    Temperature gauge fluctuating - Thermostat?

    Aw right. That isn’t so bad. Is it an easy enough diy job or is it best to put it to a garage for the thermostat? Don’t know what’s best about water pump. There are no receipts for it but the car has done 128k.

    Double din RNS-D retrofit - desperately need help!

    Mine never works. It came with a CD changer so it comes up with the 6 CDs as the options, but none of the buttons light up and it never powers on or off with the car. I have someone with VCDS going to program my car to work with it to see if that helps. If not, its back to the drawing board.
