Not sure if DRL changes are possible in non-GTI polos, AFAIK its all hardwired and not config'd via software. Could be different in newer model years though.

Touch adapter is fine though.

So I went to the VW dealership for the second time today to try and get my faulty touch adapter fixed and after about 4 hours of my time, plus fuel and toll charges they have told me that it is not an issue that they can fix and that VW are waiting to get a firmware update. I have written to VW assistance politely explaining my frustration as they refused to even code out the touch adapter for me even though it is problematic! Not impressed to say the least but I am looking forward to what they have to say...

Don't think it's legal to switch off DRLs.

Hi all~~just got my new 77tsi couple days ago...love it though..there is a small thing bothering me...the bluetooth adapter will sometimes NOT be turned on when ignition is switched on (I hv to unplug it than put it back to let it be on), which from my understanding from the manual it should automatically be on....

just wondering is it normal? or some of u experience the same...

cheers!!

It's a piece of junk in every car. Does not always start up with the car, does not end call with the phone, freezes up, crap audio quality. VW has their head in the sand over how faulty and useless they actually. Even replacement won't solve the issues. How hard is it to order cars with RCD510 as standard specification. My advice is to program is out via VCDS and opt for a Bury dock or leave the base plate blank and control the phone via the above head unit.

Couldn't agree more, I got two replacements for the touch adapter and they just seemed to be getting worse and worse.

hey guys, my MY12 GTI (bought 2nd hand) doesn't have the dongle and there seems be to be nothing to indicate it was removed after the fact and then the holes filled up etc. Does it mean that the original buyer had it removed from the factory? It has the RCD 510 and I can stream music via BT, however, no controls via steering, MFD or the head unit.

Thanks

Does it has an antenna like that? (note the sharkfin-esc base) and a mount for the dongle, ala the pics in the first post of this thread?

If not, then yes its a MY12 Polo not the MY12.5 that got BT standard, so the BT is a retrofit of some kind with a more basic unit.
