i turned this on with VCDS on my GTI..then turned them off. It looks like i have faulty wiring when it happens.

Ah yes, worrying about what others think of your car instead of worrying about seeing the road.

It looks retarded even from the driver's seat. I just leave the fogs on and have both sides constantly lit up. Plus, it lights the wrong side up. I want to see the wide side lit, not the inboard side that I know is clear.

I believe there is an "easter egg" thread somewhere here.

Ill throw in a few:

- Extendable Sun Visors
- Cooling knob in glove box (to keep drinks cool)

I have a 2011 GTI where are these Extendable Sun Visors and Cooling Knob in the glove box?!?

Here is a pic of the cooling knob that is located on the left hand side of the glove box.

They don't have much peripheral though, the feature is definitely not for fast driving, but when you're driving around at night in a poorly lit area with lots of awkward turns or curbs, it helps to be able to see what's directly in front and to the side of your wheel. That way you don't hit that awkward pothole on the inside of that funky bend.

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to look for both of these when I get to my car leaving work.

There's a engine sound generator (soundaktor) located next to the ECU, under the wiper arms. Yes, it makes engine noise, for what???

Sun_chip, nice pic, didn't think to do that.
Another thing I learned yesterday; It's a hot day and you've had your windows down (and sunroof open) and want to close them all before you go in for the night; of course there's a VAGCOM for this but can I do it with the real key? Yes, pop the emergency cover off your door handle, insert your key and turn to the left and hold. The car locks and then all windows up and sunroof closes. Pop the cover back on and your on your way.

I learned that when I hit 88mph I travel back in time to 1955.

I need to get rid of this stupid thing...

ah yes because it's really hard to see the road going less than 20mph.
