I would not be satisfied with that resolution. Even if you're a low-conflict type personality I'd still suggest a polite call in to our state's AG office.
I just posted that request in the thread.I've owned a Vag-com for years but never joined the forum. Might join just to ask the OP if they could get us an adaptation map...

hahahah that's what i need.Really, you're not messing with electronics; if you're comfortable with VCDS and have ever installed a car stereo in any car, you can do this.
(*caveat: assuming you have a happy relationship with your friendly neighbourhood VW dealer, and a tech there who's geeky enough to go off-script and figure stuff out. )
Did you ever get the 8" trim in brushed silver. Was it for the 8" matte or glass display? Just wondering if they made a brushed silver or aluminum bezel for the 8" glass display.So Jack is on vacation until the 2nd of June, which means my AID is on hold until sometime that week at the earliest, depending on when he is available. It's always tough catching up after a vacation so it may end up being the second week of June.
Have not heard from either of the vendors in Europe about the 8" screen trim that I have on order in brushed silver. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I may place the order for all black trim pieces, and peel off my first-ever vinyl wrap job on the AID bezel.
I'm pretty sure I read that the trim piece that runs across the passenger dash will pop out if pulled hard enough so it can be replaced. But I know door panel pieces are plastic welded in and not really replaceable. I'm concerned with how a mix of trims will look although the steering wheel and e-brake are already gloss black. If I leave the dashboard trim piece (and of course the door panels) brushed silver it would give me a semi complete beltline all the way around the inside of the car which might look okay.
Thoughts?

Mine is also staying sometimes for days in the garage (about 40-45F when it's between 20-30F outside) without starting. But I don't have that issue. What it does, though, takes longer till first crank (push button and wait for maybe 2-3s to crank but then fires up right away) but I assume that's normal.Probably nothing to do with nothing, but as long as we're talking glow plugs...
(Just a reminder that I have KESSY, so no way for me to "pause" at the "on" position before turning all the way to crank the starter.)
The last few months here (West Coast Canada), my car has seemed to take much longer to fire first thing in the morning, and much longer if it sat for longer - often I don't drive it for a week or more. Like, the engine would crank maybe 3-4sec. before catching.
Once it started, though, any subsequent starts were near-instant.
But lately, it's cooled off here (below 10C / 50F) most of the day, so there is a pause now while the glow plugs cycle, and then the engine turns over and fires immediately.
Nothing to do with the CEL (I think?), but just odd that my car would have trouble starting on a 20C/70F day, and start super-easy on a 5C/40F day.
Do you have a link to the brushed aluminum vinyl that matched pretty closely?As far as I know they do not make brushed silver for the 8" glass display, the only option is gloss black. I did end up receiving two sets of brushed silver for the 8" matte display.
I found brushed aluminum vinyl that is a pretty close match to the stock trim and I used that to wrap the AID trim. It's close enough that I don't even notice anymore. I didn't do as nice a job on the curves as I would like though, it was my first time wrapping anything. So at some point I'll probably take it to a shop and have them wrap it, should be a quick and inexpensive job.
