30% is actually a good level... if maybe now a little too quiet lol. now means I can have it in Cupra mode all the way to work now without that droning noise. can now only hear it if i give it some beans so im happy with 30% for now.

It is Andrew, there are three clips to undo then a rivet at either end of the trim panel. If you undo these you can lift the panel just enough to get your hand in to unplug the soundaktor.

Worth the effort mate ;)

effort. that's the problem at the moment. can barely open a jar of marmalade with these ribs:)
went for a drive this morning which might have been a bit optimistic!
made me wish I'd gone for DSG as reaching for reverse was a pain.
literally....
in a week or so I'll have the damn box off.

Mounted The TMC box... Huge difference. Pre box my mates golf mk6 r superchips stage 1, slowly pulled away. Post box, he doesnt stand a chance.

If you're ever in MK or towards Northants then I can always do it through VCDS for you if it saves you killing yourself trying to do it.

Drove to N Wales. Rode around Coed Llandegla, had an overpriced orange drink & drove home. Two bikes on the roof & still managed an average of over 45mpg!

i asked you a question or two about this a few pages back if you care to respond? interested in reading any write up you would find the time to write about the box as I'm still deliberating a box or a remap etc. (as i'm sure are others)
thanks

ooh let me know how you get on. £720 is crazy expensive, even the DTUK box is only £400inc when essentially they do the same thing. what made you go for the TMC instead?
Hi, the price for Cupra is wrong at TMC website. Ive been in contact with Därom about that. I ordered for the Golf R. £349 + VAT. Same as dtuk. TMC has 4 connections while dtuk has 3. In my world, more is better.

No coding needed, just unplug it ;)

And where exactly is it located? I presume it's a little box?

Thanks

UPDATE: found it :) done the simple job, so much quicker than coding too :)
