I am now the VERY proud owner of an MY09 R36 wagon.
Thought I'd start a thread just to document the little mods I do along the way, as I've enjoyed reading similar threads from other members.
Bought at >60K, in very good condition, no changes from factory:
Biscay Blue, powered tailgate, RNS510, RVC.
First change was just updating the RNS from the original 0900 software (!?) to 4120 with my custom partition ratios. Updated maps, added Aussietig's POI database, then an R splashscreen.
Installed the MObridge Bluetooth unit that had been installed my Octavia from the dealer. Its almost as good as the 9w7 except that it doesn't support AVHCP, so I can't control streaming music from the steering wheel, and it doesnt show the track/title info on screen. So eventually I'll replace it.
Next up I got an ECU and DSG tune from CPI as they had the special running with the DSG tune for free.
Haven't had a chance to properly test it but so far so good, just a touch more urge through the band and more up at the top. DSG feels smoother in day to day driving and totally seamless in sport. Downshifts in sport also not too forceful.
Today a few LEDs arrived.
Installed a cheap interior set from Aliexpress
Comprises all interior dome lights, glove box, boot and license plate (these ones didn't fit which I wasn't phased about as I have some proper ones ordered). Looks much more modern, I personally can't stand filament globes any more.
Next I installed some T10 LEDs for the horrible yellow parkers.
Apologies in advance for phone pics...
Original parkers with low beams as comparison:
One original, one LED:
Both LEDs, with low beam xenons:
