Volkswagen Golf/Jetta SAT NAV

This is interesting, and I assume many other AVC9000 units were also effected, although there has not been many posters here.

I still have the antenna off mine, awaiting a new one, so may plug the old one back in tomorrow, and see if it comes back to life. I also note that many of the Europeans using a similar gps chipset, have either installed a patch, or the signal came back on 21st. Otheres are now complaining that the gps cannot hold the time correctly. Will see I guess.

Hi,

Just wondering how you went with your new head unit for your passat. Is it working OK and did you install it yourself or not?

Mate, you've just resurrected a 6 month old thread with nearly 500 posts in it... you may need to be a tiny bit more specific...

Great thread here fellas, very helpful!

Has anyone tried putting one of these things in a T5 Transporter? I've got an 06 1.9TDI..... seen stacks of them on ebay but I'd rather go with a proper shop for the support, especially as Rob sounds very helpful.

Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Pete.

Awfully quiet in here.........

I grabbed an 9000-1 off Rob a few weeks ago after losing the 9000 (courtesy of my bro in law). Must say the 9000-1 is a much better IMO. Agree with others re better fit, better GUI (although it's the same for every source which is a bit boring). Only problem I've had is bluetooth can't access my phone book. Have tried two different phones - no good. It hangs for ages trying to access it, then reports that no records found. Am I not doing something?

BTW, the new digital screen is fantastic. No more problems in daylight. And Rob, as always, is a gentleman to deal with.

I've just installed my 9000-1 and the screen is very reflective in daylight, have I forgotten to remove a film or something, or is there a setting somewhere I need to change ?

It's quite badly reflective during daytime and finger prints stand out a mile.

Thanks

Mate, I heard that gpsunderground is a good source for route 66 stuff, but I like the tomtom better so I've been getting the latest update navcores and maps from this linky....

Good luck and have fun.

i have searched/tinkered/torn my hair out for a good solid 8-10 hours of webtime and am extremely frustrated. Basically, my AVC came with Route66 and TomTom loaded (but no IGO) and out of nowhere my TT just deleted itself.
So i figured i'd try and get IGO up and running, but it just is not co-operating.

So, my question is, does anyone have a file that they could upload to a sharing site or even as a torrent to send me to help? Ideally i'd like to have IGO but would be happy with TomTom.
TIA for the help

How much would you think an installer will charge to fit a double din unit like these?
they've got Luna down in Perth , any other installers recommended that won't throw you out of the store if you didn't buy the unit off them

The 9000 & the 9000-1 are dead easy to install & there are some 'how to' in the forums with great photos to help. I've done 2 with reversing cameras & the hardest part was putting the trim back after running the wires for the camera.

I heard that he has ceased work due to illness either personal or a family member.

Aah, spewin. I was looking for his details also as I need to buy a new iPod cable. Sorry to hear though and hope all gets sorted out for him.
