Hi and welcome im also a newbie on here! Nice head unit you got what make model is it? Cheers

[ConorGTI]

Yeah it is slightly hazed, will find a better condition one when I get round to it! Rubbed abit of t-cut on and that cleared it up abit! @r5gtt. Where did you get your   Lights from? I'm not sure on xenons with the coding and that?? Or is it a straight swap? New too all this    hmm we'll see what happens @Chris92! Like the little devils in the ear

@ashvag0 it's a iXA-W407BT pretty good for hands free too. Just not sure how to get the satnav up and running??

[ConorGTI]

Welcome to the crazy forum full of fun fun and cursing  only kidding 

Very nice car but headlights need ditching 

 

What's wrong with them?

Nothing as far as standard GTI headlights go.. Not sure why they need ditching at all

Standard headlights are fine mate.

I like them too

@ConorGTI mine are aftermarket depo ones I purchased off a forum member  ad I didn't like the look of them. sold both oem ones after fitting my xenons one on ebay £45 & the other to a forum member so got £80 back for them 
Xenons can be coded in simple just find someone local to you with vcds or buy your own one and instructions can be found all over the Web. I didn't do mine and never had a problem although when I went to program them months later, they were already set to xenon shutters off.

That's not bad at all, they do make the car look better! Not an immediate thing to change for me right now though. Vcds could be a good investment though?

Vcds is a must for all vag owners 

[ConorGTI]

Yeah I didn't like it at first @ashvag0  but it's really grown on me, love it! Also found a remote for it the centre consol  why you'd need a remote I don't know???

I have no clue about these @r5gtt where would I get one from and how much are they? Where do they plug into?  I'm novice with this stuff

[r5gtt]

@ConorGTI it's easy mate, online instructions and help from forum members makes its well worth having.
I've had one for 5 years plus with my Audi tt and now got the updated one for the tfsi as the older version didn't work.

There's a genuine one for sale in the forsale section but I paid £45 for mine from Australia a company called Totalcardiagnostics and it's well worth the price but sorry it's a clone version. This forum dont like clones.
