Great upgrades! :drinking:

I'd recommend getting in the Group Buy that DamoP is organizing to buy the Bold Sport's mk6 climate control panel with frame kit. :wink:

Cheers  :drinking:

To be honest as soon as I saw it in place even without the surround and working with the RNS I was sold. I was going to join the group buy but I had this panel off Ed straight away as I know it works, just waiting for the surround and wiring loom to come now, then getting it fitted  :jumping:

I think this MAY be my last mod of the year with xmas coming up...but I am pretty tempted by rear footwell lights though  :innocent: There's just so many little things you can do to these things that improve it so much!

I thought Eddie had brought his control panel for test purpose only, but of course if he was selling it I wouldn't hesitate to buy it from him as well. I got mine very similarly, as I was at my friend's garage fitting the door warning lights and he had a couple of control panels (and the rest of the parts needed to upgrade from manual AC to climatronic :surprised:, as he already made that upgrade to his Golf), so I asked about what would it cost me to fit the mk6 AC control panel and it was pretty cheap. When my wife saw the dash that day without the frame she was WTF? :signLOL:

I ordered the windows and fuel chrome switches that I think will be the last mod this year. Next year will finally get some new wheels. :jumping:

To be honest I thought it was only for test when he came over but when he offered it to me I couldn't say no  :signLOL:

Had another visit from Ed on Sunday morning as my trim had turned up for the climate panel so that could be sorted. Many thanks @Eddie-NL for your help...again  :pomppomp: I'd have stood no chance doing this properly, I didn't realise how many pins needed swapping on my car for the motors to work properly. The RNS510 video in motion was also coded while the trim was swapped out so that's another little party trick it has and can also be used to keep certain passengers quiet on long journeys  :happy2:

Here's how it looked before.



And here's how it looks now. SO much better!







Now I need to figure out what to do next hehe :party:

Looks really good with the mfsw and the mk6 cc panel. I love all the retro-fits you can do with the mk5 golf...and the rest of the vag range for that matter lol.

Nicely done! :happy2:

Initially I used to copy my music to the HDD of the RNS-510, then I got a 32 Gb SD card and have all my music in the card. Easier to update. :wink:

Looks awesome - just need to add a cherry red hazard to finish off the dash!

Ed helped me out with the wheel after work one day along with a few other bits, didn't take him long at all  :happy2:

Yea that one is certainly tempting me! Thinking the next lot of mods will have to be in the new year now though  :sad1:
