Bury phone cradle help pls.

[tshow]

Hey, I was thinking of doing the same thing to my Polo. I just picked up my brand new car <24 hours ago and the redundancy of that "Touch Adapter" is overwhelming. Much like a rotten fish left to stink up the whole car. I had to do something about it and I am asking my dealership's diagnostic technician to disable the the Touch Adapter. The person on the phone isn't quite sure what I'm asking for, mainly unsure if I want to remove or to disable it. Isn't it the same thing? I don't want to remove it physically, I just want to put a Bury S9 Universal XL Cradle in.

That "Touch Adapter"... my god. Can't even mention it, be it written or verbal, without emphasising how ridiculously stupid it is.

Hello, can anyone help please ?

I have that redundant lump of plastic too... I understand that there is a genuine VW part available (Universal type) but as I have a Galaxy S% that is too small, I also have a latex/rubber cover that makes the phone a bit bigger.

I also resent the implication that I have to pay $250 for the item.

Can I buy this... and what else do I need to buy?

You can, but you'll also need VCDS coding. See This Article for more.

Thank you illOgitech... I understand this to be the case.

Hope the dealer has a clue because I don't think there is anyone else in Geelong to choose.

Now to work out if this part I saw on ebay can be installed neatly to the original base and that the S5 (not S%, lol) can be installed both in landscape and portrait orientations.

I just bought the XXL myself for the iPhone 6. Rotate easily.
Neatly is debatable - I don't find it as visually appealing as the all-in-one dock I had for the iPhone 5.

The phone specs I see for it are:
Height: 105mm to 142mm
Width: 46mm to 80mm
Depth: 8mm to 20mm

Sadly I believe a naked S5 is 142mm high, so you could be in for some difficulty

I use a Bury XXL with a S5 no problems but you do need to remove it from any case you might have it in.

I bought mine from these guys.

$99 and I can't remember if postage was on top of that. They are in Sydney.

Here's how it looks

These cradles work well to hold the phone for nav and calls, but dont slide the passenger seat all the way forwards fast when folded, you may hit the cradle. Stupid extra thing we didnt need can be made to be useful, but space is at a premium in the Polo so beware of those passengers who struggle to get in and out of a 3 door. LOL

Since this thread has been bumped,
Does anyone with a XXL cradle have problems fitting it into the mount? Mine doesn't click into place no matter how hard I push.
