Now I have to get motivated and Nanolex the wheels.

Definitely!

Should've done this first whilst wheels were relatively clean and brand new!

It's a real b!tch to remove the brake dust and have the wheels absolutely cleaned enough to apply the Nanolex.

The longer you leave the more effort is required (if you want it applied properly and with maximum effect)!


Also have to decide whether you're gonna be anal enough to prep and coat the inside of the wheel?

Definitely going to the inside of the wheel. Problem is how time consuming it will be, hence my procrastination on this task. That said, I'll get it done ASAP. Thanks for your advice.

This is a re-post from the RN510 thread as I still need an answer please.

Question to the wise. I have the factory fitted RNS510 and have copied via SD card my music collection. I converted it to mp3 format prior to doing this. The music plays however, each time I open a folder to play it, it states words to the effect "can't read file". It then proceeds to cycle through each song before it plays normally.

I can stop the car and resume playing from the same folder and this process does not occur. However, the same process occurs again when I go to a new folder. How can I fix this?

I apologise if this has been covered before.

Sorry i can't help with this one.
I just have it all stored in teh root directory of the SD card and it works fine from there.

What bit rate did you use when you converted your files? Do you have the ownér's manual for the RNS510? if not you can download it from the Skoda portal, the link is in the Skoda section (the radio is called Columbus but it is the RNS510).

They are all varied but all under 320kps, with the majority being 160kps. The same process occurs whichever song I select regardless of the bit rate. I have the manual, however, it has not offered any solutions on my reading. Thanks for your help, I'd still love if someone could offer me the solution to this conundrum.

Boot liners. I had one in my 2002 Polo and it was fantastic. I decided not to order this part through the dealer after discovering via this forum the linked website. Can anyone advise if they have purchassed one of these and which one would be the most appropriate for a 2011 Tig.

They talk about a raised load space or raised load space, which is appropriate for our Australian Tigs? I'm guessing the raised as it has to do with the spare tyre?

Yes ... your guess would be right!

Whilst purchasing from UK dealer makes sense most of the times.

It's probably not the case for bulky/heavy items (like boot liner).

But by all means, get a quote for shipping!

If you still go ahead, then I definitely suggest making the most of shipping cost by including some other small items into the order.

Thanks. I'll look into the cost and let you know how I go.

This is the error message I was referring to below.

what firmware do you have on the rns? reason i ask is because i couldnt read sd cards greater than 2gb in mine before upgrading the firmware... now its fine, but i havent had your error message before.

His problem's not with the SD card. The files in question are on his HDD!

I've come across this before and couldn't be bothered fixing it!

Have my music library playing from a classic ipod via MDI with no problems whatsoever!


But if I had to guess, it's something to do with the file name or each folder can't contain too many songs.

Google "folder structure or restriction" for possible solution to problem.

Still haven't resolved my above problem with music playback.

On a side question, should the Tig come with the bottle opener in the centre console between the cup holders? I can feel a grove which I guess is a generic VW part that would allow it to slide into.
