For you '11 to '14 model year guys in here, go get your driver's airbag replaced. Another recall announced.

Yeah, saw the airbag bit today. At least they aren't Takata! I think it will take a couple weeks for them to start contacting people, looks like they have to get things in order, and it's VW, so it may take a while....

And the water pumps, that's a sore subject for a lot of people in the 2.0T world. Seems to affect the CBFA (cali emissions) engines much more than the CCTA engines though.

So I bit the bullet today and offered an 8" Android head unit. Looks pretty nice, hopefully it does what I want. I want Waze in my dash, which this will definitely do. I will set up a tasker profile so my hotspot turns on as soon as the Bluetooth connects, so I will always have data available. Beyond that, the stock head unit pisses me off when listening to audiobooks. It has a "gentle fade" when listening over Bluetooth, presumably to avoid loud jolts as you go from total quiet to sound. That works fine for music, as there isn't typically a long enough quiet pause to trigger that fade in. But with audiobooks, it is always clipping off the first word or two of sentences after a slight pause. Gets really damn annoying. Doesn't do it through the aux in, but I don't want to plug in my phone all the time, and that defeats the whole Bluetooth calling thing. So if I get waze and happy audiobook time, Brad happy.

Torque Pro and Google play music in the dash is a bonus.

Got the Joying JY-VQ122, direct from the manufacturer for a little less than 400.

I will post pics when it comes...

Welcome. Looks like we're Norcross neighbors.

Haven't seen any white GTIs around lately except for at Autobahn performance on Buford HWY.
