Few questions
« on: 12 March 2015, 17:30 »
Hi guys,
I'm ordering a GTi tomorrow and I have a couple questions.
1) does the media iphone in connection charge your phone?
2) is there a red light in the strip along the door just below the window? (Does light up)

Thanks in advance!

The carbon fibre effect strip below the window on the front doors does have a red light strip in it.  Also the metal door sills have red light strips in them as well.  However the back door carbon fibre effect panels do not have red light strips. 

I cannot confirm the iphone connection question as do not have an iphone, maybe one of the other participants on this forum can help with this one.

Enjoy the new car, I know you will love it.  I have a GTI PP and have to say it is the best car I have owned to date. :smiley:

Thanks for the reply brenbo! I'm going for a DSG. Are you manual or DSG?

To expand a bit, the green collar cable plays and charges my iPhone 6 plus fine.

Excuse my ignorance but what's a green collared cable? Will the car have one (ive ordered mine with the tech pack) or do I need to upgrade the cable ???

with the tech pack there are the two media cables you will recieve, you should  be able to make out the green collar on the lower one. . this is the one refered to by zayvin..


Oddly with the tech pack you lose the USB input socket which i believe is in the glovebox on cars without tech.
luckily i spotted this during handover of the car so the sales guy got me a usb to media in cable out of some audi! .if this matters to you bring it up with your garage and im sure they will supply one. pn in picture.





hope this helps. :smiley:
