Hello Drive a VW Phaeton and have only one SD card slot and no bluetooth. I had asked to load a car hifi and they wanted 550 euro. My question would be, do you know how to upgrade bluetooth? Have no AUX (no idea why). Thanks in advance

Servus dear association of the Volksbentley drivers, I was in Poland in June and saw a Phaeton there, which could lift/lower itself very quickly. Since my Polish is very limited and the owner English is not less, I can only tell from the conversation that he apparently increased the diameter of the compressed air pipes to 10mm. Various questions arise here: – How complicated must such a project have been? – Where do the pipes run? In the threshold? – Do the pipes still fit the series valve block at all? Something tends to tell me that the valves should also be modified, since the air quantity first has to be through there. Does someone have experience out of pure chance? In general, my V10 only rises very comfortably. Thanks in advance.

Hello, my husband’s Phaeton (Benziner, V8, Allrad, Automatik, EZ 12/2015) can always be started perfectly with the start/stop button at the cold start. However, the following problem has occurred over and over again recently: If the engine is warm and the engine is switched off, e.g. in traffic jam or during a long red phase at the traffic light, then the car can no longer start immediately with the start/stop button. Most of the time, it only works on the third attempt. In the second start attempt, it was currently noticeable that the various symbols you see in the dashboard did not light up. The battery in the key is fine. Can someone tell me the cause and the solution for this problem?

Tach together, because my E46 320d had come a little bit into the years and with 365tkm also started the first electronic problems, something new should come to bring me relaxed from A to B. Since I drove a lot of long distance, I was looking for a car, which offers space and significantly more comfort than the 3rd. After randomly short test drive in the GP4 of an acquaintance and extensive reading here in the forum (great thanks to all the members for the extensive information and FAQs!) the decision was made for the thickness. Due to my body size (knapp under 2m and “sitzriese” it had to be one without sliding roof. Since I wanted to do without the equipment and the well equipped variants mostly installed the SSD, the search lasted a little longer. 3 weeks ago I picked up my thicknesses then at the frame. According to service history, the vehicle was probably still a VW-press vehicle, accordingly well equipped (s. profile) and properly maintained (u.a. new tires, brake disks, TÜV was also able to start with the same thing.

Hello dear ones. I made myself “schlau” at the Tüv times. They say that if you do not find the tyre size in the data block of the manufacturer / vehicle it makes a single demonstration necessary and then the child is probably already in the well. Means, then if a test has too little space (or the examiner is somewhat uncertain) the decrease does not go positive. I think that the Phaeton anyway has something of a “nesthegchen”. Every S-Class and also 7s and XJ come with 275 and more on the roadway. Thus it should be possible to get a release from the GMD, that the Omanyt with ET 40 with 275 can be equipped. According to the user here this is technically no problem, perhaps with 5 mm distance disks, if the ET 40 are positive to the rim axis. Maybe one of you has already obtained a release at the GM. The heaviest bolt in the upper class and the narrowest tires from the factory (235).

Hi, everybody, I had a mobile phone holder (Kenu Airframe) in my car so far which was clipped into the air outlet nozzle. This was a very inconspicuous and well-functioning solution. Since it is now a bit more complicated with the mobile phone holders in the thickness, I have considered whether it is possible to prevent the automatic blinding of the left air outlet nozzle without taking action with a side cutter? Can you encode this if necessary? So I could continue using the airframe and would not have to do without the aperture globally. If someone asks: iPhone 7 is the phone which should find a place somewhere.

Hello, I have used the help or search function but found nothing useful. My problem is that Navi reports “Navigation not available at the moment”. As if the Navi-DVD was not readable or not inserted. I tried to remove the DVD, but the player doesn’t jump out the DVD anymore!!! Does anyone know this problem? How do I get out the DVD? Is there perhaps some kind of music lock? Does a reset at the ZAB help perhaps? Would be nice if one or the other had a little advice for me. Allen still a nice day. Greet Markus

Don’t get away from the Phaeton. Even from the Phaeton Forum, I’ve fallen back in this respect. Bad? Yesterday I bought a long 4-seater, GP2. EZ 01/2009, 71,000 km, V6 TDI colour Tarantellablack, leather Tobacco-Anthracite individual What doesn’t he have? Fridge, Alcantara package, hat rack in leather, shift flaps, trailer coupling. My GP0, EZ 03/2007, was a faithful and absolutely reliable companion. No problems and with the software tuning on 270 hp and 525 Nm running smoothly. Give it with 87,000 km in payment. I already have such a bit of bammel about the new used ones. From the equipment he surpasses my previous for lengths, but also in length! Above all, however, the question whether the new one will be so problem-free later on, push me around. Well, knock on the wood at the new one. Has it abundantly!

Hello, I would like to change the glow plugs soon and during the research I noticed that according to the repair guide there are both ceramic and metal glow pin plugs. Furthermore, I read in the Audi Forum that when switching from ceramic to metal an update is necessary for the ECU. How to recognize whether metal or Keramit is installed I know from the guide, but have not yet found the time to look. I would like to know if it is known in which period ceramic and metal were installed and whether a software update would be necessary in the case of the thick in the case of the switchover?

My last thread has led me to the idea that we can create a list of all mobile phones that work with the Phaeton unreservedly. In many cases it might be advisable to use an older mobile phone as a “fixed installation” or to continue to use it. It is also important that the mobile phone RSAP can. Only this makes sense to use the external GSM unit of the Phaeton. Mobile phones, which work in pure hands-free mode, should be mentioned only for the sake of interest. However, a meaningful use of these devices is not possible, since then the device is used as a normal mobile phone in the interior. Perhaps also the mention of the network would be interesting. I start with: My best experience with GP 2 and 3 with the Nokia 6300 is done. However, the device is mainly used in the D1 network. But D2 also worked perfectly. My experiences with o2 are divided. Eplus has completely paid off on me. Currently as “fixed installation” I use a Nokia E52, that all my ideas – still- are fulfilled. Ipone 3 and 4 can only operate as a permanent mode.
