IT'S ARRIVED!!!!!
« on: 17 March 2008, 11:17 »
Hi All

Ed30 has finally made it! Landed on my drive on Friday morning, I've not done anything but drive it since.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It's an absolute beauty. Not worked out how to post pics properly yet but it's a 5 dr Ed30 in steel grey so you'll know what it looks like.

They've upgraded me to the new touch-screen sat nav which appears great (not really used it much yet).

There are one or two minor issues which have in no way detracted from my enjoyment but I would appreciate advice from anyone who can offer it:

* There's a rattle in the front passenger seat when there's no-one in it and the car's doing between about 20 - 40 mph (not that it does those speeds that much  :wink:)

* iPod prep. I've been billed for "iPod Preparation" at £227.02. I was expecting a cradle in the front centre armrest, however all that's there is a plug socket that the delivery driver said I needed to buy a cable to plug the iPod in to. I popped in to Liverpool VW (despite previously swearing I would never cross their threshold again) and they said the iPod cradle is £185 inc fitting?? But I thought this was what I ordered??  :huh:

Oh yes - and it IS half cloth half leather  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know if it is different if you have the new RNS510, but my IPOD prep was a cradle built into the armrest with individual inserts that slid in depending on what type of IPOD you had. The IPOD plugged directly into the bottom of the cradle and didn't need any extra wiring or adapter cables. It sounds like another VW form of rip-off to me :angry:

not VW rip off, but error in ordering.

Down to customer or Salesman, but not VW themself.

Well done Mr Magoo,

I’m loving mine too. I’ve got a couple of minor issues also, so have posted a couple of questions (very minor).

There’s so much go, I’m struggling to be good!

Cheers... Hotrod

Definitely no customer error re the iPod prep :wink:, I'm waiting to hear back from the brokers.

Re the touch screen sat nav - yes I like it. Had a tomtom before and it (so far) appears comparable in terms of user-friendliness and accuracy.

Cheers all

Sounds like you have the aux socket not the full ipod prep. The Aux socket is £25.  :sick:
