I took up Sharkies generous offer and drove home today (after watching Casey clean up in the MotoGP
) with this installed:
a big difference from this (not my car obviously, but same wheel):
Sharkie had it installed and coded in a flash. Worked straight up! Great having the flappy paddles as I can now drop down a gear or two when I need it without having to stuff around with gear stick. Good thing is (not having had a DSG before, so I wasn't aware of) but it will revert back to whatever mode I had it in after about 10 seconds (unless I keep changing gears). Of course if I was in manual mode it doesn't.
Other advantage is size and feel of the wheel - much thicker and better contoured. The paddles are in just the right position and just the right size too.
We also tried disabling the the Stop/Start mode, but for some reason it won't take. Tried twice and it's still working. Also activiated the auto windows up when it detects rain too - very handy when I leave the windows down in summer at work and then forget about it as the storm hits.
So with Casey winning the 2012 MotoGP at home, and all this good stuff on the Passat, had a really great weekend. Thanks Sharkie for your time and help- much appreciated!
Next weekend will be the Provent install!
