Re: Got Double din??? INFO

The parts do sometimes come up on eBay, I bought mine from VW, they are not that expensive but there is a huge amount of time involved.

Re: advice on a mobile phone upgrade please

That Nokia is a good phone, or maybe look at a Blackberry with a qwerty if you text a lot.

Re: Bury phone kit

Two things, the VW kits are not directly compatible with aftermarket Bury kits. Also the Bury 6300 cradle is available in bluetooth and non bluetooth versions, it uses the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone for audio, make sure you have pushed the phone firmly into the cradle so you get the h...

Re: Car phone cradle adapters

The only way is to find someone who knows what they are doing and can rewire a THB Uni8 kit into the original wiring, I have done it once but its been a while. You can then fit whatever cradle you need.

Re: Parrot CK3100 in a B6

Yeah same as the golf. You can do it without the sot which saves hiding loads of wires, and also allows phone volume to be adjusted on the stereo.

Assuming the battery is ok, and the remote is actually transmitting I think you'll need a vagcom to program it back in

Re: Got Double din??? INFO

Check availability of the changer for your head unit before you buy the head unit, most companies stopped making them when iPods become as popular as they are.

Re: Question about B6 models

That's a shame if they are very different. Is there a constant split (70/30 60/40) or is it totally FWD till traction is lost, I presume all this also applies to the R36. I've also read that the DSG box doesn't hold the car like a conventional auto does, I guess this is the reason for Auto hold, is ...

Re: Question about B6 models

I knew the 3.2 is 4WD, but as much as I hate to do it I was thinking of something a bit more economical. With V-Power now around 116-125p/l and a fortnightly trip to Scotland it's getting expensive.

I've been thinking about getting a B6, I have a few essentials the car must have, but one thing that I'd really miss about my B5 is the 4WD, google searches show 2.0tdi 4 motion but I'm thinking this was a euro option that wasn't available in the UK, can anyone confirm this?
