Post by: HDautos on September 21, 2012, 08:51:15 pm: The sat nav, maps and HDD seems to only work when it wants too. Most of the time HDD is not lit up and the sat nav says insert DVD disc. Guessing I may need to update it?

Title: Re: HD Autos Tornado Red MK5 GTI
Post by: JoeDarKa on September 22, 2012, 09:51:14 am: Im not sure but i doubt an update will sort out the rns issues. Sounds like a hardware problem! I will probably be wrong though

hardware problem, that dosent sound good....
Title: Re: HD Autos Tornado Red MK5 GTI
Post by: Scrappydo on September 23, 2012, 10:15:23 am: Soory, can't help with the hardware prob but just wondered whether the unit is a straight swap for the original i.e. does it fit directly into the vacated space and plug directly into the existing wiring or are there any mods to do first?? Thinking of getting one when the funds allow!!
Title: Re: HD Autos Tornado Red MK5 GTI
Post by: JoeDarKa on September 23, 2012, 11:37:20 am: Mine was just plug and play. I would change the firmware and see if that sorts it first or put a post up in the sat nav area and see what others say
Title: Re: HD Autos Tornado Red MK5 GTI
Post by: HDautos on September 24, 2012, 09:16:33 pm: Yes i think the bra will be going only used it that weekend.

Ive posted up about the RNS510 but no replys as of yet.

Thanks for the nice comments :)

Post by: HDautos on November 06, 2012, 08:12:20 pm: Finaly got the private plate on now and then a bolt on the engine mount snaps so its back in the garage being repaired :(

I have a cat back non res Milltek system sat in the garage waiting to be fitted once i get her back!

Few pictures of it with my Lupo GTI the day before the Lupo went to its new owner.
