OK, I just got off the phone with the factory and they will have only 100 units available for July 15th. The next batch won't be ready until the 28th. I am very eager to have some of this units on your hands and get your feedback. I am going to be ordering one for myself, because I can't wait to see how is going to work out. Just the fact that it will have rear IPod connection, is enough for me.:biggrin:
I will agree with Oskar in this case that whoever orders might be taking a chance, because its a new model. But then I would have to disagree, because I don't think it will be worse than the current model (not that there is anything wrong with it).
So, in order to have some units in your hands, what I am going to do is offer the "Introductory" price for THREE DAYS ONLY (because they only have 30 units left)!

Whoever orders the next three days, will get this price:

473.00 USD - Delivered * This price is with Delivery!
25.00 USD - TMC
38.00 USD - 120km/h DVB-T
65.00 USD - 180km/h DVB-T
10.00 USD - Digital TV antenna

* The price Includes the Updated CANBUS.
ATSC is not available at the moment.
For more info email me at drendibra@gmail.com

I will also post some pictures of the unit very soon.

I made an correction, sorry about that.

I also had a costumer who had the same problem and after I delivered him a free Can-Bus, he found out that the problem was somewhere else.

"Dren, I got my vehicle fixed this week. I found out that since the vehicle came equipped with Sirius Satellite Radio. The actual Uni of the Satellite was staying on 24/7 and it was causing the battery to drain."

could this be the case for everyone else with the battery drain problem? i'm awaiting my unit and i have sirius radio, so further information would be helpful

This is all the info I have right now. But, you might want to advice a technician before installing.

Got the same camera issue,
When in DVD, Radio, BT (White-pages) and switch into gear it gives stripes.
When in Camera or DTV (Yellow-pages) and switch into gear it is OK.

My unit is gone to be fixed and give this issue also as a complane, will inform u if it is fixed on returning.

Hi,

It'll be good to hear weather your unit has this fixed when you get it back.
Keep us updated... what else is your unit going in for?

If you go back a few pages you can notice the same picture that I posted.:cool:

Oskar I agree with you. I think we should start a new thread on this unit, so we don't get people confused.
And you being the senior member I think should have the honors.:thumbsup:

By the way (everyone) just a reminder, that if you still want to take advantage of the price I offered, you have until Tomorrow night to place the order.
I still have 12 units left.

Dreny, I'm very interested in this new device, but I don't wanna buy a pig in a poke. So you have to provide pictures of the front, the GUI and e.g. pictures of the can-bus-controll (MFD).

Battery Drain Problems

With reference to the recent post on battery drain and the Siruis sat radio modual this is a possibility, but I think small. the diagrams show that the power feed to this modual is the same line (fuse S8) as the radio, but it is not controlled by the radio, but by the "CanBus Controll modual" which signals it to sleep when the ignition is off, . The sat radio modual powers the active antenna's for this system.
I posted last week that VW themselves have this problem with radio/canbus controller missmatches leading to battery drain and their solution was an updated CanBus controll modual, and this may be what the previous member meant when he said that VW changed another modual.
I would suspect this, if it is at all related to a VW components.
But I would say it is 99% for sure a faulty canbus system that is installed in the radio which is not putting it properly to sleep.

There is an other possibility on NON Sat Radio Systems and Mk2 > units.

In the beginning I think mrx or kv12 measured 12v coming out the radio on the positive line of the Antenna of Mk1 units. (i did not have this 12v on my Mk1 when I measured mine).
There is a reason for this as the OEM unit does the same to power some of the active Antenna systems installed by VW.
The Twin Fakra adapter does the same, and if you use the blue pcon as the power supply connection then when the radio goes to sleep, this feed to the antenna is cut, as it does in the OEM setup.
So, on this note, can some one measure the voltage on the centre line of the antenna line at the radio with power on and off.
It just maybe that the MK2> radio@s internally is still powering the active antenna amplifiers when the radio is supposed to be in sleep mode.

It seems there are a number of previous releases which are plagued with problems. Where can we buy the newest model of this unit? Does Waywell supply the newest model? Is there an Australian distributor you can buy these from? I tried Auspack but they haven't got back to me from about 2 weeks ago...I assume they're no longer in business.

Supply in Australia

My Name is Gary and I am in Perth , Western Australia. I have forged a business relationship with Oskar (Joe) and now we have some MK3 VW 6050 units in Australia. I also have some spares and will build up stock as necessary. (like the transistors some people have needed). I have been doing some aftermarket work like the retro fit bluetooth mic replacement and DVB tuning and antenna research. My next posts will have some results there. I do have a reworked MK2 unit that is 100% at a good price . Anyone interested PM me , more info soon ,
Gary

Memory not too bad, here you are
