First thoughts on my GTD

[Diehammer]

What do you mean by setting up the auto wipers? You move the wiper stalk one notch and that's it.

You are forgetting the tricky bit - setting the sensitivity with the the little rocker switsch....

You are right about that I think It will take a couple of weeks to decide on a setting. Going to switch the rear wipe on reverse off though

Love the sound of the soundaktor in sport mode is brilliant. Love the sound of it and don't think I will need to turn it down.

Yay, at last someone else who loves the soundaktor like me! 

Congrats on the car - great colour!

Thanks Matchboy.

I am getting nowhere with adding the radio station logos, the delaer had added sone fm logos before i picked the car up and now i cant add to either FM, AM or DAB. i have tried both SD Card and CD with no luck whatsoever.

Is there a folder structure that needs to be used? I was reading a guide which says SD Cards need to be formatted to exFat but the infotainment system can only see it when its formatted to Fat. I have downloaded the logos from the volkwagen site and followed the instructions in the manual.

Any ideas?

There's a thread somewhere covering this.  I can't remember where I got the logos from (may have been VW), but I just downloaded them into a folder and bunged them on an sd card (no idea if I formatted it or not, but it was a brand new sd card) - you then stick the card in the free slot in the glove box, then you add the radio stations one by one via the screen (point it in the direction of the sd card).  It takes a while, but once its done it looks cool

Thats what i have tried it sees the files but doesnt add them in. Should there be a preview before you select it?

Yes, once you hold down say, Radio 1, it will take you on the screen to the folder where the icons are held.  It'll be a big long list and it should show you the artwork so you can pick the right one.  If the artwork isn't showing there then that's the extent of my technical knowledge I'm afraid lol - but someone on here will have more useful advice

Yes but isn't the Soundaktor quieter on a GTI than an R in Sport?

Yes, it is.  But the missus has a GTD with the sport and sound pack, and when you nail that in sport mode its pretty loud in the cabin (and outside too).

I just want some soundaktor friends

Corrected that for you 

No Soundaktor buddies on the R Forum?  Surely someone?

I don't bother with the R forum - it has too many trolls, too many R fanboys and too much anger.  I read it as there are a few interesting threads, but most of the time its not worth it.

I'll just be a billy no mates then....
