New Dubber
Congrats on the arrival. I have had my TDi CC for 3 weeks now and can't fault it. Brilliant cruiser and sipping at ~ 5.5l/100km.
I had the Kufatec installed and love it. Fully integrates into the RNS510 and connects to both my nokia and Iphone with out any problems. Cost $895 installed. When I ordered mine in August the premium bluetooth offered by VW was $2000 so if you managed a Kufatec from the factory at $700 then you have done well.
Enjoy the driving mate - I had the V6 CC for a weekend and they had to wrestle the keys off of me.

You'll enjoy; however, one thing I'd like to know: do you get any sun reflection from the mirror-like housing around the DSG gear-shift?Originally Posted by Leagle
The sun reflection is driving me nuts at the moment. I have actually put a cloth around the gear-shift to stop it. I spoke to the dealer who tells me I will have to live with it. It might be my driving position as I'm tall and have the seat back a fair way, but am I the only one?

I'm 6'2" and also have the seat a fair way back for just cruising around comfortably. Have had the reflection you're talking about hit me a couple of time since picking up the car in April but nothing serious or to be overly concered about. Are your windows tinted?

Ahhh, "The Reflection".
Been discussed as a "glaring oversight" even before R36s were around(and a long time before the CC).
Quite annoying in summer, not such an issue in winter. I have the seat in a sensible position for my height (171).
Windowtinting won't do a thing - it's sunlight coming through the windscreen that's causing it. Of course, if you have plenty of bugs and dust on the windscreen it might not be such a problem ... .

The R36 has the same issues (something I suspected from seeing the interior) -- I get bad reflection off the top of the dash on facing the sun. I also get reflection off the gear surrounds onto the drivers window in certain light as well.
Bit of a pain

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
Yep I checked the invoice and the Kufatec was advertised as a "non genuine accessory" though definitely described as "premium bluetooth". Confirmed that it was circa $700 too.
Re transmission glare, have not noticed it... yet!!! I'm sure I will now lol!
Am trying to post up some pics - anyone got a link to an easy way I can do this lol?

Hey Leagle,
Congrats on the new car!
An easy way to put pics up is join photobucket.com.au
After you've uploaded your pic to photobucket, put your mouse over the pic you want to attach and a lil box will appear, go down to the bottom and copy the "IMG" one. Then past that link onto your post in this forum.
Cheers,
Jayse.

Can you remove the shiny bits?
If so, get a can of plastic-dip and spray them over and you end up with a non-reflective surface.

After mention of the glare on here yesterday, I really noticed it on the way to work this morning! DOH! LoL
Wasn't really that annoying though.

Congrats on the new arrival, sounds great.
That's a fair few options, not worth ticking all the boxes as the car ends up costing a fortune and you don't get much of it back down the track.
