Tiguan Accessories - Non Performance

[clip]

Any experience with this unit ( Am intereested for the CADDY

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-Car-DVD-GPS...item35a4501640

not that particular brand, but another. The bonus is that they do everything - NAV, bluetooth, full iPod control (if you must), DVD etc etc.

But I would go through Rob at Auspack (http://members.optusnet.com.au/auspacks/technical.html ) in Melbourne, not fleabay. They are great to deal with, competitive price especially with the Aus dollar now, and warranty or repairs are handled here. Personally, I wouldn't consider buying OS with the service that Auspack provides.

Replace all the rubber bushes with polyurethane bushes.

This is a great upgrade, both for performance (better handling) and longetivity ....

Powerflex is also a well known brand.

Kit made for the Tiguan

No wiring kit included .....

EDIT: ....

More importantly here is the Bosal kit ... a well known manufacturer and OEM supplier to VW

and BTW ... fitting an appropriate aftermarket towbar that fully integrates will not void your warranty ..... it is against the law for a manufacturer to claim that.....

EDIT 2:

and another that fully integrates with CAN ... BMW OEM supplier as welll ...

Sharkie, in your other thread with pictures of the roof racks, you indicated that you could get an ROLA RBX135 (ie the non-lockable versions). I also saw these in an old ROLA catalogue, however they no longer appear on the ROLA website.

Does anyone know if and where you can still get the ROLA RBX135 (ie non lockable ones)?

There is also another option the pro rack whispbar which I have on my Tig and I can recommend. They look great (aerodynamic) and are supposed to be the quietest ones around. They have two options and are silver with black mounts which look good on the black rails of my tig.

For those with a Tiguan towbar who may be concerned about someone pinching their hitch, I ordered a Talon hitch lock (FATL150) from the Australian Lock Company. The unit has a right angle fitting which suits the vertical mount for the tiguan.

link has a picture of what they look like.

pricing for me was $80.70 inc gst and delivery.

It's handy for me as I normally leave the hitch attached to help prevent damage from others parking by 'feel'

$44....are they kidding.

I use these....pretty much fit any phone....I have a bberry, and I've got one in each car. Connects to the A/C grills (and yes you do unfortunately loose some of the fresh air directed at you from the grill, but for $4.99, you really can't complain).
