Not the one above  :confused: the one Ive got has a double connection the the back of the head unit and a single which connects onto one of the existing wires.  Plus its alot thicker.

You have the wrong one then

so i can get rid of this one, then unclip the existing wires, or one at least then attached them directly with tape...

The unit shuts down on a time delay, so wont fully power down until x minutes after the ignition is turned off you can also hear the cooling fan after a long run.  This is the reason why certain cars get battery drain as the unit doesnt fully switch off as the communication with the can gateway doesnt work correctly.  Since you had the newer version gateway you shouldnt have an issue.

You will know if the unit has fully shut down as you will get the splash screen (VW logo) the next time you boot it up if you havent been away for too long the unit will instantly fire back into life, something like putting a laptop into sleep mode.  :happy2:

Rightly so mate, enjoy it, I can't believe how good it is, it started telling me about traffic problems on my journey, yet I wasn't even using the sat-nav as such, I was just driving home from work, and lo and behold, a traffic jam just after my turn off!

Top top radio, I'd recommend it to ANYONE, skip the RCD and go straight for the RNS!

No VW Logo when i turned it back on after sitting for 5hrs,just came back on like a laptop coming out of sleep.

I'm now worried its not shutting down properly,could it be a setting in VAGcom that needs changing on
the can bus ? if so can someone tell me what it is so i can run it up to my friend.

Did it start shutting down properly or did you get a new gateway/change software?

Nah it was fine, due to a warranty can bus replacement just before I owned it, I didn't need to
Change it thank god  :jumping:
I kept leaving the unit on radio when I switched the car off and
You won't get a splash screen from leaving it on radio as that can come on instantly and doesnt
Require the use of the HDD.

Plus if you unlock the car and open the passenger door on a quiet road,lean over open the drivers door from inside you will
Hear the unit begin to boot up if it's working properly


I should of updated this post really  :signLOL:

if your can gateway is located like mine,behind the little cupboard.

its easier to change if you go from the top under the bonnet,
there is a removable plate just underneath the wiper blade motor mate  :happy2:
