Yo yo, good shout, I think the clamp was just covering the end of the slot (which is how I like to do it, rightly or wrongly) so hopefully it will be okay, but I may move it back a little bit as you say. It was a very tight fit anyway so should be fine 🤞 Thanks for watching ❤ Thanks for watching

@ worse case spray it with soapy water and see if it bubbles.

Haha, I'd rather not suffer through it again! 😂 To be fair it wasn't the worst job I've done. They certainly are fantastic engines, bar the few very specific flaws. Thanks for watching, hope it helps. :)

Yes it should do, as long as you have the media unit in the glovebox, which you should have on a GTI :)

Hi There! Glad to hear your unit is working fine, I hope the video helped. Very strange that the parking sensors don't appear on the screen, they certainly do appear on the CarPlay screen for me. Perhaps that's a problem specifically with the Android Auto on the device, although it seems unlikely. I didn't have to change any settings to get it to appear. The car in the video is DSG, is yours DSG automatic? Maybe that makes a difference.

Hi there, the link to the AMI to Aux cable is in the description. Thanks for watching :)

@@WheelzonWheelsbut do you have to leave your phone connected to the aux

@ no you don’t, you just plug the cable in and then the “Aux” option appears in the “Media” menu as shown in the video. 😊

@@WheelzonWheels ok ty, ur so helpful

Hi there! Yes you can use the standard radio audio, and the CarPlay screen at the same time. :) Thanks for watching!

Hi there, thanks for watching and your kind comment! You won't be able to connect to the unit using the AMI to USB adapter, because the unit comes with it's own female USB cable. In my case I ran the USB cable from the unit to my glovebox through a hole that was partly precut, I just had to push out the plastic. Hope that makes sense. To answer your question, if you only intend on using USB connection then yes you do not need the WiFi aerial connected, although in my experience it worked even without that aerial connected anyway, at just a reduced range.

@@WheelzonWheelsthanks for your reply. I’ve followed all the steps plus WiFi cable. However it keeps disconnecting the Bluetooth randomly and playing through phone. Any suggestions? Should I connect solely with WiFi maybe? Thanks for your help!

@@WheelzonWheelsalso the screen turns off until I reset every time 🫠

@@katelouisebagnall Hmm, I only ever used it wirelessly with CarPlay, I believe the Bluetooth connection is just how it initially pairs with the device. I recommend disconnecting Bluetooth from your original 'SEAT radio' car connection too, as this can interfere with how the unit works.

Where you based mate ?

@@John-pv5ri hi there, thanks so much for watching! I didn’t use the microphone, as it will use the cars original microphone if you don’t connect it (which is somewhere around the interior light I think). However, if you’d like to use it regardless, I recommend running the cable up the A pillar and place it in the top corner of the windscreen! Let us know how you get on 😀

@@Dipnchip98 not a silly question! Personally I didn’t disconnect the battery as there is little risk with working on these particular components, however it is advisable to not turn on the ignition with the unit in the glovebox disconnected as that may cause temporary issues with the screen in the dial cluster! Generally though not much can go wrong, but you can disconnect the battery if it makes you feel better 😊 Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks for watching!

Hey there! The fuel economy was extremely good considering the power it makes! I always got over 30MPG regardless, and on a long run I could get high 30's. The best I could get was probably about 350 miles to a tank, but often less than that, depending on how I drove 😝 Thanks for watching 🙂

Hi there! Yes a faulty/leaking coolant pump can cause coolant loss in the expansion bottle, it is VERY common on these platform of cars. It's highly likely you need to replace the waterpump and thermostat assembly. This video will be very similar to your MK7 GTI, so I hope it helps you :)

Haha yeah, it had a valved cutout pipe poorly welded into the exhaust which caused a lot of turbulence. I since replaced it with straight pipe, but never got it dyno'd again. I reckon it would have made more HP after that.

Thanks for watching and for your kind comment! Ah that's a shame. I have updated the description now to include a new link for a similar item which should be exactly the same; I can't guarantee it but it looks the same to me :)

@ perfect Mate, thanks so much 🔥

Hello! Are you saying you have an AMI port like mine in the video?

I want to follow up on this also , I have ami media in the glovebox and on the dash , do I just get ami to aux and plug it into the box and good to go ?

@@evandonelan9251 I think I understand, yes I believe if you just connect the AMI to Aux cable (link in description) to the AMI port it should give you the option for Aux in the Media inputs options, however I can't guarantee it of course. If that doesn't work for you, there is a option to "use original Bluetooth audio" in the unit's settings instead. :)

Hello there! My jack is a Halfords Advanced 2 Tonne Low Profile Trolley Jack, and is by far the best jack I've ever owned. A little expensive and pretty heavy, but well worth it if you're going to make a habit of using it. I also have owned the cheaper Halfords jacks and they're not so good. The axle stands I use are the standard orange Halfords 2 Tonne ones, they do the job. Just don't get ratcheting ones in my opinion, get the simple ones that you have to manually put a pin through! I have updated the description with links to these. :)

@@Frapps thanks so much for watching and your kind comments! The quality is comparable to the standard Bluetooth connection; I didn’t notice any difference in quality. 😊

@@moali9316 yes indeed it did, although I think the issue was the oil cooler seal rather than the oil cooler itself, but I already bought it so I just replaced it anyway. 🤷‍♂️ thanks for watching 😊

@@valenyt8377 haha, yellow is the fastest colour! Maybe not in this case though. Thanks for watching 😊

@@WheelzonWheelsit is pretty fast actually

@lucyxharris 🤔

@@joshblades haha same! filter accessible on top is so handy. Thanks for watching 😊

I don't think so, but you can do that with the standard system with an AMI to USB adapter! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for watching and for your comment! Not sure why you can't hear phone calls, maybe it is because you're still connected to the cars original Bluetooth? Try disconnecting the Bluetooth and try again. Failing that, try switching the input in "Media" back to Bluetooth, and in the new unit's setting select "Use original Bluetooth"

That was when it had a weird broken aftermarket valve system in the exhaust, that was removed after the remap but never taken back to the Dyno. My bum dyno says it deffo gained a few horses after I sorted the exhaust out :)

@@WheelzonWheels yeh that would make sense

@@pridenyoni8209 thanks so much for watching and your kind comment! You shouldn’t need to connect anything, you just just need to change the input to Aux on the “Media” screen. Also make sure the “use original Bluetooth” option is disabled in the settings for the unit itself

Hi there! Unfortunately I never tried it. The unit does support it, however I know it must be a wired connection to use Mirror Link, so I never bothered.

I’m afraid I didn’t try Mirror Link, but I’m sure it works just fine!

Hi there, it is an AMI to Aux cable. I forgot to put it in the description, I have now updated the description with a link for you 😊

Hi there, where is the CD slot in your car? If you insert CD's above the radio screen, then this upgrade is not possible I'm afraid. :(

@@nikolaoskortimanitsis1577 hi there! Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback 😊 the unit works for MIB1 and MIB2 so it should work either way! All you have to do is change the dip switches to match the system you have

why

I have no idea

Hi there, most likely yes! Just make sure you have a MIB unit in the glovebox, and it has the same 5.8" screen. Thanks for watching. :)

Oh I've just read this again, the cable bolted to the block is a knock sensor? I had no idea. Thanks for your kind comment. :)

@@jefflambert8603 couldn’t have said it better myself! Thanks so much for watching

@@jimjomgilbus hi there! It is an Airblade smoked double bubble screen. 😊

@@Rpp3r hi there, yes the radio works as normal, you just have to press “radio” on your system as normal, and press and hold “car” to exit the CarPlay mode”

@@spiv5ter874 thanks mate, glad you’re enjoying it 😊

@WheelzonWheels - The wife has driven it more than me but she approves 😂. Really enjoying it mate. Thanks again!

@@lanodramallama mine is an ABS model actually! For me that was an important factor, although I’ve never had to use it at all. It’s nice to have. Thanks so much for watching 😊

@@lukesokolovski good shout, not a bad way to use it!
