I scored a Tiquan deal thread

[DJY]

The change to the RNS510 is an anti climax I'm afraid. It's insanely easy and took a whole 10 min. Very simple and the results are great. Loaded the maps and it just worked. Will play with VAGCOM tomorrow to see what settings I can change.

What about changing the aerial?
From the stock one to the sharks fin?

I thought the GPS side of the house used the sharks fin?

Anyone know how much Bluetooth is for the Tiguan as a option?

I paid $700 I think from memory.
I'm traveling but can check my invoice when I get home if you like.
$700 is the basic model - allows you to answer and hang up calls via steering wheel - uses hidden mic and speakers.

Works well for me so far with my iPhone 3G - but haven't been able to pair my work Nokia yet.

They will use a RCD510 from a 147TSI who the owner upgraded to a RNS510 at the dealer. So I'm getting a RCD510 nobody wants for almost nothing ...... price yet to be determined but expected to be only a few hundred $$$ if even that.

Gee Lucky you, these are many hundreds of dollars on ebay. Any one wishing to flog their RCD 510 let me know.

Thanks for that, might have to see if it can still be put on the order.

Just spoke to the Dealer and they said that the Bluetooth gets installed here in Aus not in the factory.

Anyone else heared different?

[DJY]

Mine was dealer fitted.

Sunroof

I am looking to buy 125 TSI soon,
Not sure if i want the sunroof. Nice and big but worry about the heat/UV.
the salesman did say it is 99%UV filter and minimum difference with the standard one.
Could anyone who has purchased a Tig with a sunroof post some opinion?
Brisbane gets lots of sunshine.

thanks in advance.

I'd get in there and order it sooner rather than later .... 25% of Austral's sales (Brisbane) have been Tiguans lately and the waiting list is out at 6 months now and the 125s are the most popular at the moment.

To get 1 sooner you'd have to take an unallocated 1 (with whatever is on it) on its way already as they have no stock of 125s and even so there are very few unallocated ones left .....

When the car interior is hot and you can actually open the sunroof the heat can escape very quickly when you open the sunroof. So from that point the sunroof is beneficial.

I initially wasn't fazed about getting the sunroof...
until I test drove a car with one in!!!

WOW
Go check one out if you haven't seen it!
It is huge - and stretches all the way back.
There is tinting on it...
there is an electronic blind that you can use internally to block extra sun.

Whilst I have only had mine for a couple of weeks and it is winter...
I love it!
It makes the Tiguan seem a lot lighter in side...
the tilt on the front half of the glass doesn't open up as much as I would have liked... but when you open the front half - at any of the sections - WOW.
Huge wow factor, and for the few days at work when it was very sunny - I just closed the blind. I'm very glad I got a sunroof in mine!

[dogbowl]

DJY, I am with you. Actually, I have never found sunroofs particularly interesting. Then I drove a Tiguan with one fitted. Incredible!

It is not really a sunroof, it is actually glass roof extending all the way through. I also think it will help resale.

I am ordering in the next few days, but have been quoted 4-5 months wait.

[Pullstarter]

That's a pretty normal length waiting period for most orders, you may find something similar either in stock or on the way but you would probably have to compromise with your options/colour choices etc.

[dogbowl]

I'd rather wait to get the car I want.

Also, MY10 models began production in May, so my order will have the minor MY10 upgrades.

Tiguan Sunroof

Thanks for the comments on my Sunroof question.
I did do a test drive and it is fantastic.

From what everyone is saying, I am pretty sure that it is a very good option to have.
If it is too hot, I might tint it.

The sales reps in bne did mention that the maximum disc they can give is $3.5k off the RRP. M still negotiating.
