No difference in units it just makes it stick ot abit

Cheers for the heads up mate,

I've had it out and the part number starts with '1TO'   
 
I had a look at the frame where the unit actually screws to the dash and 3 of the 4 lugs look a little bent... and the fascia of the unit a tiny bit loose. Its a lithuanian ebay purchase so is there a potential the front has been damaged/repaired? if so do i need to worry about it? also would it be advisable to bend the lugs slightly to try and correct it?

Cheers

mortygttdi:
worth a try bud, just be careful and do it slowly, glad to see you didn't have an hybrid unit.

Darren

smithen999:
cool cheers for that, i'll have a go on the weekend so i dont have to rush it!!

if it has had a new screen/fascia is it likely to cause grief later on.....i.e when the 30 day warranty has expired!

one last question, ive fitted it to my 55 plate gti, do i need any coding done, everything works as it should. (i havent got plans to retro mfsw or highline) 

mortygttdi:
should be fine if you've not got mfsw or highline but the gps tracking might lag abit,  when you lose a gps signal your nav is dependant on the abs sensors on the back wheels like in a tunnel or thick trees, if your nav is not coded into the can gateway the nav unit cannot take the readings from the wheel sensors.

Darren

smithen999:
i'll see how i get on with it then before getting it coded.

Thanks all  :happy2:
