Golf R Observations and Questions

[Big_Dave]

Yeah, Valid points Corey.

I wish i had never found My free MDI.

CURSE you MDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, i went down to local VW dealer's parts division and bought the "IPod MDI Cable" NOTE it says IPod not IPhone on the packaging.
Anyway it is about $83 incl gst, and it works really well.

As far as the while iPod/iPhone thing is concerned when working correctly with MDI, I have heard (though not confrmed) that it's only the iPhone 4 which will work 100% correctly through the car, and all other previous iPhone models will work to some extent, just not as well in terms of controllability etc...

Can anyone confirm this? Or is this a myth?

Save yourself some money and dont get ripped off by VW by paying close to 100 dollars for a simple cable. That money can go towards your Stage 1 upgrade :p

And yes i can comfirm the cable works 100% with my iPhone 3GS, full function, no issues.

daft question. I've got my NADCON info and codes and its all good, including a planned buildweek, but where/what is the code for DSG/Manual?

Also in our experiences do planned build weeks slip?

Just curious...

We not arguing just having a chuckle.. I am sure Will cares as much about it as I do..

yes, our friend Corey should chill out.. thought you would see the funny side SF, I care NOT that VW has stopped production of the three door version. Kinda felt that was the point of my response, but hay we all don't see humour the same way..... On the other hand REX's ethic slurs and derogatory terms used against Asians should not be tolerated in this forum and Corey should remove the statement..

It's the car code, not an option code:
5K1RX6 <-- 5 door manual R
5K1RX7 <-- 5 door DSG R

Our Golf R now has 3000km on it and is getting quicker as it loosens up. It is amazingly quick on tight winding mountain roads and is far quicker than the big bikes one finds on these roads! The cornering power is like araldite on plywood. It sticks like cement. All systems and controls work perfectly and the car has no faults for any warranty claims. It has no rattles or squeaks and is very comfortable. Just a fantastic car with amazing performance and handling. We are very happy customers of VW Australia.

Good to hear mate, is it a DSG and if so how is it travelling..?

In my centre console there is a jack plug socket so this cable is not the one for my Golf R. I need an iPhone4 plug at one end and a stereo jack plug (3mm I think) at the other.

Yes it is a DSG and going very well.
