Re: GVN60 Kenwood Nav

It is probably at the rear of the glove box,you will have to reposition it to get at the sd card slot,suggest you fix it to the underside of the glove box with Velcro it will make things easier for the next time you need to get at it.

Re: GTI Charging

The blue gt uses an agm battery & your smart charger would have been switched to that mode of charging.Does the gti have a conventional battery or a agm battery this may be the problem.

Re: Kenwood Sat nav upgrade

Thanks Dave,
Have been in touch with Kenwood they are out of stock for app.6 wks.They will forward one to my local dealer when they arrive.
I found Kenwood very helpful and they are sure their splitter will do the job which bodes well having read your comments,Many thanks.

Re: Kenwood Sat nav upgrade

That's the first bit of good news I have heard on the tmc for the 6c I had long given up on it.Do you have any further info on the booster ie.part or type number my dealer is a waste of time.

Re: Engine cover

I have to agree with you I would love to see a nice pair of polished rocker covers but those days are long gone within my price range but when you look at the Blue gt engine it is hardly a thing of beauty So I prefer to cover it up that said I find the modern engines don't leak oil or water like my ...

Re: Engine cover

The cover is fitted as standard on the Golf7 1.4 gt act.So i cant see heat being to much of a problem in the Polo even with a smaller engine bay.I think it is just the vw bean counters have been at work cheapening trying to cut costs.I dont think this cover will fit the uk 1.2 it looks very differen...

Re: Kenwood Sat nav upgrade

Re: 6C Composition Media Click/Mute/Fade Problem

I think my post may muddy the waters a bit more but it does back up Dinks theory that it could be a hardware problem. I do get the random Click but no poping i only noticed it after having the Kenwood/Garmin sat nav fitted, it does have the factory RVC. However my MST ends 135T. SW MU 135T. Part No....

Re: Blue GT Chome Exhaust trims

My 2015 blue gt did not have chrome tips despite what the brochure said,had to buy as an extra but you might get your dealer to throw them into the deal!
