Hello everyone *insert strong french accent, beret, stripped shirt and baguette*

I just decided to register (and try to contribute) today since I'm the proud owner of a 2009 mk5 Golf V owner.

The guy :
Luis, french guy living in Paris, been a petrol head since I was a kid, owned a load of cars ( first one was a Golf II GTI 8v ).
Computer engineer by trade, tinkerer by passion - currently restoring a 1971 Ford Capri as a side project

The ride :

2009, Golf V 1.9 TDI Bluemotion (105 slightly annoyed donkeys under the hood)
All bells and whistles included :
- "Follow me home" lights (both coming and leaving mode) and automatic lights
- Cruise Control
- Remote window control
- Highline MFD
- 8 button Multi Function Steeting Wheel (MFSW)
- RCD 330 Plus ( Desay aka 187A - Windows CE ) to replace the ugly and pathetic RCD300 that came with.

Projects :
- CAN Bus hack in progress, I'm working on building a module to interface the current MFSW and red MFD to work with the RCD330. Objectives are simple : cheap (Arduino based), simple, and most important, invisible. I want to keep the modifications to a minimum : a couple of wires to plug on the power & CAN bus, and restore functionality as if it came out of the factory.
- Parking sensors retrofit planned for this weekend (hopefuly)

Have a nice day!
