So after reading manual for my stereo it states the factory option usb which is located where mine is. So instead of thinking someone has modded here I thought this may be factory fitted and hook up to stereo.

When sticking a USB in it states press the CD button which will allow you to select the USB and play music. This does not seem to work on mines as cannot see USB anywhere.

Anyway know what maybe wrong?

I think you have to press the CD button twice. I have to do that for it to link to the iPod in the armrest

I have to say I have owned the ED30 now for a few months and do not regret my choice one bit. And it makes it even better after going with the DSG model as makes it feel so much sportier.

I think I would have still enjoyed the R32 but possibly would not have felt as special as owning the Limited Edition model :)

Also was a nice bonus finding out it seemed to have had a remap and is producing at least 270bhp if not nearer 300bhp but need to get it on a rolloing road and confirm

I have owned both cars R32 was obviously 4wd and had about 275 bhp.
My Edition 30 that I currently own is miles better in many ways.
Tuned to 360bhp and does not loose traction. It handles just as well as the R32 possibly better due to coilovers fitted. It's a DSG model and has far
More attention than the R32 as they are far more common.
Plus the edition 30 will hold more money in the long run.
Plus I love the turbo that the R32 never had.

It's a really expensive job but a limited slip differential totally transforms these cars. You won't get all the cost back at resale but the car may attract a small premium. If you're in for long ownership consider it.  :happy2:

Gone but not forgotten :-)

say if I was to buy a r32 and everything is completely stock how much do you think it would cost to fit a turbo in there. Seen one on piston heads for 19k with turbo way too much. If I can have a turbo and all the supporting mods in there for under 5k I'm in  :smiley:

Not much chance of that unfortunately. 5K will get you a Stage 1 TRD Supercharger (without factoring in all the other 'bits' you need).

no point in spending around 10k+ for a turbo on r32 then rather get the mk6 r, s3 or evo x then. I know none of those are v6 but much cheaper to tune.
