Non- GTI talk




I look at my blog, also damn sien...all Golf Stuff....so decided to put up off topic post. This is the Blue Hole in Belize.

The Blue Hole is a feature attraction of diving in Belize, especially for divers with an appreciation of geographical phenomena - this is your opportunity to explore the famous Blue Hole. Part of the Lighthouse Reef System, at approximately 62 miles (100 km) from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole has a radius of more than 1,000 feet (305 m). It is one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth. Located in the center of the Lighthouse Reef the Blue Hole is a large hole of water 480 feet (145 m) deep, which gives the deep blue color that causes such structures throughout the world to be known as "blue holes."

Imagine that...480 feet straight down, divers can get Vertigo if they acidentally look straight down...its the closest sensation to flying we will ever experience. Its on the list of things to do b4 i die.

In fact...i think i will target 2012 for a trip there....since all the doomsayers think its end of the world anyway....might as well die in a beutiful place like that

Resellers wanted for Witson 723V Headunits

Demand for the 723V has picked up to the point that the Modshop now sells more units via resellers/dealers then direct sales, so if you are interested in reselling the 723v, contact me and we can meet up to discuss, will also provide specs, brochures, warranty info and the bulk price list.

There are over 2,000 VW drivers in Malaysia...large audience for the 723 :)

I currently have 4 active resellers, looking for at least 5 more, prefebly in states outside KL, eg Penang and JB

Eyelids shipment



A few diffrent types of eyelids came in today, Osir Carbon, Fiber and Cfx carbon.

Osir Carbon - best looking of the 3 eyelids, perfect finish and fits with no issues

Osir Fiber - Matt black finish that matches the GT grille

Cfx Carbon - Thicker then the Osir, so might need some fiddling to ensure good fit, laquer also has imperfections probably caused by dust in the spraying room, but it makes up for it by being the cheapest

Im probbaly going to install the fiber Osir....havnt decided wheter to colour code or not, i like the way it matches the other black pieces on the grille

This Active antenna adapter can be used on any brand HU (Alpine, JVC, Kenwood etc), it will convert our GTI's dual Fakra antenna leads to a single banana jack as well as provide power for the signal booster

A must buy for anyone installing aftermarket Headunits for crystal clear radio reception

Solution for 723V radio reception



Dunno why it only occured to me now, but the JVC unit that piscargot installed with the VW Dual DIN conversion kit came with a active dual fakra -> single antenna jack adapter, and the JVC has no radio issues, so the adapter should work for the 723 as well. The important part is the circutry that provides power to the oem booster, which is not present in the non active adapter provided by Witson
I have ordered 1 unit to test out, keep an eye here for the update, should cost under rm95 for the adapter...damn thing has to be airflown from UK, no one else makes it
im 99% sure this will work, so all future units of 723V will come bundled with the adapter, previous buyers of the 723 can order the adapter at cost price, i will bear the shipping costs
