A few more from memory :-

 - Check all interior car mats are present and they they are the proper GTi ones.

 - Check the VIN number (in the windscreen) matches the VIN number on all your documents.  Its easy to   get letters transposed (and harder to fix weeks later).

The VW salesman will probably give you a customer satisfaction survey before you leave with your pride and joy.  He will be desperate for a high score  :grin:   That is the time to ask for a few final touches  - a full tank of fuel,  some top up oil & windscreen washer etc.   :wink:

Remember, if you don't like dealer stickers in your rear window ask them to leave them off! That's on my checklist  :wink:

I asked the dealer not to put a dealersip sticker in the back window and give me Euro/GB plates - handy if you like to pop to the continent on occasion.

No proper GTI mats fitted to the MK7, so don't worry when you inevitably don't get them. Customer satisfaction has come for me about 2 weeks after car pick-up on my last 2 new VWs, VW UK independently phoned me. Haven't heard from them prior to my holiday this time around. They'll try a few times then email me for my survey responses.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

ahh never thought about that, don't know why they put them in anyways considering the rear window is tinted and you can barley see it!

As far as im aware the standard unit will just come with an ipod cable unless you ask for something else

Cheers redpath. Presumably to connect an iphone 5 i would need the lightning adapter and for further media control i would need the 'red' cable as covered in a separate thread?

Also what about charging my iphone. Does this accessory come as standard?
