Hi all,
18 years old, work in IT, just bought myself a first car, a white 2002 Verada GTV with 130,000 k's and immaculate exterior/awesome interior. Problem is, playing around with the sat nav learning how to use it I've set the bloody security code on it. I misread it and thought setting the code would allow me to set my own (Just wanted to see how it works) but I'm now entirely locked out of the GPS, just displays "SAFE" on the screen.
Is this something I can do myself (A reset switch somewhere, a default code etc.) or is this going to be an expensive dealer thing? As well, the cradle for the Blaupunkt remote has come loose from the centre console. The wood grain centre console that it screws into appears to have had the threads worn away enough that the screws spin freely in it. Any way to deal with this or am I basically up for some glue? :P
And finally, the bit of thin black plastic below the shifter surround has bent so that when the car is in Drive, you can see a hole through the Tiptronic gate. It's an extremely minor cosmetic thing, I didn't notice until I got it home, but is it easy to pull the surround and bend this back or not worth bothering? Mechanically it is sound, all the electronics work, and it's just been serviced and every service was done by the previous owner. Four new tires as well. These listed are the only faults I have :)
Cheers!
