Golf R Specifications and Prices

[Man In Black (MIB)]

Went for a test drive today.

Amazing.

On another note i was told by the sales rep that the RVC is not a option on the R!

Anyone?

That's odd. So how do I get TV style imagery on my R's soud system when I reverse??

Some more info on the Recaro seats Dave- do it!

RVC (refered to a "Rear Assist" in some specs) is available. Park Assist is not available. That's where there has been some confusion.

A Bluetooth question I need clarifying- Does this factory fitted MY11 Bluetooth that's $500, is it good to go with Iphones? I have heard mixed responses regarding this. If it's no good for Iphones, what are my Bluetooth options for the Golf R?

[G-rig]

There isn't enough info on it yet to say whether it's good or bad. I'd be tempted not to get it if you can get the VW/Skoda kit for about that much and fitted, but it's a hard one.

The information we have on the MY11 Bluetooth (9ZB) literally says "Generally suitable for all Bluetooth phones".
My dealer mentioned to me that it's basically the same kit which was previously a ~$2000+ dealer fit accessory referred to as "VW Premium Bluetooth". I mentioned that this was known to be an rSAP kit which was not compatible with iPhones (which don't use rSAP), and was told that although that was once the case, it hasn't been for some time and the VW Premium Bluetooth works fine with iPhones.

That's about all we know at this time as far as compatability goes.

that fixes that then!

Hey G-rig They tilt forward but you need to slide the car forward manually using the handle to slide the seat forward when sitting in the seat. Hope that helps.. Cool Seats but If your a big person like me (wide frame footballer) it does not feel to comfy.. cloth seats and leather are perfect if you are any size.. My car has the cloth seats but does not get the seat heaters the Motorsports and the leather gets.. Having met you G-Rig you would be comfy in the motorsports.. to many choices ..lol

Thanks for the info Phillip, they are damn sexy seats, you're not wrong, there are too many choices.

Being European they are be more generous than the Honda recaros at least.

Isn't there an option so you can toggle between camera and OPS on the touch screen (like with park assist + RVC)?

Is your camera factory fit and does the badge open when you engage reverse gear?

Woe, they look perfect.

Should I drop the DYNAUDIO and SAT NAV and go the seats? But damn Ive always wanted sat nav.. Maybe go a 2 door, no Dynaudio and foot the rest. hmmm...

hectic seats. What do you guys reckon they would be worth to get the front 2 after market?

[guest12345]

Why don't you just get the lot? its not that much more money really.

It is a little bit more though..

[guest12345]

Well from what you wrote... either Recaros? or Sav nat/dynaudio?

It is only 3k in it... when you are spending 60k on the car... the more you have the easier to sell later on
