Big thanks to Eddie-NL

[GarethB]

Just want to say a big thank you to @Eddie-NL for his work & help on my car at the weekend.

He was able to replace my gateway, fit RCD510, Bluetooth module, mic and mk6 climate panel (with loom) in approx the time it would have taken me to remove the original stereo 

It was my first trip to see him, and it deffo won't be my last (trying to source a highline now) 

Highly recommended. Thanks again Ed

He's a good lad our Ed, certainly knows he's stuff.

He's done loads for me and is the first guy I contact if I need work doing.

I've got a set of white dials for sale following the colour cluster Ed sorted for me, if your interested.

Thanks Andy - only just seen your post 

Just got back from Eddie's again - R32 highline clocks and Polar FIS fitting. Awesome change and I cannot believe that I didn't do this sooner 

For owners that don't have a highline - get one asap

HI GarethB
Can i ask did Eddie-NL supplie the mk6 climate panel and with loom ?

Hi Pete,

I supplied the mk6 climate panel (from eBay) and Eddie made up the loom & connected everything up.

I'm a real simpleton when it comes to wiring & electrics, so was thankful that he was able to connect everything up.

Everything works as it should bar a couple of permanent vcds errors (which are nothing to be concerned about) - I've not fitted the Air quality sensor (yet) and the climate panel expects to see a white dot display (from the mk6), which obviously it cannot read on a mk5 (without further changing of the instrument cluster).

If you've any doubts, drop Eddie a pm and arrange a visit. He is based 3 hours from me and I've been twice in a week to see him - he's that good

so do u need the air quality sensor for it to work
the mk6 climate and heated seats should work on the screen of the R510 ?
does it all link up and work on screen

what price did you pay for R510 ?
MK6 Climate is about £45-50
loom ?

thanks for your help and advice pete

No - AQS is not mandatory for the climate to function. It works fine without. However, it will result in an error on vcds (as the panel 'expects' to see the AQS)

Everything works and will show on the screen of RCD/RNS 510 & RNS310/315.

I paid a couple of hundred for an RCD510 dab. Mk6 panel was £50 from eBay. I don't have heated seats, so I'm unsure how much the heated seat versions go for.

I'd recommend pm'ing Eddie for the individual price of his loom, as my price was kinda wrapped up with the price of various work by him. He is very reasonably priced and (imo) it pays to use someone that knows what they are doing.
