Awesome tip!

One way of getting round that expensive mod to fix it.

Only glitch if found is if you adjust the volume, its turns of the playback, and you have to stop to do the two button trick.

Even so, cheap trick and its Free!!!

Its the button next to the cd eject button on the head unit.  For mine i hold the button for half a sec and then press tone button and i get a bong and its activated

As soon as I press the 'i' button I get some stupid woman talking to me and pressing the Tone button just then takes me to the settings page?

I must be doing something wrong? (says a lot that I can't even press two buttons correctly!!!)  :wink:

^^^^^^Remember to drive off as normal so the black screen appears, then come to a stop, then hit (i) quickly followed by tone and that should do it . :happy2:

This is a great tip, although I'm bound to put the car through a hedge now!

Works a treat...even on my sat nav without the 2660 firmware upgrade.

I have to press the traffic "i" button for a second and then the tone button and the unit gives a dull audible beep.

This is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!  :grin:

I'll have to try it again. I have the old firmware 1100 and tried it several times but it didn't work.

Would have been cool to have Knight Rider playing whilst driving!

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

I had to keep the "i" button pressed for a second, and then whilst holding that down press the tone button.

Upgraded the firmware on my sat nav.  I was really nervous...but it all went ahead smoothly without a glitch.

Got some funky extra features... the shortcut key for the DVD playback hack appears to be a bit more temperamental now though. Got to work out the timing of pressing the buttons...

Has anyone got it to work with v2660 every time?
