Pls b kful even install bodykit. here is my story, my father own the vw eos and the chrome grill got cracked after few months he get his car but vw refuse to warranty the part due to my father caracter bodykit. so my conclusion Pls dun modify vw car, it is really hard to claim warranty but no doubt vw car really nice to drive.

Warranty claims are usually like that. Nobody wants to pay, and they will find fault any way they can.

higher version? You mean RCD 310 or 510?

Definitely go for 510....

VW has to give a valid reason for denial of warranty. Or you can take them to consumer tribunal or complain directly to VGM. DId they explain how instllation of a kit caused the grill to crack?

but to be honest, i doubt u can claim warranty for a crack grill, the service centre just gave a off hand excuse "of u cant claim cos u mod" cos they lazy to explain

Hi,

You are definitely right...

R u going to upgrade yours?u think warranty will void ka?

I am going to upgrade, just need to survey more on this Player and get the good price for that. Are you one for the Polo 1.2 tsi owner?

at jb can find shop which sell and install RCD 510 for polo?

How about KL? Any place to get RCD 510?

guys, my polo has a weird engine sound, like trdrinngg, trdringgg, very funny, when i press the accelerator, the sound will be gone.

i noticed that the sound will appear mostly after i start my engine, hmmm, should i send my polo for a check-up ?

another thing is, if there is a bump, pothole or something, i noticed that its a bit hard, and some harsh sound can be heard, from the rear wheels, not that harsh la, is it got to do with my bushing etc etc or its just me ?

anyone have this problem before ? my car mileage currently @ 2500++ km...

I have 2 sets available

Not yet. Prob will get mine nex wik.the waiting is killing me. U got urs already ka?

Anyway,i actually dun mind any kind of stereo as long as it can plug in usb and aux. Bonus would be iphone compatible and also bluetooth.

I was asking around acc shop and mos of them said they can put in mos of audio unit around (sony,kenwood, pioneer etc). Jus need the casing(dey said can use the golf one. Polo one not available yet) and mos of them r confident that they will not interfere any wiring other than the audio ones and they are just tapping for the wire(really doubt it tho). If anything happen,they can jus put in the original back in place.

One of the shop offer was really tempting. Jvc head unit (2xusb,bluetooth,iphone compatible,aux) for 550 + casing 250. Total is 800 only.

But will not have the kool "welcome to volkswagen" thingy.

So what do u think???or u still eyeing for the rcd 510???

Hi,

New or Secondhand? How much is it?

Mapen,

i also shopping around but all the (sony, kenwood , pioneer, jvc) will not able to connect to your MFD and the stering control. thus the RCD still a safer choice.. there are after market RCD like HU e.g. flyaudio , witsun,etc... that they claims OEM to most car vendor, but hear a lot of negative feedback from vagsg forumer. those are cheaper compare to RCD but i think the quality is not there yet..
IMHO.. correct me if i am wrong .

Hi,

Good to hear that you will get your POLO soon. Yes, i got mind on 1 Nov. Has been driving for 1.5 month. Yes i am still looking for RCD 510.. I am not into other Brand. So when you get your POLO, maybe we can come out for a teh tarik sometime...

Yes I think so, is better of getting the RCD510, it is designed for Volkswagen.

No prob orientalpost. Teh tarik anytime can...

Btw,i dunno bout the price for rcd510 but i was thnking it will be in the region of 3000++ which really make me think twice bout buying . Dats why if i can get sumthing with my desired function cheaper. Why not?altho mebbe i cant enjoy the MFD And steering control anymore but i thnk i can live wit dat.

Ehem..im actually one of the crazy ones who dun care bout pushing my monthly budget to the limit jus to get a dream car. Mos ppl wud say "better buy house laaa" but im one who trust the motto "enjoy now,suffer later" so dats why mos of the time im in budget mode.

Enough bout the sad story. Anyway, i was thinking dat since we are already tampering with the system anyway,does it matter what kind of audio unit we use? (rcd510 or other brands). It will still involve opening and fixing back the casing if dat can be considered to void the warranty

Hi,

Actually, i am not only thinking of upgrading the RCD510, i also thinking of upgrading the rim as well. I really can't stand the standard rim....

My POLO is fine. The only thing i notice is, i can see water in the Front Lamp, after heavy rain... Do you have this problem... Is this what it actually designed for water to slip through....

If any wires are cut...audio or otherwise the WHOLE warranty becomes void, so dont let that audio shop guy fool you. Only if it is plug and play using the original connector then your warranty is safe, to some extent.
