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,

  • Wheelers Tiguan

    Hi All,

    New 147 is now in Brisbane and I should be taking delivery in the next couple of weeks.

    As I'm now starting to receive goodies for my "Mod Box", I thought I should start up a thread to track my progress and share pics etc.

    The box of goodies I have purchased so far:

    RNS510 LED Version C (With *) Video in Motion software upgrade applied by seller
    RNS510 Australian V3 Maps DVD - seller supplied with unit (burnt copy)
    Ross Tech Micro VAGCOM (VCDS) Cable (From Dub Addiction)
    OEM Sharan Antenna Replica (From Dub Addiction)
    OEM VW Torch (Charge via Cig Lighter)
    OEM Tiguan Alloy Scuff Plates

    Thinking of grabbing the Ziza 3 Pack LED Kit (Citilights,Side Markers, Lic plate)
    Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Motion 2.0T > Lighting > LED > ES&#35;252858 Ziza LED 3 Pack Combo - Buy Together And Save! - ZZAKIT3

    Then hoping to run the LED City-lights/parkers as DRL's

    So for now it is just a waiting game...

    Stay tuned

    Would have to say those LEDs are pricey! Up there with APR.

    Besides, sidemarkers are an US thing and not for the rest of world.

      Yeah they are pretty exxy, Id rather pay for error free LED's though.

      Thanks for the heads up RE the side markers. Ill just grab the 2 pack now.

          There is a Diagnostic tool that is available (Costs about $1k for the kit) that applys a software level change (firmware upgrade friendly) that allows you to have Video in Motion without killing your speed to RNS signal, meaning you ge tthe best of both worlds.

          The EBAY seller I purchased it from applied the VIM upgrade to all units before sending them out.

          More info on the tool they use is here CarEQO - RNS 510 Service Tool and Video In Motion Tool

          I believe I read a post the other day from Transporter saying that he is looking at getitng one of these RNS Diag tools so her can apply the patch for a cost. Going rate is abut $70 per upgrade.

          EDIT: : Link to Transporters post referenced above

            Re: vim

            Pretty sure this stops your car being roadworthy and then technically voids your comprehensive insurance... So the last thing I would do is put it in writing

            Btw how much did u pay on eBay?

              Are you able to share more info in regards to your statement RE VIM voiding comprehensive insurance? is this based on experience?

              RE how much I paid on EBAY: paid $899 for unit plus $75 shipping - agreed with seller to supply a copy of the V3 DVD incase I wanted to upgrade the FW in the future and needed to reload the maps.
