Component protection

[crazy4alfa]

Any idea if it has got to be fitted in the vehicle in order to remove component protection or can i just post unit ?

Is there anyone on this forum who can help with removal ?

[Guest 2]

Needs to be in the car or else the cp won't kick in, why what are you fitting now lol

Theres a forum sponsor in London who can do remove it iirc.

Edit Contact us Audi VW Specialists Centre in London

I'm looking into getting Sat nav installed. Found cheapish unit in Germany and it seems that all required is GPS aerial.

Remember you're gonna have to pay audi to activate the maps and buy a map pack.

How does this work ?

It's DVD based sat nav ?

[Guest 2]

Yes you can buy the DVD but it will only install about half way then the car needs connected to Audi servers to activate and verify the installation.

At this point your cheap drive starts to gain cost getting the additional bits.

I wonder how much that would cost...

Sounds like not worth it then..

[Guest 2]

Think its at least an hours labour from reading bits on here.

Drive + cp + maps + activation = probably more than a good mid-range garmin.

+ GPS aerial...

oh dear...

I can remove component security. Tbh halfords have some great deals on tomtom,'s at the moment and they beat all audi satnav's hands down.
