Nice pick . It'll give you way more room to fit stuff in for the kids and for sure the wife will probaly steal it, they always get the new car

Threw on my stubby antenna, chrome oem licence plate cover and euro switch today. Will look in to the sport mode setting.

Will have to sell my jetta winter wheels and get something for this at the end of the summer.

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

thanks all for comments. i think it was the right choice.

We'll see about the lowering... I think it will be sitting where it is for a little while though. Maybe next summer.

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

I'll try and get better pics here sooner or later.
I did the tiptronic mod Popp mentioned, and notice a difference for sure. I also disabled the incessant seatbelt chime. A guy can't step out of the car for a second without that thing freaking out. Headlights look kind of cool with the DRL's disabled and just the little marker lights on up front. Also got the OEM roof bars on and my Thule box on, so it looks pretty family now, but cooler than a van . I also managed to get the homelink garage door opener programmed. It now opens the garage door with button 1, turns on all the lights with button 2 and turns them all off with button 3. I think I'd like to find a Sharan style stubby antenna for the car.

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

nice.. what TIP mod did you do? i wonder if i can do it to the Ar?

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

the allroad probably has a button for sport mode. That's all this really is by the sounds of it. Passat just doesn't have a button.

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

yea it has sport mode already holds the gears to red line..

i thought you maybe had a fix for the annoying brake throttle lag which you've probably already discovered

I resent that
I can look into getting some gps/antenna bases again if you want one.
