My New R36 - a disappointing start

and probably something you can only get from VW and cost a small fortune....

Unless you work for a motor vehicle battery manufacturer...

How did you set names for your radio stations?

No idea... it was like that when I picked it up... I'll have to read the manual LOL...

Well today was pickup day. A few issues though!

1. They "forgot" to spec Dynaudio in the order.
2. The sat nav is currently inoperative
3. There is a real rough pickup in 1st or reverse on first moving off (with or without autohold on)
4. No nav DVD in sight...
5. They charged me for the USB cable that is supposed to come included with the MDI device that is installed (after first telling me that MDI wasn't fitted as it was on back order, until I said "it's a factory fit" and they had another look and found it - they waited until I arrived to pickup to tell me that?!?!)
6. They hadn't got me an iPod cable despite me having asked multiple times in writing over the last 2 months.

At this stage they are promising to rectify everything (including retro-fitting Dynaudio by ordering a new car with it and swapping it all over!)

Anyone else had such an interesting start to the ownership experience?

The car itself - apart from the rough first moving in 1st or R, a wonderful drive. Sounds just fantastic... that exhaust note... ahhh!!! Feels well put together, and so far am very impressed with it. As for the dealer, well... we'll see how they go resolving the issues I guess.

which dealer? I am awaiting my V6 Highline from a Brisbane Dealer....

I'm pretty sure it's the digital radio tranmission which automatically shows up the name of the station on your screen. Had it on my old A4 also.

Cheers,

Jayse.

Anyone had trouble with the Dynaudio cutting out. Mine's just 3 weeks old and it shuts down all sound from the radio and GPS - seems like when it gets hot. Takes some time and then have to stop the engine and remove the key to get it going agin. Usually lasts about an hour before it custs out unless it's turned up loud for a short time. On the 2 "frekin" hour commute its a pain.
