Thanks for the extra info Dellboy I'll try that.

It's probably my fault

Hi guys and gals, I followed the link given by Dellboy. To download it, I had to subsribe to a Trial run of MediaFeed at $4.95. It didn't actually download. However, an important thing to notice in the Terms and Conditions is that if you don't cancel your subscrition during the Trial period of 7 day...

Thanks for the link Dell boy.

I'm not very good with these download things. But looks promising. I presume I would just add this to the SD card when I can figure out how to download these torrents.

I know that this may sound a silly question to some of you experts but does anyone know if it is possible to add Speed Camera Database to the RNS310 Sat Nav system which is installed in my 2010 Passat CC (170) 5 seat? The system normally runs from a CD disc which I have copied on to an SD card and f...

Giffer2 - Thank you for your reassurance re black car - most cars get that whitish look in Winter.

Hope you're enjoying your CC.

See you're in South Wales - I went to University in Cardiff 1959 - 1962. Lovely City and friendly people.

Thanks guys for all those responses and for all your congratulations, advice and good wishes. The advice on the Ebrake has more or less set my mind at rest and valuable advice also on the GAP Insurance and the Service Contract. You have all helped to make me feel good about getting the car and I am ...

Like ste18t I am from Walsall and will be picking up my first VW - a Passat CC - next Tuesday.

Seems to be lots of useful information for us newbies

Yaz - good luck with your Audi 100 Sorry I can't help with that at all. And thank you for your kind reassuring comments.

Thank you for your comments Yaz. You are right about comparing Forums and I apologise if anyone was offended by my knee jerk reaction comments. The Passat CCis still a fairly rare vehicle on the roads and so comments and advice will naturally be thinner on the ground. I feel sure that the objective ...

Thanks for your kind remarks Sn@il and your congrats and experiences are much appreciated. I tend to agree with you about the GAP insurance and the Service Contract. As for the Ebrake only time will tell. I had no problems using it in conjunction with AutoHold on the test drive so I'm looking on the...

Hi Yaz, Congratulations on your purchase. Sounds like a nice car. I am new to VW myself having had six mercs prior to getting a Passat CC on 1st. March which will be my first VW - hope it's not my last. Enjoy your car - I hope it gives you many trouble free years of motoring. Doubt if you'll get muc...

Hi all, Just had to tell someone about what to me is so exciting. Yesterday, I traded in my 3 year Old Mercedes C Class for a 6 month old (60 plate) Black Passat CC 2.0 TDi (170) GT DSG. with all the toys - Leather with memory and heated sports seats, Sat Nav, Folding Mirrors, Bluetooth phone connec...

Thanks to those who have helped with their advice and knowledge. I think that I ought to let you know that I didn't buy the car after all. Something seemed not quite right (not with the dealer but in my own mind) and I have learned in life that if you have any second thoughts about a deal like this ...

Thanks for that idea potshot -

I've already tried to get the parking sensors but they won't play.

cooleronthecoast and chrisR - thank you for your helpful replies. The deal will cost me approx £7900 but the dealer has thrown in GAP insurance and it also includes putting my private plate on retention. For that I should have three years with no bills other than servicing which could be covered wi...

Hi all, I am a real newbie having only registered a few minutes ago. I have been lurking in the forums for a couple of weeks and note the friendly and knowledgeable advice so freely given by the members. My dilemma is that I am about to ditch my C Class Mercedes in favour of a hopefully more economi...
