In dash 6 disc changer.

I have just bought the in dash 6 disc changer for my 2001 b5.5. In the how to section there is a how to of single to double don conversion, would these be the correct steps to take or is it a lot simpler to do?

Would I also need to buy any extras apart from the CD player?

Thanks in advance

Re: 2.5 v6 tdi b5.5

I have had one for about 4 years now with quite extensive mods including hybrid turbo and straight through exhaust, the car is faultless and I love it [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Re: Indicators

Thanks for all the replies, I am putting it down to the number plate bulb being dodgey, bulbs is kinda flickering so think it's that.

Indicators

I have noticed this morning that when I indicate right the indicator blinks very quickly? I obviously can't turn left all the time [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Has anyone heard of this and how do I fix it?

Re: Tyres advice...

A rim protector on a tyre is where the side wall of the tyre is supposed to protect the alloys if you catch a curb.

Re: 2.5 V6 advice

I have had one now for 3 years, it is currently in quite a high state on tuning however I still get 46mpg on a good run (according to the trip computer) love it, sounds awesome, and only changed tyres (front) twice, had the full hunter alignment done.

Re: remap or tuning box?

I got my egr mapped out in my stage 2/3 map from promap tuning, very good IMO. Then I just blocked the vacuum hose and put a blanking plate in as well.
