Good tips, also, he should be making a new thread. :P
I had it done as part of my ECU/TCU tune. Was a free add-on basically done as part of the ECU.
Cars245 is the website, I would suggest joining and searching the Australian R36 Owners Group on Facebook for Cars245, been some posts about it with good info. But short version sign up, find the...
Big parts order came in today. Some trims that have snapped clips, new centre caps for the wheels as the paint is chipped on a few of mine, a new rear tail light to fix a very common dead indicator...
Some very nice beading after the recent decontamination of the five year old Opti-Coat Pro ceramic coated paint. I wasn't the biggest believer in these coatings at first as I felt they were just...
Paint and calipers now done, from a bit worse than this example on another car:

No. I think I tried another CANBUS simulator but it was incompatible.
I'm not sure to be honest! In theory it would if the stock one does, but I don't really know. I was chasing $250.
The Arteon R isn't announced for Australia yet, the 235kW figure is from Europe. The 245kW Golf R figure was only from a leaked internal slide so I would lean more towards the Golf R being revised...
Nice! Yeah I got a quote for the seat padding from VW Solitaire and they wanted $311 for the part, curious your total was $700 as I can't see it being more than a couple hours for a workshop to do...
Has been getting close to four years since I updated this thread, I'm more of a Facebook group guy these days than forums, but I have been back here lately looking for Arteon R discussions and some...
For me the alcantara is an awesome material and they look stunning, but for a daily driver on the driver's seat it is a lot of work to maintain and the side bolsters have a very common issue where...
Hey mate, if you are looking at doing Dynaudio retrofit still, I have the R36 Dynaudio amp at home, I have been meaning to sell it but haven't gotten around to it yet. Any interest? I bought it for...
For reference I seem to remember the original Passat R36 (Last full size R wagon) and the Arteon 206TSI R-Line both ran about low 70's driveaway, I think it is reasonable that this new one being an...
So the brightness issue has been really bothering me as the screen even on the brightest setting is basically impossible to read on sunny days where the head unit isn't in full shade. I figured it...
So after the first 6RF 035 187E unit didn't get sent and Aliexpress refunded me, the second one I bought came DHL Express for some reason, from a different seller. Ordered Boxing Day, arrived today....
Yeah, I figured that might be the case because the new head unit doesn't support the MFD, right? I do have the MEDIA-IN being an MY10.5 it was standard however I would be using either the RCD's...
Awesome, so your 8 button wheel works fine? Any weird issues or anything? I wasn't planning on Desay, definitely Noname. I'll look for it on Ali.
EDIT: This looks promising: BODENLA RCD330 MIB...
Looking to pull the trigger on this but don't really want to sacrifice my steering controls. I've got an MY10.5 R36 so 8 button wheel, sounds like I'll lose them.
One poster about 20 pages back...
Hah! That's the stuff. I had started translating the info from that German forum just now for the MY10 plug, plus English info for the MY08 plugs. Saved it this time, I'm guessing you probably...
Oh that's right! Yeah, you had the exact same issue with yours, I remember now. So we're doing the same thing, just I didn't want to pull it off the old amp, I managed to actually get the part from...
Oh, really? That didn't exist back when I got the amp did it? I have doco somewhere on all the pinouts anyway so I might as well just use what I've got unless it's dirt cheap. I just had a quick look...
Side note, here is my RVC, comes on in reverse and switches off/to the sensors once out, easy stuff. The guide lines are totally useless, I just ignore them. And just for fun, this is a brand new...
Actually when I'm doing this it would be a great opportunity to install the Dynaudio amp I have had sitting in a box for years haha. I still need to make a custom adapter for it to get it to fit...
Yeah the prework you did is what I mean, I would never have done it, I'd simply assumed this would be super impossible. I'm amazed it only requires a few new parts to get Android Auto factory spec...
