Starter button
« on: 29 May 2013, 20:27 »
Ive read in a few reviews that the starter button is a standard feature on the gti.
But when looking at the configurator, it seems to be part of keyless entry.
Anybody know for sure as the configurator is pants.

It's not standard mate and it's part of the keyless entry pack, some of the reviewers just take whatever spec they're given to test as standard, piss poor research really. ::)

I used to think this and then I watched the video on the keyless system from the Canadian dealer that someone posted on here.  350 quid later...  :grin:
