New 9n3 GTI Owner

[The One]

So originally I had an old parrot bluetooth unit mounted as such


After removing the unit I had an outline of sticky residue I tried removing.

I TRIED everything. Wax and Grease remover, Eucalyptus Oil, Multipurpse spray, Acetone etc.

Nothing worked and Goof Gone made it worse.. safe to say I hatched it. The area is now a different colour and those damn marks are still there. (With no idea how to reverse the effect)





Am now looking for a digital readout gauge for volts/oil/etc to cover it and mount it (similar shape to the Parrot unit).
I am thinking about purchasing a BLITZ R-VIT/TOUCH BRAIN and was wondering if it was compatible.. That or I will be getting a new dash because I am overly meticulous about such things :/

Also NSP Vent Pod and Gauge ordered !

That annoys me and I can only see it on a picture.

s this all I need to fit in a single din alpine unit?
Volkswagen Polo, Transporter Car Stereo CD Fitting Kit

allowing it to work with the "keeping on the stereo until pulling the key out function?"

I had mass trouble with this in my 6n2 Polo and ended up wiring power to a fuse etc etc. to come on when half turning the key lol

"to matriculate?" Which faculty?

Seriously though, clean looking car and congrats on the purchase

I've been looking at a digital boost gauge and been thinking it would be great if you could get a LED or LCD screen about the size of that parrot to go right in that location...still looking.

Also been thinking about the downpipe situation and have been looking at the options in the UK and Europe. Being in NZ, we can get away with no CAT on cars pre 2010, so I'm tending towards a Milltek decat. The only killer is the 99 pounds they want to send to NZ, but this is partly offset by them taking the VAT off the purchase price I think (being export and all). The Germans seem to be able to send downpipes to NZ for about 43 Euros, but the purchase prices are higher. If you're like me and not so good on Deutsch, watch out you don't end up buying decat pipe by accident - some of the Ebay listings show pictures of sport cats when the item is actually decat.

I've only spoken to one local exhaust guy and wasn't convince by his idea of a custom downpipe - but in a big city like Melbourne, no doubt you are spoilt for choice.

haha sorry ! Meticulous*******

yeah I have the NSP pod vent and gauge and wanted the BRAIN TOUCH or equiv. to monitor oil temps/volts etc.

the dash will **** me until I get a new one

Also today I realized the top of the passenger door frame is bent outfitter under 1cm.. Don't know how I missed that. Can't be bothered with the dealership so I'll probably get take it to the panel beater to straighten her out

Im pretty sure you actually need an canbus adapter lead, not just a lead.

It was a stuff around to get my head unit in and in the end I ended up getting Northfield to finish it up.

This is the one you need

Connects 2 CTSVW002.2 VW Golf Polo 2004> Steering Wheel Stalk Adaptor

With our exchange rate its actually easier to just get one from Northfield.

Thanks for the link, before you had posted that I had gone ahead and ordered this can-bus adapter from Germany.

hope she works!

PS. Has anybody had problem with the stock RDC200 radio and NQR radio reception? Always seems to have a bit of slight static!
