MY11 T5 - I found the antennas

The problem with bluetooth as far as I have experienced is that the head unit will only lock onto one phone it cannot accept connections from two at the same time so it would be pot luck which one gets the nod first , and usually if one locks on its a task to then discconect the paired one and then pair the other . Our Chinese units use the Igo nav software it is quite comprehensive as also has speed limits shown on screen as you move through different speed zones and it gives you a spoken warning if you go over the limit . One bonus is you have the option of setting the speed warning with a percentage allowance handy if you speedo is not accurate . The GPS also stores its trips as well plus you can set the directions to /fast /easy /direct it also allows you to input fixed speed cameras with the direction they are on the road and also add new ones as the rozzers install new ones . Trip computer is also handy along with lots of other data to use to be quite honest the GPS in these Chinese head unit is worth the $360 on its own .The other feature which is handy is you can set a destination and return to another function so while you are listening to CDor DVD or Bluetooth the GPS keeps working in the background and will cut in at way points turns etc . It even has a picture in picture function so if you are in navi you can have a small window with the DVD playing or turn it off . Howard

MY11 Caravelle... will take a look or more the dealer can perhaps.... it has just never been good. But I did check out another one in the lot one day (they ordered in the same colour as ours but non painted bumpers) to see if it was the same... and appeared to be so. Just weird that I can grab a smaller car like a passat etc and reception is heaps better. Better head unit in them too I guess.

If you access the diagnostic menu on an RCD/RNS you can get info on the signal gain. You might need to turn this setting on in vagcom first however. Hold the setup menu down and it flicks to the Radio Info screen if it is enabled.
