What did you do to your van today?

[Scotscad]

Hi UINS, regarding ur seat bases. Im sure it depends whatseats ur going to fit as some seats fit the standard bases without modifying. I fitted audi a5 seats to my standard bases and had to drill holes on the bases and their fine. Dont quote me but i think golf and audi a3 seats fit straight onto caddy bases and maybe some others. Hope this helps.

Hi mate. Ok great, thanks for the info… I’ve been reading a lot on here that most VAG should fit the bases I have. But I’m unsure. And I’m a bit wary of trying to modify anything, even drilling a seat base as I’m sure I’ll mess it up somehow still struggling to decide which seats I want

Audi A1 seats are a direct fit, all else need either drilled or touran bases

Just updated the MIB using mibsolution.one and an SD Card. Great website and videos on YouTube. I was hoping this would allow me to use Apple CarPlay but still saying I need an Activation Key. Am I going to have to pay £50 off eBay for an SD card with one? Or can I do this myself. Any help appreciated, can’t seem to find much online. Cheers. Andy

The BG installed aftermarket reverse sensors have packed up on my van, well apparently one was never connected since I had it which explains why I kept hitting one of our recycling bins!

So I had the panel off to find the box and I've ordered exactly the same thing so I can I just change the sensors and then plug them into the existing box/sounder.

If it's not the sensors I'll just keep replacing bits till it works I guess.
(The kit was £15)

Whilst I've got the panel off I started putting some sound deadening inside and I'll pop some insulation in once the reverse sensors are fixed. It's not going to be a posh carpeted camper as it's my work van but I may as well make it slightly more quiet and comfortable to sleep in when required.

All the OE panels are a bit knackered so I'm going to slowly work my way through the van replacing those original panels with 6mm ply and I'll deaden and insulate as I go.

The SD cards online are just using the free software available online. Just go careful with either as iv seen a few bricked units recently with people doing this them self.

Thanks mate. Thats why I thought I’d give a go myself but even followed all of the Mr Fix videos and seems to update ok but no GEM. Just annoying me now

Are you sure your head unit is the correct hardware version? I believe it's either Technisat or Delphi, and I believe only the Technisat one works. Must also be the correct MIB2 Toolbox version for the firmware on your unit (you may have to upgrade or downgrade)

True, 3 makers of the same stereo name and they are all completely different inside. Delphi, Bosch and Technisat and I've taken two rcd510 apart for repair, one Bosch and one Delphi, nothing alike at all. Different hardware and software but look the same at the front.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the help.
It’s technisat Preh. I have just noticed I have done something incorrect. Huge brain fart going to attempt again now.

The one in my Mk7 Golf is a Delphi. I found the correct software to enable Android Auto / CarPlay. But since the software change the USB no longer works
So I'm back to square one

[jakemcc97]

Cleaned it for the first time since I bought it, played with my new Bissell extractor, got so much dirt out of the seats

[davoc220]

Sorted my washers, now it doesn’t dump water all over the floor, fitted my LED number plate lights and the connection issue, also sorted my LED DRL and side light issue, and emptied some rubbish out, been not a bad morning all in all

[davoc220]
