OK cheers anyway ;)

Norwich mate.

I've scratched the surrounding fascia to my radio on my b6 estate. This is the silver/grey colour and WAS mint. The scratches have taken the laquer layer as you can feel it with your nail. I'm hoping someone knows of something I can either paint on or polish in to fill the scratches.
Thanks.

Hi all
Another day another issue with my Android head unit install.
I have just fitted one, its a HuiFei 8" model S06 (I believe). I've fitted a reverse cam (Bluetooth version) which works about 80% of the time, the other 20% is 'no signal'. That's by the buy at the moment, it works at least..
My ...

Thanks guys, it seems the issue may well be not having connected the power feed as I said earlier. Ill connect it and see how it goes.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of fitting a replacement aerial?
I have recently installed an 8" Android head unit, got the double header fakra-DIN converter and the reception is dire!
The adaptor has a blue wire from it which I believe is a 12v power input, I ...

OK that's good, I'm going to give that a go. I'm awaiting my DVR dash cam and aerial adaptor so when I have those I'll take it out again. The code for the factory settings is indeed 126 and I can now get to the boot screen manager. To make a boot screen is actually quite a chore and requires a ...

Hey, thanks Skipper that's really helped with a couple of my problems. Just got to order the fakra converter now.
With regard to the 12v feed from the powered aerial cable, is this 12v output constant?
And if it is, will that be ok for the feed to the receiver? I thought the feed to the camera was ...

Hi
I have just purchased my Android head unit which details as an ES9401EU 8" pure android.
The firmware states the model is an S06

Hey Orlinon
I've just found this thread and yesterday ordered the exact same head unit.
Could you give us an up to date review of what you think of it please?
Cheers.

And this head unit 231255240739
This dongle 311003812142
I'll post up how I get on with them.

Thanks for your thoughts chaps, appreciate it.
Well Richard I'll keep you posted because I've bought a wireless number plate camera, it seems the most reversable move to try (no pun). Stay tuned to this thread and Ill tell you how it goes.

Hi
New VW owner here so please bear with me..
Could anyone please point me in the direction of a set of SMD DRL's for my estate that already fit pretty well (I don't mind some modding) and are OK quality?
I'm feeling that they need to be canbus friendly? I would like them to be the type that go off ...

Hi
I'm intending fitting a reverse camera to my B6 estate (PAL) to link to my android head unit.
I'm going round and round in circles on ebay/amazon trying to find a suitable one.
The reason is most show 2 screw holes which mine doesn't have. When I find a clip in type I send the seller a question ...

Thanks for the heads up with that, is that url correct though? I'd really like to take a look.
Cheers.
*Edit, its OK found it now*

Thanks Holophyte
That's a really big help and the official blurb from the VW tech is a very good read.
Many thanks for your comprehensive answer, appreciated.

Hi
I'm anew owner too, came here with pretty much the same question. I have been doing some research and found this one, I reckon it might tick your box too?
I wanted one on Android to integrate with my phone and have plenty of features for the money.
Take a look at ebay.uk item number 231255240739 ...

Hi to all
New Passat owner here (and new forum member). I have searched this but cant find a thread with DPF in it (or am I missing something?) :-s
I have just bought a b6 2010 Estate diesel with a DPF, rightly or wrongly..
I understand that since Feb this year you now can't have it removed on MOT ...

Hi to all
My name's Jason and I'm a first time VW owner and new forum member.

I've been a staunch Vauxhallite for about 20 years now ...
