheapness is good. I have a foot pack/fitting for a mondeo (an old Company car), and the bars are 762 The passat is 761, 15 cm shorter. but can probably cut 15cm off the bars without any major problems (they are the standard square type), so that would save £40 straight off, the...

hi all, need new roofbars as the 2015 estate has integrated ones so my existing wont fit. They are used for carrying 2 cycles on thule 591's, so light usage and i generally remove as they are noisy at speed. as the car is new out, any suggestions on the best ones and also if there are any good 'chea...

Looking at the next company car and i have the option for the 150 or 190, looking at the GT spec specifically and estate form (for towing). However there is a difference in cost (obviously), but wondering if it really is worth the extra money to go for the higher power engine or if the 150 is good e...

i have the Aero 2, they fit great, just a shame the car mirror vibrates now

i have a 32Gb one, £10 from 7 day shop.

Not the most reliable for writing onto (I had to copy small amounts a number of times) but works fine in the car.

called into the dealers and the part is available and is around £7.50 + vat.

WIll post the part number (if i get it), and still surprised i couldnt find anything online tbh!

Hi All, lurker here... I have a 2012 estate and one of the clips on the boot cover that slide along the edge runners has broken off. I have hot glued it, but it is only a matter of time before it falls off again, and it needs it to keep the cover tight. Now i can get a new full unit from ebay for £...

Thanks, i ended up going with MDS towbars. Fitted at home (luckily a dry day), standard Flange type, twin electrics and dedicated wiring and the ECU encoding for the stability/sensors (the reverse picture shows a trailer when one is plugged in :) ) this was £370 fitted. the towbar fitted is 2006+ P...

Hi all, long time listener, first time poster :) picking up my 2012 2.0 Se estate in a couple of weeks, and am looking for a towbar fitter in the North west (for a caravan so twin electrics). anyhow prices range from £250 for a bypass kit through to £650 for a VW supplied equipment, fitted by a 3r...
