What have you done to your CC Today?

[dunners]

Added DAB+ the other day, it's a new Dension DAB+ U unit that connects to the factory MDI unit via USB.
It works well and you control the unit via the RNS, radio station names display on the screen but song names don't.

Very interested in this
Whered you get it and for how much..?

I got it from Complete Options located near Springvale, Melbourne. The unit was $280, $60 for the antenna and $80 to install the antenna.

The unit is a Dension DAB+ U unit, if you're interstate the dension site lists all the Aussie resellers around the country.

One issue I have with it is reception, it isn't too bad but the antenna they installed is a passive unit. I'm going to obtain the Dension Amplified one and give that a go. Best is always external but that's a bit more work to install but might go that way if the windscreen ones are no good.

Sounds good, let us know how you go, and how much of a difference the new anntena makes.

Decided it was about time that I changed my rotors, was sick of the wheel shudder under heavy braking. New front and rear DBA rotors, just went with OEM replacement because it's a street driven car and slots would just be for bling.

Replaced damaged parts on driver's side wing mirror.

Also ordered all new lighting for the car too. DRL/indicator lights to replace standard indicators, all new LED lights for parkers, standard DRLs and corner lights. Currently searching the internets for custom LED tail lights - if you know of any that are a similar design to the face lifted CC then let me know!

[rjt86]

Nice one, make sure the led's are canbus supported with the resistors built in or In line resistors or you'll get the bulb out errors.

I've looked for aftermarket led tails and can't seem to find anything, you could install the facelift led tails if you change the rear bumper. I ended up buying the led kit from eBay which has canbus led's for every bulb in the rear, it looks much better then the standard globes.

I'm also interested to know if anyone found any after market led tail lights.

[seanmau5]

Thanks for the heads up, I'm all over it! Was quite difficult to find CANbus LED's in the colour I wanted, just had to buy some and hope they'll match the bi-xenon headlights.

I read about that, and I love the tails on the facelift but not sure if I really want to change the rear bumper too.

[rjt86]

No stress, yea the face lift tail light upgrade is a bit of work. Wait for someone to rear end you lol.

On another note on topic: Gavin came down from Brisbane yesterday and flashed my Ecu and DSG, the Ecu was flashed with as stage 2 with a ERG delete preformed. Everything went really well and Gavin is a top guy. Low end torque is significantly better and it's just brought the whole car alive.

Where is Gavin from? I'm waiting on a DNA tune but apparently there is issues with their equipment? Makes a big difference?

Gavin works with Custom Code.
Long time forum member and all around great and helpful guy.

Thats right, I highly recommend Gavin & Custom Code. The tune has made a fair bit of a difference power & torque wise. He's from Brisbane but he will probably visit you in Sydney if you organise it.

Gavin actually reads each individual ECU & DSG, sends it off to Custom Code in the UK who then makes the changes, and then Gavin flashes it back. Most others provide a generic tune or don't even flash the DSG at all, which won't allow you to take full advantage of the extra torque.

As a bonus It seems to have decreased fuel consumption, at the moment the trip comp is reading 0.7L/100km less that what i usually average, i'm at half a tank at moment so will need to finish this one up to see how it really goes.

I didn't end up changing out the glass antenna as yet, i've just put up with it.

One of those Shark OEM replacements with DAB is the way to go tho and this is what i'll be looking at next.

I can probably arrange a trip to Sydney in the New Year if you don't get fixed up with DNAtuning.

Hi Gavin,

I'm interested in the TDI chip tune. I'm in Sydney as well... How much would cost to flash the ECU and DSG?
Thanks...

$849 each for Phase 1. Output depends on which engine you have obviously, I am not familiar with you Passat guys but if you go to Home | Custom Code | Audi VW ECU Remap Tuning UK you can get some numbers.

That sounds reasonable. Does that include DSG as well?
This is the one for my engine

Are you coming to Sydney anytime soon?

Thanks.
