  • Phone (Iphone XS Max) does not connect

    Hello. I have had a strange behavior for a short time. It started that my phone (Iphone XS Max) no longer wanted to connect to the Phaeton (phone function). The media player function went however, so the Bluetooth connection is so ok. I have the phone for about 1/2 year and there were no problems so far. Both phone and media player went perfectly. It is the P. about a GP3 from 2011 with RNS 810! I then have the phone function on the phone via setup on Who kssetting reset and wanted to reconnect the mobile phone. The mobile phone is also found and asked for input of the number code 000011122223333 etc.. I can also enter it on the mobile phone but that was it. On the Phaeton display there is still password input and ABBREY, but nothing happens anymore. You can’t cancel at the push of the button either, it doesn’t react any more. If I connect the mobile phone only in the media player, it works immediately. So something seems to be on the Phaeton with the Mobile phone connection doesn’t work properly. Does anyone know this Phaenomen and know what else to do to restore the phone connection? Thanks and greeting

  • Luggage compartment opening

    Hello, short simple question: How do I get the trunk open if neither the electrics nor the emergency opening works more? With me, the belt of a carrying bag has been so elegantly tangled that both don’t work anymore. Was in a workshop and mine something of a day’s work. They would have to remove the rear seat and then try to get in the trunk from behind. I’m afraid that doesn’t work. Anyway, I know from the Audi that the trunk and the rear seat with a The car shows in the display that the boot flap is still open. Probably that’s why the opening motor doesn’t start (no matter what I try). And if I try to open it manually, I can’t turn the key to the right. Probably because the lock is not hooked in at all. So, and now I’d like good advice.

  • Pulsating brake pedal

    Moin together, I register again after a while Currently my phaeton is in hibernation and far away from me, therefore nothing can test at the moment. In order to avoid damage to the stand, my father drives it from time to time. It was found that the brake starts to wobble/pulse at higher speeds (from 100kmh). Feels a little as if the ABS intervenes. Steering wheel and body feel stable, and actually it doesn’t pulsate all the time! even before, but it was never so present and didn’t happen often, even if I used to drive over the 200kmh. If it was a mechanical defect like egging brake discs, you could replicate it over and over again, but that doesn’t happen every time, only more often now. What could that be? Does the ABS come into force so quickly due to the weight or similar and the current weather? I don’t see anything in the tacho either. Or can it be from brake caliper to to be a single screw in the chassis everything?

  • Wheel bearings different versions ?????

  • Dietz 1230

    Hello dear Phaeton municipality… I used the good weather today to connect my DVD player (headrest monitors) to the TV tuner. So in the headrests are monitors with intriguing DVD player and USB etc. Now I installed the Dietz 1230 and installed all kinds of cables. Unfortunately only AV1 is occupied with me on the TV tuner and then only a flickering picture arrives. The sound is great. But picture in black white and bad. Is there a setting in the menu where I use the n Change image mode or something? Greetings Stefan

  • Felge Serres – possible tyre sizes?

  • Heating goes out immediately after ignition

    Moin, since it was a bit colder here in the north around the weekend, I wanted to use the heater. Not that that gets bored. On Thursday I noticed that the SH was off after I had started the car. But I wasn’t sure if it was already running for 20 minutes. So this morning started again by hand transmitter. At the car arrived, it was heard that the heating was running and in the interior it was nice warm. When I then turned on the ignition (motor not I could not turn on the SH via the ZAB again. The SH was changed at the beginning of the year. Probably the ones in the workshop have programmed something wrong or what do the experts say here? Gruss RocketRider
