    Auto Dim Rear View Mirror Retrofit Advice

    You need a mirror from a B6 as the only dimming option on the B7 officially was rain sensor as well - which involves a new windscreen too and a lot more faff. The B6 one just dims and fits on the current windscreen bracket.

    Crimp / repair wire question

    Hi all- can anyone confirm which repair wire part number is best friends with a 07D973703 (plug for crank sensor in our BRD B7) ? I'm sure there used to be a guide online with all the combinations... Thanks!

    Stupid drivers door lock question..,

    Yesterday tried keys in the drivers door lock (was re-pairing second key after swapping the battery) but discovered that neither key will actually insert all the way in... Any technical reason or B7 weirdness that anyone has encountered in a similar manner before I investigate deeper ? Cheers...

    Passat fan washer jets poor spray

    I seem to remember I somehow put my spacers on the wrong side so pushed them the wrong way at first - I suppose the test would be if there is a sign of more than usual amount of liquid hitting the bonnet lip? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Glovebox iPod input thingy

    I think it would be a lot of effort to basically fool the head unit into thinking a cd changer is attached. No track names just numbers.

    RNSe Mk 2

    Yep pretty straightforward. As far as I know the TT is the same, yes. There's a decent guide somewhere. I'll try and dig it out. Only issue I had was some very small screws that were made out of cheese (or might as well have been) - when removing the LCD frame.
