Here is a PDF copy of phones that are compatible with Volkswagen Advance Bluetooth system with voice dialing 9W3 available in the Jetta TDI sedan, Passat, EOS, CC, Tiguan and Touareg.

NOTE: There are always new cell phones coming in the market. While they will all work with the VW system as for basic hands free telephony is concerned. There may be compatibility issues due to inability of these cell phones in using the phonebook & caller-ID functionalities of the VW Bluetooth® System.

Due to the popularity of the the last post on What You Can Get For $200 we’ve decided to start an Under $200 blog post series that highlights these kinds of bargains for those die-hard $200 / mo shoppers.

Normally at this stage of the year, dealerships are offering good lease prices on only late models, like 2009’s. The end of the year is a really good time to buy a vehicle because dealerships are motivated to sell their inventory so they can make room for the new shipments that come at the end of the year or early part of next year.

At Volkswagen SouthTowne not only are the 2009 Jettas on sale, but the 2010 Jettas are on sale too. But Volkswagen SouthTowne is overstocked with these incredible vehicles so we’re selling them starting at $18,986. Right now you can drive a Jetta SE, fully loaded, with leatherette interior for under $200 a month.

For example, normally this 2010 Jetta SE is $22410 MSRP, and the invoice on it is $21,620. Volkswagen SouthTowne is selling it under cost for $19,869. You can lease it for only $193 a month. This one is stock #64557.

What’s so great about a Jetta? They are fuel-efficient, affordable, ranked as one of the safest vehicles out there, roomy enough for a family, 4-door, turbo charged, impressive, good looking, and frankly just really fun to drive.

Check out Volkswagen SouthTowne’s selection of 2009 and 2010 Jettas and give us a call to set up an appointment at 866-406-2870

If you have a 2010 Volkswagen with the new RNS-510 Navigation or RCD-510 touch screen radio and an active Sirius™ subscription you can get the latest scores on your radio screen, here is how:

- Go to the Sirius mode (SAT button on radio or band>sirius on Nav system)

- select Channels

- under channels select SPORTS

- scroll untill you see the channel with the game you are interested on

- once on that channel the unit will display the teams that are playing, the league, scores, and quarter/inning

Who ever said Jettas were a girls car? This Vdub comes hard with the wheel fitment. Anyone got anymore info on this please send me a message!

Diggin’ it.

Check the plate, lol.

Woke up this morning to find 3 to 4 inches of snow outside! I had planned to get in the car and go to work but news came through of the A12 being shut both ways and since I needed to get to Southend I thought balls to that! I’ll be out later with the missus stuffing snow down her back and that sort of thing, haven’t played in the snow for years!

….. or “The Car” in English for the German tagline of Volkswagen. The group also owns the brands of Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Audi under them. They have quite a few dealers across the country and the Jetta, Passat, Touareg and now the New Beetle are for sale in India.

One of the two showrooms in Chennai is located at the 2nd Avenue, Anna Nagar West, and this is that …..

It’s been a long time since I’ve spent time working in 3D, so this was a great small and easy project to get back into the flow of things.

The goal was to do something simple, but fun and unique. I’ve had a craving for a vintage styled VW for a while. Something about the late 80’s Early 90’s that was just so awesome and obscure.

From the pastel colors to the zigzag antenna I tried to mimic the style as best as I could. Slat grill, small diameter wheels and airbrushed back window were necessary touches.

First thing that came to mind was the old Skiing and Mountain bike posters “RADICAL”. What would they drive?

Thanks to Balatch for some suggestions, he too seems to love this era!

Turned out fairly similar to my original photoshop concept.

A few people had voiced their frustrated with the fact that the GTI, Golf and Jetta SE with Navigation and bluetooth do not do all the neat tricks that the other cars with that option combo can do.  Just incase you dont know what the “issue” is let me break it down for you: Volkswagen installs different bluetooth systems in their cars.  The Golf, GTI, and non TDI Jettas get a more basic system that allows for music streaming. while the Tiguan, Eos, Passat, CC, and Touareg get a more advance system that allows for voice dialing (albeit no music streaming) and it interacts with the car’s navigation system as covered in episode 2 of my series.

So what is a 9W2 owner to do? well one intrepid owner took the matter in his own hands and found a way to make it work and made a handy PDF to show the rest of us how to do it.

I have been unable to avoid the non-stop Christmas music that is being played all over the warehouse.  There are three radio placed so that music can be heard no matter where you go.  These radios are being tuned to one of the stations playing wall-to-wall Christmas music.

I am quickly getting sick of it.  At the moment, I am streaming Yahoo! classical Christmas music.  It’s a wonderful change from”Jingle Bell Rock”, “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” and the other “favorites”.  I love the carols and sacred music of Christmas.  They’re peaceful and inspiring.  I’ll take “Ave Maria” over “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” anytime. 

In our last episode, I began to compile a list of my favorite rock n roll Christmas songs.

Let’s continue, shall we?

6.   tie “(I Believe in) Father Christmas – Greg Lake; “Christmas Wrapping” – The Waitresses; “Christmas song” – Jethro Tull.   For three years in a row, I was the fortunate one to shut down the student radio station for the Christmas break.  Most of the staff had left campus after their last semester final, and no one wanted to hang around.  I don’t blame them.  But I was a board operator for Maine Public Radio and had to hang around.  These songs were among those I played in the last hour before sign off.  There is a redemptive quality about all three.  Something lost, then miraculous found with a greater sense of appreciation.  A boy loses faith in Father Christmas, thinking he doesn’t exist but is proven wrong.  A man and woman, destined to hook up,  but can’t due to extraordinary circustances.  A cynical narrator, seeing the graft and greed that is part of a modern Christmas, finds new hope when the true meaning of the day is brought back into his life.  Any one of these can be a lesson for us in these times.

7.  Run Run Rudolph – Dave Edmunds.  Yeah, I know it’s a Chuck Berry song, but this one really moves.  It’s a not too fast with a driving rhythm that reminds you this IS a Chuck Berry song.  It’s a fun, rock ‘n’ roll song.

8.  tie  “Happy Xmas (War Is Over) – John Lennon and Yoko Ono; “Someday At Christmas” – Stevie Wonder.   It’s Christmas — with a conscience.  Both songs remind us that we are all responsible for each other and our world.  They remind us of what could be if we really wanted it.  The songs are a reflection of what it means to be human and hope for something better.  Christmas is a time to reflect and there’s no better time to make changes.

9.  anything from The Motown Christmas Album” or “Merry Christmas From Phil Spector”.  Every rock station should be playing every song from both albums.  I love The Jackson Five version of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles singing “Jingle Bells”.  Both songs have that classic Motown groove that help transform them from pop novelty to a righteous groove.   I could listen to Darlene Love sing “It’s Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) over and over.  Christmas tunes adapt well to The Wall of Sound, made famous by Specter.  All the artists:  The Ronettes, Darlene Love, Bobbi Soxx & the Blue Jeans give us memorable rock and roll.

10.  “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” – Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan.  It’s not really a rock song, just an accoustic version of the old carol.  I am not a huge BNL fan.  The majority of their material is fun and I enjoy that.  But I don’t believe these guys take ANYTHING seriously…except this song.  As for the lovely Sarah, she could sing the phonebook and I would find it compelling.  Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.

That’s enough for now.  I need to go.  My car died a quick death on the way to work at 5:20AM.  Dash lights started dimming and began losing power going up small hills.  Thank God for AAA. It’s at the garage for the moment, waiting for me to pick it up after work.  Now I have to shell out $150 bucks for a new belt and tension arm.  Let’s hope that’s it for repairs.  I hate my Jetta today.

Worked at Delicious Orchards in High School
Small grocery ten minutes by Jetta
Ladies I worked with, beehives frosty blue
Served pecan pie to save college cheddar

Thanksgiving and Christmas were most hectic
Lines out the door enjoy warm mulled cider
The kind of store you’d go to buy pectin
Break room with cigarettes and Bic lighters

We’d arrive early morning to box pies
Selling five thousand, just over a week
For grade school fundraisers or family ties
My seventeen year old back muscles weak

Home after a busy day at the store
One bite at my chair, I started to snore

Volkswagen accessories just introduced this bad boy, it is meant to bring the 99-05  Generation Jetta, GTI, Golf and Passat up to modern times with features such as:

MP3/WMA playback

Volk-L hands free bluetooth
