[rs73]

considering a rns510 and rvc or ops

[sharkablue]

I am looking at the RNS510 and the 9W7 Bluetooth kit of eBay.

....Oh and im looking at getting the LED taillights, but im still tossing up between the 'R' style LED lights or the normal LED lights.

I've also purchased a Ross Tech HEX-USB+CAN Interface for use with VCDS/VAG-COM

Given the strong dollar, I think I'll grab one of these too. Haven't checked yet but hoping the same item can be used for both cars.

Hey dave-, many people on these forums save ~$100 and get the Ross-Tech Micro-CAN Interface but it can only be used with "cars based on Mk.5 Golf technology". For this reason, I purchased the "full version" of the interface, so I can use it with practically all VW/Audi/Seat cars built (and apparently several from other companies). This way I can use it on my Polo GTI, my future R, my dad's Audi A4, etc etc.

The cost of the full interface is US$349 and shipping to Australia is $59.09, so US$408.09 total - which with the $ at 98c converts to $415.
A few months ago when the $ was still low, it was cheaper for me to purchase it from the Australian Distributor for Ross-Tech I just sent them a PM on these forums.... had the cable in my hands the very next day!

Thinking the same, as Tim confirmed that I need the full version for the Polo anyway. Then between family/friends there is A4/RS5/Mk5/TT/Tiguan, it won't go to waste!

Since I got my 118 TSI, I've purchsed:

RNS510 from the London Ebay seller
9W3 Bluetooth from the Poland Ebay seller
Rear mudflaps from Burwin VW ($80 just for the rear set)
VCDS from Ross-Tech
Boot organiser from SuperCheap (has velcro to stick to the carpet)

Does anyone know if I can get metal racing pedals (i.e. GTI ones) for the 118 TSI? I also wouldn't mind getting the DSG shifter from the GTI as well, but can live without it if need be. Paddles would've been nice, but at $2000 I might as well save the money towards a Mk7 GTI.

I might also get a weathershield for the driver door, and rear mats (car came with front ones). Illuminated door sills would be cool, but I can only imagine that they would cost a pretty penny. They might also make me look too chav as well.

Does anyone know if I can get metal racing pedals (i.e. GTI ones) for the 118 TSI (besides being ripped off from VW directly)? I also wouldn't mind getting the DSG shifter from the GTI as well, but can live without it if need be. Paddles would've been nice, but at $2000 I might as well save the money towards a Mk7 GTI.

Yeah, the cost of changing the 118TSI's steering wheel so that it supports the DSG paddle shifters is prohibitive.

As for the pedals though, have you looked at the ECS Tuning MK6 "Rabbit" Pedal page? Make sure you don't get a dead pedal from them, because they're LHD specific, but I can't see how the rest of the pedals wouldn't fit a RHD car.

RNS510 via eBay.

[xrayshaggy]

I already have some Lakin Plates and covers, as well as ST2P Paddles. I have also arranged with Phatt Audio for a custom subwoofer/map for the trunk, Roadkill as well as a Viper alarm and GPS tracker and some paint protection film.

This page may also interest some people with the GTI acceleration rattle:

DBC GTI Exhausts

Exhausts for half the price (in the case of APR) of those available in Australia. I personally love the stock sound and the ARP RSC sounds way too aggressive for me. I haven't heard of Billy Boat before, but $489 for a 3 inch downpipe system is very good. Combine that with the Carbonio, and for $913 at today's exchange rate - delivered, you'll have yourself Stage 2 ready. And possibly no rattle.

I wonder what APR would charge for Stage 2 if you don't buy hardware from them.....

I would steer clear of the BB DP btw, u have to cut a few inches of your stock cat back for it to fit. I would also be wary of 42dd exhausts as they are made from aluminised steel rather than full stainless.

If anyone is looking to get a torque arm insert dubaddiction is selling them for 50% off which at $35 is a bargain! Its the same as the MY09+ mkv gti btw.
