lol, right, I shouldn't complain about sub-par communications, on a repair job that should not be required on a car with 51k miles. Give me a break. I would've arranged my day differently, and would not have to take as much time off work had they simply said yesterday morning that it was...

Thanks guys. My biggest beef is that the service rep said that I'd be picking up the car later in the afternoon on Monday. IMO, they should've known if it was going to take more than a day to do much sooner than 8 hours into it, and sent me on my way with a loaner. If they had figured it out...

After waiting the better part of the day near and at the dealership, I was told that the job won't be finished today because of the extensive testing VW requires for this. My BS meter is elevated. As I mentioned above, this was quoted to me as a 7 hour job. Can anyone who had this done chime...

Well, I've had a fairly trouble free time with my 2010 JSW (the only issue off the bat were bad wiring/connections from the antenna to the radio), and about to finish up the 5 years of payments for it. A few days ago, check engine light came on, steady on, not flashing. Had friend come by with...

@Polak, never used anything like vagcom or vcds on the car. The car's been serviced by VW for the 3 "free" scheduled maintenance, as well as some radio/antenna issues early on. @Tweak3D, I'm down in SW WA. Portland metro area. About 2.5 hours from Seattle.

Something weird happened yesterday afternoon. I had locked my 2010 JSW, went inside, and came back out. Unlocked the doors, and all the windows started rolling down(!). Ok, go through the menus, turn that off, but now, the turn indicators (even the ones on the mirrors) are flashing after I...

So my issue was finally resolved. The service folks first thought I needed a new radio, so I waited for that to come in. Got the call earlier this week, brought it in yesterday, and they ended up NOT replacing the radio, as that didn't fix it. They traced the problem to poor connections to...

Not sure how long the AM has been kaput, I've had my 2010 JSW TDI for few months, and I just tried to tune to an AM radio station. Did not work. Tried scanning, radio picked up 0 (zero) stations. I live in an metro area, so that didn't seem right. Tried FM, it works. SAT works (not too well...

My 2010 JSW TDI threw a CEL yesterday, with about 4400 miles since late Oct'09. I waited around for a while, and got the service desk to call back to the service area to see what the code was. At that time, the tech said it was in German, and showed no "P" code, and they were on the tech line...

Awesome! Glad it went well for you. I do have to ask: where/how did you start in getting the panel around the radio off? Is there a good place to start? Thanks!

Ok, I got my retro fit kit in my hands now, the instructions are NOT model specific, I suppose they expect whoever gets this kit to have the model's service manual, which I don't have, has anyone here added this in to their 09/10 JSW? Where do I start on getting panels off the front console and...

You might try Larson in Tacoma. Better yet, just let your fingers do the work, and negotiate online through email if you must deal with "local" dealers. Less frustrating that way, and saves fuel. I worked with a Seattle area dealer earlier in the year, and I think it might have been Larson...

Here's my per tank MPGs so far, taken on a cross country drive from Langhorne PA (thanks Chris!) to the Portland Metro Area: 43.9 39.2 37.5 39.5 The later tanks had higher avg. speeds due to higher speed limits across the mid-west, so mileage was lower. Didn't include the first tank, as I'm...

I just picked up my new TDI JSW from Chris last Tuesday, and got home this past Saturday. Chris was awesome, from working with me earlier this year trying to track down a '09, to ordering a '10, letting me know when the car is in production, on the boat, etc. Thanks again Chris!

I ordered one this past June because the 2009s dried up. I went through Chris @ VW of Langhorne, and its been at the dealer for about week now. I'm flying out to pick it up in another week or so. I suggest you contact Chris if you can't get anyone local to work with you. Check out his thread...

Is the Aux input coming from a cable that plugs into a MDI plug/cable? Like this: If so, you can get different cables to hookup USB thumbdrives/non-ipod music players and ipods themselves: http://www.1stvwparts.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=mdi&x=0&y=0

Interesting, so in the '09, you had a USB jack standard, or did you need to order the nav to get it? I'd much rather use a USB stick than a ipod, cheaper, and its not Apple ;)

So what do you get in the console if you don't have the MDI-ipod option? I didn't order the option for my 2010 TDI JSW because the only MDI option is for ipod, and I just want the USB one. I thought, perhaps mistakenly, that the "standard" was a USB interface.
