b j p's R36

[b j p]

Well after looking for an extended period of time for either a black or white low klms, high spec'd R36 wagon at a good price. I finally landed one I'm happy with.

Black MY09 Wagon
Sunroof
Sat Nav
Reverse Camera
Dynaudio
Auto Tailgate

I have been following along everyone else's efforts so now my turn to get in on the action.

It needs a clean, but here is the "just got it home" photo.



Plans at the moment are:

1. Personalised Plates
2. VCDS mods
3. LED upgrades
4. Painted Calipers (blue just looks odd to me)
5. Boot liner
6. Headunit update/ Map updates

Thinking about:
7. Paddle extenders
8. Supertone horn
9. Gruppe M intake
10. Suitcase delete

Good choice Brad.

I've had mine for about a month now and absolutely love it.

Post updates on your mods.

Welcome to the club mate. Nice choice in car! �� where abouts in bris are you so i can keep an eye out. If you wanna get an idea of what black personalised plates look like on a black wagon, let me know. Hopefully catch up for chat one day and i can show you some of my little mods

Replacement parker lights ordered. The stock ones look terrible!

Unless I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't seem to have BT though Has steering wheel "phone" picture and phone on the headunit. But the steering wheel button doesn't seem to do anything and the phone button on the headunit just mutes the music.

Wynnum mate. Would be keen for a catch up/beer and a R36 induction

Plan is just to get black plates with white letters at this stage. Not sure of the combination yet.

[snerlo]

I have black plates with silver writing. The silver sort of looks a little bit nicer against the silver on the car. We sometimes have meets around brisbane. If youre on facebook, look for brisbane euros. Thats where a few meets are listed. Also on this forum too. Im in the indooroopilly area. Yeah i agree with the parkers. If you feel like some reading, check out some of the threads that i have started and that will give you some good ideas and leeds on purchasing things. Im about to get bluetooth put in mine

Hey mate I wasn't sure if mine had bt either but best way to tell I guess is to search through your phone then type in the pin which is 0000 I think. Loving the R36

Looks good!

Keep the blue calipers as Jazz Blue is the official colour of Volkswagen Racing

Also dont you like the horn? Its super loud

[snerlo]

The other way to see if it has Bluetooth is to see if the black box is located under the drivers seat, although in saying that, I have personally seen the fiscon cheap Bluetooth unit installed in behind the headunit in the dash which is a little weird, but that's where it was!!!

Hahha. I'll sit on the calipers for a while and see if they grow on me. Supertone horn may be wank. To be honest, I haven't even sounded the horn yet. Hasn't left the garage since the short drive home. I've read the encyclopedia vehicle manual now though.

Pretty sure the car doesn't have BT, so will sort out getting that done ASAP. Apparently need a 9W7 (~$350).

I have ordered:

Puddle lamps
Turn lightsLicense Plate lights
Interior Lights
DRLs

Snerlo is going to help me fit them all. He just doesn't know it yet

Now to choose some plates. Have a list but... I think naming the kids was easier.

Just a quick update.

Numberplates ordered

Also grabbed a 9W7 BT kit for the RNS510 from Vincent. Peter (vdubmotorworx) made the install look dead easy. The final piece of the puzzle the VagSystems FIS Link should arrive Friday to allow interlink between the Red MFD and BT, as well as use of the steering wheel buttons. Will give an update on how it goes.

[vdubmotorworx]

Will be interesting on how the link goes

So what are you doing on the weekend Pete

[snerlo]

I'm interested to hear about where the canbus gateway module is located!!!
