Lots of people run these, but its a minefield as far as I know and most LED upgrades aren't road legal, good explanation here:

Hey, I'd be very interested in upgrading to LEDs - can anyone recommend a supplier, there does seem to be some variation in price (do you get what you pay for)?:

Found a UK based site selling the pair of SHW’s for £390. I can’t comment whether the site is legit but the price seems to be a bargain and they look identical to the CSS brake discs.  https://www.powerbrakes.co.uk/products/shw-performance-2-piece-front-brake-discs-pair-for-volkswagen-golf-mk7-mk7-5-r-340mm?search=top-products

Golf mk7 / Re: 7.5 performance dsg remap

I had an engine ecu remap and the DSG box remap at the same time on my 2019 7.5 performance and wow, the difference is amazing. The gearbox remap makes the shifts in sport mode way quicker and more snappy and I don’t notice any issues with it finding gears in general driving.

The only issue is trying to get the power down in this colder weather with damp roads. It’s often better in normal than sport otherwise it’s spinning the wheels for grip. I also don’t get great mpg in mixed driving but cruising on motorway is alright.

I had a REVO stage 1 remap done at VAGTech in MK years ago but they didn’t have the file for the DSG remap available at the time.

Not that I’d get to enjoy it this time of the year but might get the gearbox done next time there’s a sale to see how well it complements the ECU remap.

How many miles have you done since the new discs?
Both pad deposition and interface with hub being out of true tend to only cause problems 1000-5000 miles later. Don't ask me how I know....

You've encountered the android auto app safety requirements.

To get an app android auto certified (and allowed to function) it has to meet a load of requirements (apple car play is the same).

Basically its all about not overloading the display meaning the driver spends too much time looking at it.

Loads of apps become quite hard to use because of it. Some cope better than others...

Try a different radio app? Tune In Radio maybe?

Thanks mate, i normally use the auto brake to reduce the hot pad on the disc. I'll get them off and see if theres anything going on, that I've missed. Seems odd they've been on the car for around 7 months, and now they're misbehaving.

I'll have a read of your link though.

Cheers again.
