Which photo? Can only see reflections...didn't see anything when I looked at the car. Was pretty schmick

[Passat R36]

good, no worries, hows the negotiation?

[kamold]

Just waiting for the money to be transfered, then can arrange to collect, can't wait!

[Passat R36]

Congrats! Sure can't wait!

[kamold]

Settled, pick it up tomorrow! Have to change my sig now...

[Jakeys]

Woot, congratulations! Welcome to the club. I was in your position just a few months ago, enjoy the initial ownership awesomeness!

Congrats mate. Welcome to the R36 club.
I do have just one question though. What is this climatronics upgrade that you are all talking about? What's the advantage of this?

[kamold]

Details are here: VWVortex.com - OEM MKVI Climatronic on a MKV on a RNS-510 Screen installed.
It's purely aesthetic, I have the newer panel in my Skoda and just prefer the look of it...

[kamold]

It's home!

[snerlo]

Noice!

[Passat R36]

well done, as new

[kamold]

Had a quick spin around the burbs after 10 as I only got to drive home in traffic.
Very happy

Have only updated the RNS firmware and maps so far (was running original 0900, and v5 maps)

Will install my Mobridge BT module tomorrow. Will try and get a chance to give her a proper clean after the weekend (have a lot on, plus I need to fix the carport sensor which is fubar and turns the lights off after about 30 secs despite being set to 10 mins)

LEDs galore are ordered for parkers, interior, puddles, footwells.
I already have some excellent 6000k D1S globes I want to install (have them in the Octy), but from what I understand its a bit of an ordeal, have to take off the bumper??
WTF?

In the Octy the headlamp assembly in its entirety slides out on rails and you can access all globes on the bench.

Am tempted by these DRL/indicators, have asked the seller for more details on fitment: NEW arrival VW R36 led drl daytime running light super bright with dimmer function and yellow turn light function-in Daytime Running Lights from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

I'm keen to see how you go with the interior LED's mate. That is my next mod but haven't had a chance to scope them out. Check out some of the threads that I have started about some of the mods that I have done to mine. They might inspire you.
I just found out that one of my LED parkers has busted after a very short time so I have to order some more!! Pain, but I guess that's how things go!!
Those DRL's are interesting. I searched for days around the net and found the best ones that were going to look any good were the ones that I installed in one of my threads. That listing and the other one that is a link at the bottom of that page are are very interesting and I am extremely interested. I have sent them an email asking what the difference is due to the price gap but I suspect it is the different functions that you can do. I might be upgrading!! I've got at least two mates that will more than likely be up for these as well!! Might be a good group buy!!

[kamold]

Ok will keep that in mind.
I think the difference is that the better set dim the drl on the side that indicator is on like oem, and also dim when headlights are on
