And now that you have all the highline goodness you can fit a PolarFIS and monitor all sorts of cool shizzle on the fly :smiley: :happy2:
With my Clio 182 getting the code for the radio was no problem. A call to the dealer. Chassis number. Proof of ownership over the phone and got the Code there and then. No charge. Hope this is the case with VW too??

They might do that if they want but it's easier to get the code for free when you already know someone working there or you're a frequent customer. They only need the VIN number from the original car where the radio came from and the radio serial number to check the list with the codes. Other than that they might need to connect the car to the server to get the code.

Yeah didn't know the radio code is also in the clock itself :stupid: but then again no one ever mentions these things before hand. :doh: only was is getting code from stealers.

Ahhh. OK, that's interesting and does it really matter about the maximum speed as we would never hit that anyway! Was it a problem to fit then due to the different shape or can you notice it once in the car? I'm interested as would like to fit highline clocks but they are quite a bit of cash for a 'nice to have'...... D'oh!! Yeah, that's a pain and I do hope that the stealers look after you if you can get the code from them without too much hassle :wink:
[/quote]No it doesn't matter at all tbh.
No it fitted fine without any issues and was programmed for £50 but stupidly I forgot my spare key so going to have to get that done when next around bham.

That's the problem they don't always play ball and favoritism or if you're a regular customer and I'm not being sell maintenance an all that.
