    (Former) 9W2 owners rejoice! Class Action Settlement

    And for those saying you'll never buy another VW over this, so be it. You'd rather have a Ford or Chevy, so be it, you tell me if any of them (especially at the 24-25k price point) have any of these features: 1. Fog lamps that come on, in the direction of your slow speed turn to provide...

    (Former) 9W2 owners rejoice! Class Action Settlement

    Don't suppose the folks waiting on the letter to go to the dealership and get theirs installed have gotten theirs yet? I hope we're not too far behind.

    Where to buy OEM mirrors? How much?

    Off topic and probably a stupid question (but hey), why the blue tint, what does that do?

    Bluetooth audio sound quality

    There are applications, like DSP Manager (Android), that allow you to control the output for headset, speaker and bluetooth. I recommend something like this.

    Bicycle rack?

    I have Thule rack system using Aero bars and wind deflector. Bike racks are the Thule Prologue but agree with an earlier poster the Echelon are the way to go (more $$). Also have Yakima fat cat ski attachment and, at least this winter, I averaged 34-35mpg (primarily city driving). Not the best...

    2012 Golf TDI Bluetooth issues

    I have been very fortunate with my experience. I have an Android phone as well and have had great luck, thankfully. I have had pairing difficulty a few times (usually its when I turn BT on, on my phone AFTER I start driving). But, never had dropped connections once connected. Thank goodness.

    Accidental door locking

    Actually, I'm pretty sure I didn't offer any judgment to the OP. :)

    Accidental door locking

    I love how people like to lecture on the wrong/right of something, rather than just answer the question. The car won't lock with the key in the ignition. You can also validate this yourself utilizing your second key for CYA purposes. Interesting about the "sleep" factor. Not heard that one.

    Poor Radio Reception

    Here's a radio oddity for you... a couple of months ago, I am leaving work for the day, get in my car and all of my presets are reset to factory... which is blank! Nothing else was odd... just the radio presets. I called the dealer just to see if they'd heard of any such thing ever happening (as...

    Got my first 700 mile tank!

    Dang, my best mileage is around 38mpg on the HW. Can't deny that's not pretty great, but I want better than this d*mnit.

    Spotify Music on iPhone Through Bluetooth = Great!

    I use Google Music Beta which synchronizes with my iTunes library and I can make available off-line as well (I have an android phone). I use BT and it rocks. I do wish I could control via the RNS-510 like an ipod though.

    Locked out from my Sedan!

    Interesting, I haven't tried with the golf, but when I had my '06 Jetta if the key was in the ignition and running, I couldn't even get the damn car to lock with the spare keyfob. I assume this is the same for the Golf. All that to say, surprised this happened to you. I agree with others, with...

    Coming back to TDI's Need help with MkVI questions

    There is still a keyhole, it's been cosmetically covered with a little cover that you can pop off if necessary. As for the windows, ask your dealer to program the car to allow the raising and lowering of the windows using the keyfob (lock/unlock buttons). You can do this yourself if you have a...

    Low Tire Light ON.. All tires OK !!!

    My TPMS light came on (would blink for 60 seconds then go solid) about a week after dealer installed a sw update. I verified that the tires had proper pressure and just ignored it until my 10k service (manual actually mentions this and says see dealer). The final result: the fault code was for...

    OEM Roof Rack

    For what it's worth, I have installed the Thule Aero bars and bike racks along with the front wind deflector. The only time I've heard any discernible noise is when there is a very strong cross wind (double digit wind speeds). Otherwise, no noise at HW speeds or otherwise. Looks good too.
