    Thumbs up Upgrades mostly finished on the trendline :)

    Hey guys, just thought I'd pop by and say thanks for all the advice. I've now got my trendline up to more or less where I want it. Got 18% tint on it, upgraded to an RCD510 (easiest install ever and required no coding), added some chrome trim to the steering wheel and got a bury universal XL! Now that the car has done about 1700 km, I have gotten used to the shopping cart engine and have a basic idea of how to get the most power out of the car (basically put the foot down harder). Haha, pretty happy with the car now. It's pretty much all I've wanted in a new car (looks good, peppy engine for city driving, bluetooth music and phone, comfortable, $16K drive-away).

    A couple of small things I'd like to do with it or have questions about:
    1. What does that diamond button at the bottom left of the RCD do? It just shows "no new messages" when I press it. Any way to change the functionality of this thing?
    2. I can't seem to find someone willing to code out the bluetooth adaptor in Adelaide for a decent price. Blerg. Dealership service centre said they didn't know how to (ugh) and others want upwards of $50 for a 10 min job. Anyone with a hex+can cable in radders up for a VCDS code with beer?
    3. I got some superficial scratches on the passenger side (some asshat left a pile of broken tree limbs on the side of the road with pointy ends towards the vehicle and of course I hit it whilst a car was passing in the opposite lane, so couldn't avoid it) I just ordered some quixx off of amazon, has anyone had any experience with it? The scratch is superficial (fingernail doesn't catch) but runs along the entire length of the passenger side.

    I decided to leave the wheels as is as spending upwards of $1000 on wheels on a car I'll probably sell in 2 years or so is probably not worth it. I'll just buy what I really want with my next car (GTi perhaps), although I'm pretty spoiled by this RCD510. What a huge upgrade!

    Thanks again for the help guys! Will be popping by to the Adelaide socials when if I can make it (work hours are nuts sometimes).

    here are some pics of the happy little thing.

    Edit: deleted a pic and just wanted to add that I got D&S Auto to do my tint - $275 and the job is great! They were very helpful and did not once push for the more expensive tint (instead being honest and letting me make my own informed opinion). So much better than tint-a-car who were rude, overpriced ($495, are you kidding me?) and unhelpful (refused to book me in on the weekend as my car was 'not worth their while for a Sat booking') - ok. Anyways, my recommendation is D&S for Adelaide.
