I owe you some beer tokens steath!!
I prefer sweeties!  :popcornsoda:

I remember trying to do the pin mod and it was a complete PITA because I didn't have the right tools at hand to get the pin lock undone.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

To be honest had a tiny screwdriver got it off easy, the ariel clips were the hardest for me...

Would you still recommend updating the CAN gateway even if the modded firmware works?

Why? The only reason people seem to be updating the canbus is for the RNS510. If the new firmware has full postcode entry, then I would upgrade both canbus and firmware. But it'd have to be something big or important enough to upgrade IMO.

You could always just save up for it at a later date too.

Yeap i agree the new firmware has gone on OK and just tested the sat nav which works a treat...

Will leave it overnight to check the battery doesnt drain if not all is good and will put my dash back together  :signLOL: :signLOL:

Thanks again for the help...
