canbus decoder ?
« on: July 04, 2015, 07:12:59 pm »
Hi guys does anyone know if these canbus decoders really work.
I want a new stereo but ive been put off by all the storys of battery drain if u have a car with the older canbus. I have a 56 plate golf gti, and no access to vagcom.
These stereos claim to have a built in canbus decoder.

Does anyone know if this is the case.

Bump....
I'd also like to know if this would work as I can't for the life of me find my gateway on my car

Above the clutch pedal, above the accelerator, seems well hidden! Spent an hr looking for it on Sunday
