I have an Xperia Arc also, I have not had any trouble with mine.
I have a B7 sport and it just recognised the device and the phonebook was available so the car and that phone are definitely compatible.

Hi rphopkins I am not sure that is quite right, I picked up my Sport in July and the tyre pressure monitoring wasn't working. They then took it into the workshop and made so changes to the settings and now it is all present and correct. They initially thought it was a firmware change but it turned o...

Nice looking car drew baby. I am waiting for mine to arrive, 4 weeks and counting How do you find the ride in the Sport? We went for the Sport because we loved the seats but we did not get to drive one as the demo was an SE. A bit of a risk with the IOW roads but I am sure it is not as firm as a typ...

Thanks guys It is always great to hear from people who actually own the cars and can give their personal experience. I have cancelled my original order as there did not seem to be any chance of getting the order confirmed and looking at the screen it seemed that there were even more shortages. While...

I know it is early days but what is your opinion of the 2.0TDI compared with the 1.6TDI?
I may be able to get a 1.6 sooner but like the idea of the greater flexibility of the 2.0 version.
Cheers

Hi stuk100
I was just considering cancelling my order but after seeing yours I might have to change my mind.
It looks fantastic
Congratulations

Hi Timon2210 Yes I am sticking with the standard wheels on the sport they do look better in the metal than they do in the pictures, well I think they do anyway. 4 weeks since I ordered the car and still no confirmation date so no build date. VW seem to be running out of a few things now, rear view c...

Hi stuk100 I have tried to find a local dealer with a 1.6TDI demonstrator but no luck yet most have 2.0TDIs and that is a very nice engine. We have decided to stay with the 2.0TDI order as it is very flexible and has a lot more push than my 1.6 golf. I have been told it is a 12 week wait once the or...

Hi Stuk100 I look forward to seeing the pics. One question how are you finding the 1.6, I only ask because I have been told they can get a 1.6TDI much quicker and the missus is pushing me in that direction so we can get the car sooner, but I have not been able to drive one with this engine in it. I ...

Hi everyone, I have just ordered my new B7. A 2.0TDi Sport in Midnight Blue. Options - Park Assist, Electric folding mirrors and Bi-Xenons I am still waiting for the confirmed lead time but it is looking like 20 weeks. According to VW there is a shortage of 2.0TDi engines and DAB radios, oh well I a...

Thanks stuk100
I do like that Iron Grey it seems to have a lot of depth to it.

If the car is a factory order I will go for that

Cheers

Hi everybody It is nice to find a few more people looking at buying a new version Passat or lucky enough to own one. I am going to have another chat with the salesman tomorrow so hopefully we can get the leadtime closer than 20 weeks either by changing to the 1.6TDI or switching to an SE with a few ...

Hi JOHNTYWYN The 1.6TDi is the same engine I have in my Golf how does it handle the extra weight of the Passat? We wanted to buy a 2.0TDi put we were quoted a 20 week leadtime so we are now looking at other engines. I want the Bluemotion technology so I am intrigued to see if the 1.6 will suit our n...

Hi everybody I have just joined the forum and just wanted to say hello We are currently negotiating to replace our Golf with a Passat as we need more boot space. Due mainly because my partner likes the seats better we have settled on a Sport model (and she says I have expensive taste) We wanted to g...
