Hi,
I am not far away now from placing an order for a204 DSG ocean. It has been a few months in trying to source for information. Looking at threads on this site has been my best source by far.
The latest brochure seems to have a few contradictictions. Cruise control or not? Etc..
I think I will be ordering the following options:
Metallic Indium,
Cruise control,
Composition 6.33 radio,
App-connect,
Leather multi func steering wheel,
Awning,
Parking sensors with camera,
Four fob keys,
Removable towbar
I do have a few queries,
1/
buying and discounts.... The dealer I visited has offered a small discount.. Small. £1500 ish...
I have com across a site called drive the deal. Also mentioned in a few posts. They do offer around 8% which will be more than £4K.
Has anyone had any experience, good experience or a bad idea...?
2/
Cruise control, seems to be another confused area. Page 13 latest brochure says it's an option, page 23 states it's standard... Anyone know for sure?
3/ I want satnav, but the option is a silly price.. So I am hoping I can use my iPhone in conjunction with the App-connect and have google maps function on the radio screen...
Or buy an aftermarket radio with sat nav that will directly replace stock unit. Other idea may be use an iPad mini completely stand alone...
Has anyone fitted an aftermarket radio? Does it just drop in.. I did read a thread where a kenwood was just dropped in.. But with a few issues..Was this successful?
4/
I think I am correct in my understanding that the multifunction steering wheel is separate to cruise control...
It does seem that most things have to be configured now at time of order, so any help or suggestions that you think would be of use, or anything on my list that could be removed..
I would really appreciate some experienced views.... Ta...
