RCD510 and RNS510 on the way
One shipment of VW HU's on the way, numbers are limited, so book now if you want to be sure of getting your hands on one.
go from this yucky RCD310

to this

RCD510 (OEM passat/Scirocco) vs RCD310 (OEM mk6 gti)
- Original VW HU with security code
- Full sized 400x240 resolution colour touchscreen

- In-dash 6 CD changer
Scirocco/Passat CC owners have option to upgrade to the RNS510 which has
- 30gig HDD
- Navigation
- 800x400 resolution screen
- DVD player
The best reason for upgrading to the RCD510 is that thieves dont even look at it, cos its a OEM player, they are only after the JVC/Kenwood type aftermarket players, they have no use for OEM players
Still feel that the VW HU's have not enough functions? Need blutooth, Ipod, usb? No fret, the modshop has ex-stock of the 723V. We have supplied over 30 units to VW Cars (b4 they closed) and FA Wagen
723V spec

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

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

APR RSC 3" Downpipe with 200 cell Sport cat
Decided to take advantage of the APR summer sale and picked up a APR DP. Arrived yesterday and i decided to have it installed at Exquisite Marque in Kota Damansara


Installation was relatively straightforward, but had to fabricate a 3"->2.75" aadpter to fit the APR Centre pipe to my rear Miltek Muffler.
The APR kit came with all the adapters, clamps, even gloves for the installation, and as always, the DP is well made and solid.
First Impressions
Cruising around at 2-3k rpm, at normal KL traffic, the DP sounds totally stock. Your wife or mom could drive this car to the pasar malam and back without notcing the DP.
But when you go pass 50% throttle, the DP comes to life and theres a deliciously evil sounding PWHOOWAFAFAAAAAA ! :) Also notice a "Bliuffp" after every gear change...i love it.
Unlike my previous Cusco DP on my WRX, which was loud at all rpm levels, the APR RSC is totally silent at crusing speed, i took it it up to 120kph and it still sounded stock....
Part 2.
Have reflashed to S2 APR software, the lag is lessened and the increase in power is more noticible now. Before this, i was just toying with the idea of Brake/suspension upgrades...now..with S2..its a MUST! The car is barely able to cope with S2 power delivery, i can feel the body roll much more now, as well as the inadequecy of the stock brakes
As per my mod plan, i will be stopping at Stage 2, which i feel is the best compromise between power and reliability. Even with S2 i can already feel increased torque steer, which was not present at S1...so i can imagine that S3 would not be very drivable without significant suspension upgrades
Part 3 : have arranged a dyno shootout with my gay partner in crime, will update once done.
My setup:

CFx Intake Install
Fren of mine came over to my place last nite to install the Cfx Intake. He had bought his GTI 2nd hand and didnt like the BMC intake that it came with...looked like a "Carbon Milo Tin" he said :)
Install was relatively straight forward, engine cover was fiddly as usual, lotsa cursing and sweating to get it on and off.
Cfx Intake looks good installed, comes with a drainhole for water drainage as well as aluminium handles to prevent the carbon cracking from over torque. Along with the K&N Drop in, the CFx is a very quiet set up....the Forge DV whistle is hardly noticible now, sounds like the stock DV


BMC Intake - For sale *Booked*

HPS -Superior Stopping Power
High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance’s HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.
The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..
HPS Ferro-Compound Features:
Increased stopping power
High friction/torque hot or cold
Gentle on rotors
Extended pad life
Low dust
Virtually noise-free

Performance Ceramic
Ultimate stopping power in an ultra-low dust, low noise ceramic compound!
Hawk Performance has introduced a premium, high performance, ultra-low dust, low noise compound called Performance Ceramic.
Performance Ceramic is engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), creating a quieter performing brake pad. Furthermore, the ceramic brake pad formula has a linear friction profile that allows your ABS brake system to work more effectively. With Performance Ceramic you can expect reduced brake pad wear, lower dust output levels and a rotor-friendly brake pad.
Performance Ceramic – quiet, clean & fast stopping!
Key Features:
Increased stopping power
Increased rotor life
Extended pad life
Ultra-low dust
Extremely quiet
Stable friction output
Recommended for import
domestic automobiles

HP Plus / Autocross
Hawk Performance’s HP Plus brake pad compound is ideal for Autocross and Track Day drivers looking for a high performance race compound that can take the heat of the track and get you home safely without having to change the pads.
HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and “track day” applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials.
Extremely high coefficient of friction makes HP Plus the perfect upgrade over stock for high performance streetcars used in autocross competition or that experience repetitive, heavy braking.
Key Features:
Extremely High Friction Output
Fade Resistant
Worthy for Autocross & Club Racing Events
Warning! Due to the dramatic friction levels produced by this product to achieve "race-level" braking, rotor wear, noise, dust, and pad life may be affected.
These are not "underwater" products, the modshop is fully recognized by the Asia Pacific Distributor, Spinergy in SG, and our stocks come directly from them.

Review of RNS 510
This is a review of the VW OEM RNS510 CD/DVD/GPS etc Headunit, i will mostly compare this unit with the Witson 723V HU as I feel thats is its most direct competitor
I got the unit "pre-owned" aka slightly used, from Europe, so obviously when it arrives its not as impressive as the 723, which comes in nice packaged box with all the accesories, the 510 arrives with just the GPS Antenna and CD thats it

Radio
- Excellent reception all round, picks up all RDS station names and info
- Scanning was a breeze, and had all my fav stations loaded in under 5 min
CD/DVD
- Very user friendly interface, with crisp graphics which can be seen clearly in bright sunlight, track/folder selection is very well done, much better then the 723, which was abit clunky to use while on the move
- As per any VW HU, u cant play video DVD on the move without the addition of a Kufatec Video in motion add on. But it doesnt bother me, i dun watch DVDs when moving.
GPS
- Works, but has same offset issue that SG owners are reporting
Pro's and Con's vs the Witson 723
Pro
- to me the biggest pro is the stable user interface and the bright, high resolution screen
- HARD DRIVE!!! yes baby, this unit comes with a 20gig HDD, so we can load up all our favorite songs and never use SD/DVD ever again
- The ability to hook up Fiscon/Kufatec add on's like Video in motion, bluetooth and best of all Optical Parking sensors (like the BMW /Merc style sensors, the car + radar will display on screen)
- Its oem VW, simple plug & play, all the steering wheel buttons work, and should not have any issues with VW malaysia in regards to warranty
Con
- the 510 is DOUBLE the price of the 723, with no warranty
- No USB input, no ipod cables, no remote control etc etc
- No built in bluetooth
- Cant run igo8, garmin etc, can only run the proprietry VW GPS software
- Cant play video in motion
Final analysis:
Is the 510 worth rm2k+ more then the 723? dunno, its not something that I can answer, diffrent ppl have diffrent wants/expectations, you have to decide which HU will serve your needs better.
as always, both the 723 and 510 is available from the mod shop
email me at ryou.modshop@gmail.com for more info
EDIT: played around with the 510 for last couple of hours, its awesome, no wonder ppl pay rm8k+ for a new unit
