£10 special from Ali Express, works great but will run battery down quite quickly, 6-8 hours on mine using waze. Now powered via the cigarette lighter. I had trouble connecting mine via USB so was only option.  Samsung A53 5g.

Golf mk8 / Re: VW Software update notification email

Thanks all. Heads up it's a bit of a PITA this one - the update logs you out, resets your sound equaliser personalisation, removes favourited phone contacts, resets your custom background lighting options/colours, and finally it removes any personalisation's you may have done to the vehicle settings (such as enabling dynamic cornering lights, etc)

Further to this, mine was an AA wireless 2023 unit.  £70.

I am currently using an Ottocast mini, but I have an AA wireless 2+ on order. The Ottocast was absolutely fine and I suspect some of the issues I see are actually to do with the car (though in my case, this is actually in an Audi A4).

I originally wanted the AA wireless 2+ as that seems to be the go-to for this purpose, it just wasn't generally available when I was looking. I can try to report back in a week or so once I've got it.

I used one when i had an Android phone and it used to run my phone battery down too much. I now use an iphone and just plug it in to the USB port on the dash on a cable.

Good job you haven't got a mk2, you'd feel very short-changed.

Mine has had a fair bit of action recently, so photographic evidence:

Golf mk8 / Rear wiper - am I going mad..?
« Last post by CarbonGTD on 15 February 2026, 14:53 »
I only noticed yesterday - the rear wiper on my 8.5 GTI 265 doesn't sweep a full 180 deg - it only sweeps to maybe 170 deg?  Now I have had many Golfs before and I have never noticed on any of them the rear wiper to not sweep the full 180 deg - but maybe I just never noticed before??  Anyone out there with a Mk 8.5 GTI that can confirm whether yours is the same??
