    Bluetooth and Blackberry Curve

    My BB Curve 9330 works fine with my 2012 Jetta 513 w/ Nav. Just had to go step by step in the manual. one thing I have found is that there is sometimes interference between the Sirius and the bluetooth. My Sirius stopped working, called them and they sent a "re-activiation" signal several...

    Must have accessories

    I think this is a legit "accessory" question... I saw in a link someone provided about the Pela 6000 oil extractor... it said it only worked for 1999 -2005 Jettas... why won't it work for the MKIV ? (I have a 2012 Jetta). Is there a different model that works for my car?

    Unbelievable!

    Okay... first long trip w/ my Jetta (1000 mile round trip from Maryland to South Carolina and back. On the way down (Good Friday), way too much traffic to give it a fair shake. Lot's so of backups and stop-n-go... but still averaged 42 mpg... Today, on the return trip, I did everything I could...

    Sunroof Issue??

    No... it will only open in the "Vent" position. No rocking of the switch in any direction will close it. It DOES close once I twist it the "slide" open position then twist the other way to close it.

    Maryland-ers ?

    Newbie here.... just bought a 2012 Jetta TDI Premium w/ Nav. I live in Southern Maryland (St Mary's County), but work in Arlington VA, so I am all over the southern half of the state daily. Any other SoMD TDI'r's here?

    Sunroof Issue??

    Thanks for the tip, Mike. After reading your post, I went out and tried it, but still nothing. The "Down" position seems to be dead. likely a wire or something, but since it's new (and not a critical thing, since I CAN get it closed), I will have the dealer fix it. Anyone else have this...

    Sunroof Issue??

    newbie, w/ a new 2012 Jetta TDI Premium. Not sure if this is an issue or not, but the owners manual seems to confirm: Sunroof works in the "slide open/closed" mode fine. It opens in the "vent" position fine, but pulling down on the control does NOT close it (owners manual is vague, but...

    Unbelievable!

    Only had mine for a little while, but I drive tons of miles. I have noticed that if you keep the RPMs between 1600 and 2200, it maximizes the mpg... that's about 50-65 mph in 6th gear, so if you are relegated to those speeds (or the equivalent speeds for lower gears in traffic), I believe it...

    nytimes - The cost of higher fuel economy

    Heard this touted on Rush Limbaugh's show. Thanks for posting the link. I have a friendly "competition" with some friends who own hybrids (2012 Camry, 2012 Escape) that will definitely show this to!

    how much did you pay?

    Same car for the same price, here. Just a week ago! I got mine in Black (only difference). Other options mentioned above are the same. So far I love it, but it's still honeymoon season. The MSRP was $28,877, I paid $26, 075. Also did the 0.9% financing.... only paying $600 for finance...
