New GTi
« on: 23 December 2009, 19:47 »
Hello all,

First post so please be gentle!... Ordered a brand new gti today from stock and pick it up next week, really can't wait, thought I'd get in before the vat & price increases.. Got a fairly good deal aswell!

The spec is:
5dr DSG, Carbon Grey, Leather, 18" Monzas & Rcd510.

Had a 3dr mk5 Gti 3 years ago and am looking forward to getting the mk6..

Congratulations I bet your looking forward to getting behind the wheel.

What I don’t understand is my dealer has told me there is a waiting list of three to four months. Was yours a demo ?

From stock - likely to be sitting on a forecourt somewhere.

Phoned around a few dealers and managed to get a showroom car, didn't have everything I wanted but I hate waiting so didn't fancy a factory order. I did the same 3 yrs ago when I wanted a White TT, phoned nearly every Audi garage in the country but found one in the end!

I would of liked the phone prep on the gti, how easy is the Fiscon kit to install and does it work with the iPhone?

Cheers..

If theres not a fitting day near you, its pretty simple to DIY!
Gently pull of a panel, remove 4 torx screws, pull out the stereo, and plug the Fiscon box in the back!
That will take 5 mins...
It may take a bit longer to run in the Mic cable depending where you want it - but you could probably do the whole thing in an hour with a VERY limited knowledge of ICE!  :wink:

Cheers for the info, I think I'll try the diy option when I get it as I'm in Essex!

Here is a VERy simple guide Aidy posted on the MKIV forum on how to swap the stereo.  Its the same principle really.

tho I believe I'm right in saying that you need to VAG.com it to enable all the features right?

good thing you didn't get the factory prep bluetooth as that is not compatible with the iPhone. you need a phone with a Remote SIM Access Profile (RSAP) bluetooth to be VW factory kit compatible (i.e. most newer Nokias).


Nice spec though dude... I bet some peeps here are spitting blood since some have been waiting 3-4 months plus!!

Yeah all Aug orders have been at least 4 months! and theres still 75% of them aug orders who are still waiting! so its more like 5-6 months for the majority, thank god i was one of the luckier one's! (if you can say 4 months wernt too bad!)

5dr DSG, Carbon Grey, Leather, 18" Monzas & Rcd510.

- 5dr DSG: best combo :smiley:
- Carbon Grey: best colour :smiley:
- Leather: should read 40% leather, 60% plastic, but never mind... :wink:

Congrats, bet you can't wait :rolleyes:
