Re: Double din help

Yes... it has a slot for Gps.. apparently you download maps from Google play store... but it needs to be on a micro SD. I may just mirror my phone when I get a suitable lead.. :???:

If were talking the B5.5 the "sport" is about 15mm lower and barely different shocks, if at all, and the AVF version engine if its Diesel, which is almost identical to the AWX but a different torque map and slightly bigger clutch and 6 speed gearbox. That is about it lol. Its the right on...

Once you put them right, they stay right within reason, shame VW put the flaws into the design that they did, but all are correctable. It was a great design, especially the front suspension, but that said a full front arm replacement is a significant task as a result, and some alignment techs just ...
