Shouldn't take too much time to do - I can give it a crack if you like, otherwise, the dongle costs about $60 I think, delivered to your door. Mine took about 5 days to arrive.

There's no iphone version of the program - and they're apparently not planning one any time soon sadly - so I'm forced to borrow my mates android pad any time I want to poke around with the dongle.

Cheers may have to shout you a couple of beers
I have been looking through google and the only ios enabled one didnt appear to have any long coding options - just some further basic options that arent listed in the onboard system
Was called Carista....

But they might not of sent 230 stickers to Aus as its a 169 (to match the 162)
???
Guess Ill know in a few weeks...

My local dealer has a black 169tsi manual hatch on the floor. No stickers. I asked about them and was told none come with the car.

I noticed the rear were not heated. didnt pay attention to the front. Does it not come with the comfort pack?
The seats are no different to the AUS spec apart from the vrs badge in the seat is colour and not just stamped in.

RS230 seats are not heated as standard; heating (front/rear) is an option.

Sad to hear no stickers.

Is it possible to turn off the stop / start feature permanently?
Being in and out of the car all day it is annoying having to press the button every time it does it at the first set of lights

It can be done with VCDS many ways. Not sure if it can be done with OBDeleven, would need someone with it to confirm
