GTI optional extras

Post by andyc315 »

Hello, been searching around here for a couple of months now trying to find out as much as possible about the 9n3 gti as i can, but i'm struggling to find a definitive answer to the options list.

As most of the adverts on autotrader etc dont have the greatest amount of detail above the usual PAS, split fold rear seats etc, i was hoping someone could provide a full options list (maybe even a brochure pdf) for the gti, so i know what to look out for if i were to view a car :D

So far i know of the following options:

leather seats
winter pack (not sure what is included)
climate control
sat nav (rare i know)

any help would be much appreciated :mrgreen:

Winter pack is headlight washers and heated seats(?) heated can be leather or cloth, but I think cloth is a lot rarer
maybe auto dimming rear view mirror
CD changer
Cruise control can be retrofitted easy enough

Thanks for the replies! Going to look at one tomorrow and the only option I can see on the pictures is climate control which I was keen on having.
From the replies the only others i would like (but not vital) is cd changer and rain sensing wipers.
I imagine under seat storage is an easy retrofit? I would also be interested in cruise control as well. Found links to a german website for the stalk etc for €109 which I think is what most on here use?

Pretty sure underseat storage is standard, due to the s**t glovebox!

Cruise control is a doddle if you know what you are doing and have a cope of VCDS to activate it!

Very few have digital Climate control as they had a very high failure rate and most were replaced with the more standard climatic unit under warranty.

Yeah do any wires need splicing?
I'm sure I could borrow vagcom from someone local as well

Is there any way to tell the speakers apart from standard?
I hope the headlining is black in all!

Behind mi door card you can just see that the speaker is yellow and I think the normal ones are black but other than that I know because I work in an accident repair centre and I've played with the stereos on a normal polo and that don't sound half as clear or bassy

Didnt realise heated cloth seats were rare

Mines got:
Heated cloth seats (With headlight washers as part of the Winter pack)
Cruise control (Retro fit)

An as far as I am aware the CD changer is standard on all 9N Polos, when my sister bought hers (1.2) brand new, the option was an Aux port or 6 cd changer. Couldnt opt for neither

Could be wrong tho! Hers is a 58 plate
