Can anyone advise where i can get the bluetooth & rear camera installed? Have the kits ready to go. Derek at european autotech is off on holidays for 5 weeks.

Maybe take it to dealer?

Car is all good so far. Small rattle in rear door ill get the dealer to look at otherwise perfect. Just clicked over the 500k mark this morning.

..... rear camera....

is that the "hidden in the badge version", like the passat?

No because Monkeysrus' RS is a wagon and the boot release on Passat wagons is above the rear numberplate (which is on the bootlid and not the bumper like the Golf), not in the badge which sucks .

Yeah the kit i bought is from the golf + (wagon) in germany. Camera integrated into boot release. It turns up tomo i think so ill post up a pic of the parts.

So does a rear camera plug straight into the standard FL2 stereo? I have been wondering about this one for a while myself. Also I am wondering if the standard wiring loom already holds the wires for upgrade accessories like this? My VY Commodore had most wiring already installed for things like fog lights, I just changed the switch and plugged in the relay.

Congrats on getting the car! I've been away from the forums for a while now. Been rather busy at work. Even my car is filthy dirty and haven't had a chance to do anything to it.

Hmm, Derek on holidays. That's gonna be a pain. I don't know of anyone else, but if you are adventurous, you can do it yourself. Instructions are available, and I'm guessing you will have a spare mic as it should already be plugged in and installed, cable should already be connected at the back of the stereo.

Good luck with the install!

Yeah was thinking of having a go, although the rear camera kit might be a bit of a mission. I have seen instructions somewhere before, anywhere i should hunt around for them?

How's the Skoda going Monkey? Good to see you back in a VAG car...

All good so far. Just clicked over 2k so can now give it a little. It does feel SLOW compared to the tinkered xr5. Ill slowly fix that though.

I really need to get the springs etc in ASAP as i reckon it looks a bit like a 4x4 as is.

Pics from xmas break, i gave the car a good clean / glaze / sealant / wax. Came up mint. The poorboys diamond white glaze made the car paint feel like it was covered with butter.

what springs are you putting in?? How much will it drop it??

Of note - I just had a 4 wheel alignment done and on the report it noted the rear suspension is about 2cm lower then the front. I hope the front still needs to settle ( but doubt it with now 20K kms on it now), but the rears have due to carrying some big loads in the back. If not I think I might have to look at getting a lowering kit at some stage, or simply getting the front springs reset to match the rear height.

You know what's funny is that when i picked up my RS ( In Aug 09) I looked at getting that exact set of plates as you now have on yours - but never got around to it. Looks like I missed the boat there.........
