Steering wheel minus telephone
« on: 16 July 2009, 07:15 »
Every pic I've seen of the golf gti's steering wheel has got the telephone buttons on the left hand side.

Seeing as I haven't opted for the bluetooth prep, what will be on the steering wheel instead? Will they just be duff buttons? Or worse still will they be blanked off? Best option is that they are replaced by some buttons that work!

Can anyone help pls?

Also will I still get a shark fin aerial on the roof? I don't want a regular one.

No mate, no sharkfin, no visible aerial anywhere.  Could be built into the rear window like some others.

I thought the shark fin came with the satnav option.

I haven't got mine yet, so I can't comment, but I've seen quite a few pix of the sharkfin.

I think the shark fin is standard.  The demo car I took out had a shark fin but no sat nav

Just had a quick look through my nerdy collection of GTI pix that I've collected and it seems to be about 50-50 for the sharkfin. I can't really tell whether it equates to the satnav option or not. Odd.

From what I've seen the shark fin is used with factory phone prep and/or sat options. Standard and RCD510 radios use an aerial in the rear window - unless they've changed things.
