Collected my new GTI last week

[Captain Sensible]

Collected my new GTI last week. Have to say I am really pleased with the drive in particular the standard suspension set up. All my fillings are still in place.

The 510 is the hardest thing to get to grips with. Dealer said he put the iPod cable in for me. Yet when I use my iPod USB cable to plug into the dealer supplied cable the screen reads “not recognized” help here appreciated

Love the wheels

Thanks, was a bit worried I had made the wrong choice but have to say I am happy with them. They look far better in real life than in the picture

Yes, the wheels look good with the black bodywork.

You don't need 2 cables to run your ipod.
You should have received 2 cables as pictured below




A USB ended cable and an ipod ended cable.

Plugging your ipod into the USB ended cable won't work like you have discovered.

You plug it straight into the ipod ended cable.

Loving the wheels by the way. Very nice

Congratulations.
Simply bloody beautiful.
They are the best wheels I have seen on a black GTi.
What a lovely car with all those extras. Am a bit jealous.
Wish I had ordered Xenons and the Dynaudio, though the sound from the standard set-up is fine for me for now. That's what I keep telling myself!
Enjoy 'Black Beauty'.

The wheels look good, were they an option from VW? I don't recall seeing them as a choice.
Mud flaps don't look too bad either, especially as the car is black; mine's carbon grey so not too much difference, might change my mind and have some fitted [Was a bit worried about how they would change the appearance of the car overall  ]

The wheels came from the Golf accessory brochure  called “Vision” will keep the original 17’s and put winter tyres on them.
Was impressed with the dealer Arnold Clark Greenock. Everything went to plan including the delivery date. The GTI was set up with the coming home and leaving lights. Radio stations were also programmed in though my excitement of picking the car up made me forget about the iPod connection.  The manager came out and presented a nice framed painting with a certificate of originality which was a nice touch. Salesman went through the whole operation of the car.

Very impressed with the car , the best handling car I have had since the mark 2 GTI. It feels a quali
