hello peeps...not been on here for about 12 months!
anyway, traded the e55 against one of these 'clearance' R32.
uk car in black, 3 dr, 09 plate..heated leather, cruise, dsg, rns 510, cruise, park sensors etc...
got a whopping discount and am looking forward to having a tinker.
picking it up saturday so will have plenty of questions i would imagine.
here's my first one.
i want to run my phone throught the nav, and my ipod, and apparently i get can full ipod control through the unit..i.e artist, album, track etc etc....
what lead do i need to run from the unit, do i need a software install, and where/how much is it?
thanks in advance chaps
Jt :evil:

Welcome back to the VW fold JT :cool:
Sounds a really good spec that too.
I'm sure a few who have done these mods will be along soon for you :smiley:
-
hello mate!
lets hope so...need some coilovers, a milltek, a remap, and some of these silver dial rings i gave you.
thats for starters...
then perhaps we should look at the induction side of things :laugh:
-
What made you trade the Merc monster?
-
ooooh welcome back JT!!! :grin:
Think Vrstu (??) is the person to speak to about using your phone through your nav. Great combo when used with the RNS510 and highline :cool:
-
Get yourself registered on the R32oc.com fella.. jbs and awesomegti seem to be in pricewars with cheap milltek exhausts at the moment with free fitting.. you could bag yourself a bargain :cool:
-
What made you trade the Merc monster?
done 63k, doing 15 to the gallon, needed taxing, two rears and a warranty extension...( about 2k to sort all of that)
add they gave me a great px price and then knocked 6500 off the price of the r32.
the deal was just daft!
cant wait.

Cruise twice? Nice, you must be excited :grin:
Congrats on the purchase, very nice motor :smiley:

Sounds great - best colour and good spec too :wink:
Agree with R32, PM Stu and he can fix you up with a OEM phone unit - it can be coded to work through a MFSW as well.
I have the MFD2 Sat Nav so cannot advise on the iPod in the RNS510. Mine works using the MFSW buttons (and Highline Computer readout) but you don't get artist/album or track info :sad:
Check out VWNavi.com for more info. Link here: http://vwnavi.com/forums/
Enjoy :cool:

Congrats mate.........PICS when you have them please :smiley:
-
Congrats, sounds like you got a sweet deal there!
I think the MMI system works on the RNS510, its worth checking with the dealer to see if it can be done. If so, you get full iPod control, and you see the track IDs. I really want this in my MK5!

What you need is what I just installed about 2 weeks ago.
You need:
1 - VW MDI kit
2 - Fiscon Pro Bluetooth kit (Also known as Fiscon Basic Plus)
Look on ebay for good prices esp from sellers in Germany. The kits are both very easy to fit, plug and play. They are both brilliant and I can completely recommend them. The MDI kit allows full touch screen control of your ipod. The Fiscon allows full touch screen integration of your phonebook and all phone functions. If you have the highline computer (which i dont :undecided:) you can also access your text messages from there. Any questions on either of the kits just let me know.
If your R32 is already coded for a phone then the Fiscon will work immediatley. If not you will need VCDS/VagCom coding for it to work correctly. Its all in the manual and very easy to do. If you dont have someone near you with VCDS/VagCom your dealer can easily enable the phone feature on VCDS.
-
Sounds like you got yourself a great deal there, I've been tempted to try and get hold of a nearly new R32. Might give a few dealers a call to see what they can do for me.
Look forward to some pictures!
-
Congrats mate! :laugh:

Bet you cant wait till Saturday mate cars sounds :cool:

At Brands on Wednesday last week an R32 floored it on the way out and the wind just carried it, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It sounds awesome !

I know what you mean. I was at a petrol station a couple of days ago and a DSG R32 gave it the beans out the access road...oh my god :drool: If I wasn't saving for my wedding next year I'd have been down to the stealers like a shot. Suddenly the fuel bills and tax make sense. I want :cry:

I sometimes wish I didnt have to drive mine.. but had to follow it around (strange I know)... but just hearing from outside rather than inside makes a big difference :grin:

I have that. I made my girlfriend floor it away to hear it the other day :laugh: (she is insured by the way)
Cant wait for the summer so i can drive around with all the windows down (and hopefully have saved for a non-res miltek :evil:)

Hi,
sorry i've not read the rules and hope you are allowed direct links, I saw this deal at peter cooper in hedge end southampton and wondering if it is a sensible deal for an R32, sounded good to me, was on a buy one get a fox free OR get like £7.5k off.
I had also been looking at some 1.4 gt's on motorpoint which are 09 plate but imported from ireland and under the bonet it was a bit rusty!

similar to mine, although it has ther roof.
i like em in red too.
great price.
-
wot.......no recaros? Sunroof?? Lux winter highline cruise or park? P'ah! :wink:
LOL sound good though :smiley:
Go for it!!
-
Iv got a Red .:R32 and i'd say go for it! Abit of a rare colour considering i have only ever seen another red one apart from mine!
Looks good when clean too! :cool:

Oh and JT...congrats on your purchase mate...look forward to your pics!

I fancied an R32 too. Even went shopping for one in late November at my local dealer who had (and incidentally still has) a nice blue one with leather and dsg for 21500. He refused to take anything else off the price, but offered a decent trade in price against my 1 year old GTI. However when you look at the finance deals these days, they are less attractive. I went for a balloon payment type deal on my GTI and got a really nice monthly rate. However a year on, in the recession, the finance companies have low ball valuations on R32s and GTIs. They reckon a 3 year old R32 will be worth £6k, so offer low final payment values, which pushes the monthly payment up to almost double what I pay right now, borrowing only a couple of K more. Result, it's near impossible to fund an R32 via finance unless you have the cash to go for a full repayment deal and can shop around for the finance. Hence, this particular dealer can't shift this one.

Thats my local dealer aswell superTomo, was in there last week chatting to Chris and Harvey (salesman) i know very well.
Tis a very good deal, top spec R32 and a ickle runnaround to shove the wife n kids into, ive already suggested to the wife but she doesnt wanna hand the keys over of my Edition 30!.
-
I didn't realize so many red r32's out there, quite popular then! Very tempted, but need to think about the finance side of things + impacts on tax + fuel!!

Fold your rear seats down, and remove the boot floor carpet - then you should hear more of the zorst notes.

I thought all R32'ers removed the boot carpet to try and make the boot near the size of a GTI's.
(4WDs munch boot space)

Yes egbert thats what we all do. As well as drive round with a full load all the time.
-
Thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard. Its acompletely different layout due to the haldex and some minor room is taken up. I have still had a microwave and a wadrobe in the back with ease :rolleyes:
I put it next to my mums GTI and there is little difference. A worthy trade off for all weather traction!

Welcome to the eggbert and his silly comments :grin:

Just read an amusing one about having FWD and it saving him. He doesn't half talk some poo! AWD will have pointed him out and gone straight. :rolleyes:

LOL
But sadly, it aint just the carpet - the actual boot floor metalwork is raised by about 3½ inches to allow for the bulky heavy traction control unit Haldex and rear final drive. :lipsrsealed:

Actually, it is a little more than 'minor'. :wink: The GTI (and all front wheel drives) have a boot capacity of 350 litres (VDA method), whereas the R32 (and other 4motion models) have just 275 litres - so at 75 litres, that is a fair difference. :nerd:
-
Not to the eye it isnt mate, looked very little next to the gti!
-
Anyway, has anyone actually removed their boot carpet, folded the rear seats - and noticed if their zorst was louder inside?
-

Unless this GTI you are looking at has the space saver swapped for a full size spare, then I beg to differ. Those three and a half inches actually make a fair difference.
-
gti owners chipping at r32 owners for having more room in the boot?
whoopy doo for you and your extra space.
r32 has kudos a gti isnt capable of mustering, in any form.
gti, especially ed30 is dynamically superior in certain circumstances, that is a given,
but please,
pretty please,
know your place
:grin:

Anyways, back to the OP - where are those pics??!

Lovely car mate enjoy, im going to sell mine as there is only one car that could temp me away and thats the current M3, i did test drive with the RS4 but they look dated and i thought M3 was more special

keep it and wait for the new rs6 to drop to your budget :laugh:
