    Bluetooth Retrofit for 2005 Phaeton

From the guide above, the Telematics unit (OnStar) is completely removed and then certain pins are connected to the BT module (can hi/lo, 12v...

    Used Hex-Net permitted on forum? Upgrade cost?

    There's a used Hex-Net local to me and I have a few questions: 1. Am I allowed to use the forum for Hex-Net support even if I got it used?

    Best key shell for VW MK5?

    My MK5 key shell's could use some refreshing. I bought a Chinese VW key shell, but the flip motion was off and the key was a bit thinner than stock. Furthermore, to replace the batteries, I still had to split it apart instead of the nice method of the MK6/Phaeton. I was hoping to use the MK6...
