Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Problem with GPS signal with Carplay

    I recently had an altercation with the garage door and ripped the fin antenna from the roof. It's been at the panel beaters for a month! By the time they repaired the roof, obtained a replacement fin and reset the GPS. In case you're wondering what damage you can do when the garage door starts coming down at precisely the same time you reverse up to the fin, here's what it looks like.

    So the VW GPS Navigation appears to be working fine however when I connect any iPhone to Apple Carplay using a cable, it's showing completely incorrect location - like 5km away. I've read that as soon as you connect to Carplay, the iPhone obtains GPS from the vehicle. Weird that internal GPS is fine but iPhone is not. Any ideas?
