Been a while since i updated the Golfs progress, probably casue not alot has changed in the last 5 months. I got it fully serviced at a local VW dealer back in August, and thats been it bar a few small changes.



First up was the fitting of a Ipod connection to the head unit, not the easyest of jobs to do, and you could easily break something if you jumped into it pulling the dash apart. But I managed to get all apart and back together without breaking anything. The VW booklet suggested you ran the lead to the glove box, but i decided to run it into the empty tray beneath the heater controls.


Next up i've been playing around with changing the front VW badge Black, but i'm undecided weather i like it black or not, so in the end i decided to leave the VW silver and change the GTI to red with a silver lip.


Last on the list was to remove the rear wiper, probably not the best time of year to do this mod with winter coming in, but i've been thinking of it for ages and finally got round to it last weekend.




Few more small updates coming soon i hope, i'll keep you posted as i get them.

I've just never understood the removal of the rear wiper mod?
I hope you still check your rear view mirror when it rains  :wink:

Wayne D:

Thanks for your comments rdfcpete, i've had the car 6 months now and i still love it..  :smiley:

liver:
looking good mate

small changes look good

how much was the ipod connection and was it difficult to fit?

Wayne D:
Thanks Liver,

The ipod Lead from VW costs £92, its ok to fit, but just be careful, there are a few hidden screws and clips that could be easily broken if you dont know where they are, i did a search on line and it gave step by step guids how to remove the dash parts. Only other awkward part is you need to connect and wire into the existing wiring connection socket. Again, just take your time and you'll manage it.
