    Android auto radio for my Polo

    I am afraid so, I was hoping to find a solution for a bit less. I'm not adverse to paying R7 000 if it's worth that, I am adverse to paying R7 000 for the OEM version and then being told a week later that I could have gotten an aftermarket one that offers the exact same thing for R2 000. I...

    Android auto radio for my Polo

    I never said there are units for R1 500, I said there are units for 1/3 of the price. Seems to be a reputable brand for R2 000: https://www.takealot.com/the-blackspider-bsdd1460a-2din-apple-car-play-android-auto-head-/PLID90084581 I don't know the world of car audio, hence why I asked here.

    Android auto radio for my Polo

    Considering that you get aftermarket units that cost 1/3 of the price, I must presume that the cost of manufacturing of the VW units are around R1 500. That's a high markup.

    Android auto radio for my Polo

    I have a 2013 Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion 1.2TDI Comfortline. It has one of these radios: I've purchased a setup with a car charger and a bluetooth adapter in my aux port, but it's very cumbersome. Also, I have to navigate on my phone and I can't skip songs with the buttons on my steering...

    South African rap battle

    This is a long shot, I know. Back around 2013-2014 I discovered a YouTube channel, FlipTheScript, dedicated to a south african rap battle league by the same name. My mate and I were 16 at the time and thought it was the single greatest discovery of our generation. A second south african rap...

    2013 VW Polo Bluemotion 1.2TDI - Diesel engine pre-glow light flashing

    I've managed to reproduce the error consistently, I'll be taking it in to VW this week. If I drive at a low rev-range, around 1400-1700rpm and the car is struggling a bit (usually up a hill), this error occurs. I've been avoiding doing this and the problem hasn't resurfaced, but I am able to...

    2013 VW Polo Bluemotion 1.2TDI - Diesel engine pre-glow light flashing

    Hi Lewies, I have a comprehensive warranty that I paid dearly for, so I'd very much prefer not to check myself. Furthermore, I don't know a lot about cars and would probably break something. I just need to point them in the right direction. I'd honestly expect the mechanics at VW to know...

    2013 VW Polo Bluemotion 1.2TDI - Diesel engine pre-glow light flashing

    I'm new to VW - with the comprehensive warranty I bought, can I take the car to any VW dealership? Or are there "workshops" I'm meant to take it to? If so, whereabout might I find these? For reference, I stay in Lynnwood, Pretoria. I bought the car in VW McCarthy Gezina, but that's quite far...

    2013 VW Polo Bluemotion 1.2TDI - Diesel engine pre-glow light flashing

    I'm coming here as I honestly don't know where to turn to. I recently traded in my 2007 Hyundai Atos 1.1GLS. I wanted to upgrade, but I figured I'd rather do a small upgrade now and upgrade again soon. When I found one of the rare Polo Bluemotions, I had to test drive it. I decided to purchase...

    Xceed 144Hz Monitor with HDR from Checkers

    A short review on this screen: I was extremely skeptical about this purchase, especially since I'm a person that believes in spending money on quality hardware. I have absolutely no complaints. I have no dead pixels, the 144hz is working perfectly and the display is simply incredible...

    Xceed 144Hz Monitor with HDR from Checkers

    A guy who bought one sent this to me. I bought mine this morning, testing it out after work.
