Re the satnav - I notice you've still got the standard bee-sting aerial fitted - will the satnav still work with the long aerial or do you need the small one fitted?

Contemplating retro-fit satnav but dont feel confident with replacing the aerial if I have to :/

(and yes you're right - black is best)

When you retro fit, you'll need a separate new GPS antenna. If you get a unit off Ebay the seller should supply one of these for you. I fitted it under the centre dash grill (the one that looks like a cool centre speaker but isn't) but this has a metal content and totally destroyed reception. Now it's in the top corner of the windscreen under the headlining. You'd never know it was there.

Easy peasy and nothing to do with your original aerial.

Now it's in the top corner of the windscreen under the headlining.

Thanks for that Can you post a pic of it (assuming it's not actually in IN the headlining)? Am I right in thinking its like one of those flat rectangular strips that you can stick to the windscreen outta the way?

Don't think you'd see much in a photo. It's a little square box about 2cm by 2cm. I know you can get different ones though. The crucial thing is to allow it as free an access to the open sky as possible. Ideally it would be great in a corner of the dashtop if that didn't annoy you too much. No point buying nav if it doesn't work as well as it could.

Next stop -  . . .  maybe lowering a couple of cm (I do like the way Edition 30s sit).

Actually, the standard GTI, and the Ed30 share identical suspension, and identical ride height.  There is a very intersting discussion on Vortex, actually stating that for road use, the standard OEM set-up handles better than lowered.  That is because lowering kits bu&&er up the geometery. 

Nice car BTW.

Let's try it this time....hope this works.

It's a 56 car with sunroof, ipod armrest, BBS CH, road angel, harmon kardon ipod thingy, Sony Ericsson bluetooth car kit with audio mute and sound thru speakers, retro fitted nav - Thanks Ebay

What do you think?












Next stop - Revo re-map, maybe lowering a couple of cm (I do like the way Edition 30s sit).


YES  BLACK IS BEST YOUR CAR IS BLINGIN
