I could never get an iPod to connect reliably in my Passat. (Or save the iTunes Tag data, but that’s another day’s rant.) For me, when the radio defaults, it goes to the SD card.

I’ve not had any issues with the Aux cord, or bluetooth pairing in either of our VW’s (her ‘09 Jetta, my ‘12 Passat).

It’s not that. I can drive to Walmart, listening to FM or Sirius, turn off the car, exit without touching the radio and upon my return, sometimes the radio will come on when the car starts and sometimes it won’t.

My wife has an ‘09 VW Jetta SE. Sometimes when you start up, the radio is off, other times it resumes with which ever source you were listening to before.

Here’s one from the flip side of the story....

I’m partial to the Buckle Black (fit 1)

I say if you’re going to “invade England” you F’en do it full bore ‘Merican style, Ford Excursion 7.2L Diesel 4x4! 

We use to own a V10 gas Excursion and I drove it though Manhattan towing my ‘97 Jetta....

I sold my MK III (1997) Jetta GLS (2.0l 5-sp) last summer, with 300,000 miles on it. I picked it up used on Jan 1, 2000, three weeks after my youngest girl was born. It was the only car she knew, and all four of my older kids learned to drive on it. I had taken it to 25 states over the years and done most of the…

Clearly they needed more coffee...

I say Nice Price. And that’s after I gave a way a ‘83 Tioga Arrow on a Chevy G30 chassis this weekend.

I had a Pueblo made Mk3 Jetta and it’s was dead reliable. I sold it after 16 years and 300K miles.

As I recall, for the Mk3 Jetta’s, the GTI’s and maybe the GLX’s were built in Germany with Mexican made radios and the GL’s and GLS’s were built in Mexico with German made radios....

I travel almost weekly for work and I take one of my game systems with me. I only use the browser to get past hotel landing pages. But then, maybe I’m an exception, I have a Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4 (plus the wife’s handhelds...) Why can’t I choose more than one option?

My oldest daughter spent last spring studying abroad. She had a strict budget for both the trip and any side excursions. she made the choice to visit Paris over her spring break, but that left her short for a flight back from Boston to Kansas City on her return. So she made the choice to take a bus instead. …

Ah, but does is have the mini donut spare?

One minor mistake...

I bought my 360 in 2014 when Walmart had them for $99. I’ve added a larger drive and enjoyed shopping for used games at my local game store. Last January I bought an Xbox One for $299 and didn’t buy my first new game until Dishonored 2 came out. This fall I picked up a used PS3 and 5 games for the Uncharted series…

I’ve been playing on an Xbox One since release day and haven’t noticed any technical woes...

And Murphy’s Law will now take effect, and my next session will crash spectacularly....

I started on the puzzle, making notes, but not getting very far. And I prefer to try and find literally everything, so I dropped my attempt and moved on to taking out all of the Howlers and the Overseers.

I’m playing as Emily and found the Domino power to be very invaluable for taking out the Overseers. I’d sit on…

I currently have an Xbox 360, PS3 and Xbox One in use, with games for each. I don’t care about exclusive periods, since I typically only buy used games (well there was Dishonored 2 and the annual Walmart Black Friday binge...) Honestly my collection of physical Xbox One games is my smallest. I have somewhere…
