Picked up a bog stock VRS Wagon brand new recently. I think both backpacks look average at best as the wagon rides to high and the wheels are quite sunken in. I was looking into ebiach 20mm lowering Pro-kit springs and H&R spacers but got scared it would stuff my 5 year warranty and rim insurance but that's another story. I will however be getting the Bluefin Superchips tune box (unlike the dodgy TDI one's it actually controls boost and spark along with fuelling) as it can be removed for serving. A modest 51nm gain and 30hp but DSG will electronically limit the engine to 400nm. The more aggressive ARP / DNA / Revo ECU flashes are moot unless you're running a manual IMO because of that limit. I used ARP reflash of the DQ250 gearbox in my TDI Golf MK6 once which removed the 400nm limit but after a year it started to develop issues getting into reverse... I digress.
That all said, a few things confuse me about the car, firstly the purpose of wifi. Smart link requires the USB cable even though Apple Car play supports wifi connection. The headhunt can either connect to a wireless network, OR act has a wireless router that devices can connect to. It can do both at once, presumably so occupants can all connect to the headunit and in turn it connects to another device for internet, a bit of a guess there.
The navigation can't use the internet for traffic updates, smart link / car play doesn't utilise wifi to sync (it really should though). It can't download updates so far as I know, and the dealer didn't know it even had wifi. What am I missing here? So much potential yet such a useless feature.
Secondly, no pitch adjustment on the seat? Surely it's not just me who finds an annoying gap between the seat and the underside of my knees/thighs? thinking of putting washers under the front seat mounts.
Thirdly, I'm thinking of getting the auto-boot struts and hoping I can program the boot open on the key with VAG-COM VCD. I realise I wouldn't have the boot button on he dash, or the button on the boot itself but it would be handy if I can get just the key to auto / open / close the boot. Anyone know if this is possible?
As a matter of interest, anyone lowered their car yet? thoughts?
