Cheers :happy2:
Another few mods done this weekend, again many thanks to Ed for helping me out.
This week I had a few packages turn up being my footwell and vanity mirror LEDs I forgot to order with the first lot...idiot! I was also waiting for the door lights to arrive and decided to get the RNS voice control installed too. Ed came over to sort those out for me, while he was pulling the doors to pieces I swapped the interior lights over to the LEDs and also got the RNS510 out again so the voice control mic could be fitted.
We also took the opportunity to pull the unit to pieces as I've been having drive issues with it not accepting disks, which looks like drive is DOA so will be contacting the guy I got it off to see if he'll either sort me one out or refund the cost of one as I don't want to send the unit back...waited long enough to find one in the first place!
This moment was a little scary for me!

RNS minus drive

Got a few packages yesterday.
I finally decided to go for some new headlight bulbs as the ones in at the moment are absolute poop and deserve to scrapped :fighting: Sidelight bulbs were free so they will probably go in the spares box. One of the things I've been waiting for was a new Mk6 switch kit so I got around to fitting those during lunch which has really improved the look again I think.
Before
After
All of the doors have new switches but those ones are boring so just put up the big ones :signLOL:
Just as I was coming back in to the office I bumped into a DHL driver who just happened to have another package for me, this is one I've been waiting for and was acting like a small child at xmas when I was back in the office. Can't wait to install it....maybe later today if the weather holds out! :laugh: :party:

I love the brushed chrome buttons and dials, it makes the interior that bit more upmarket. Did you do the fuel release?
Need the Chrome A/C surrounds too if you haven't already, think they are only about £6 for 3 on ebay. :party:

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way it's looking now! I'm still in two minds about the A/C chrome surrounds, I also can't seem to find them on eBay, do you have a link at all @Scottymon? I didn't do the fuel release as I couldn't find any of the individual switches. My kit came with one but it also had the boot release attached to it so won't fit, think it's actually for a Passat. I'm not overly fussed about it though to be honest as it's not in clear view so can't bug me too much (I sometimes even forget it's there!) :smiley:
I got around to fitting my Fiscon Basic Plus on Tuesday but only just got around to posting. The install was probably the easiest thing I've done so far including installing the RNS510. It really is plug and play (probably helped that Ed coded the phone in at the weekend for me though :happy2:), the only thing I had to do was to route the mic cable to the driver side door pillar for now but even that wasn't overly hard after seeing Ed do it at the weekend :signLOL: I will be moving it up to the light dome when I can remove the Bury mic.
Still getting used to the Bury screen not being there but it looks so much tidier now. The amount of cabling I pulled out from the Bury kit was unreal, whoever installed it looks like they just forced everything into whatever gap they could find! The RNS phone screen is so nice and when in a call I can even see the name, number, and even have some options on the MFD which I wasn't expecting to get, also much happier now it doesn't just mute the music but actually pauses it...small things again :grin:
Hoping that the little gap where the Bury screen was will 'heal' itself over time and close up again but I can live with that as it's not hugely noticeable, just being a bit of a perfectionist...again.
