I'm sure this has been exhaustively discussed and I did try a search, then I got distracted by the for sale section...... but is there a Connect Data Plug available for the T6.1 ??
Hi all,just bought a T6 converted by Nomad,new to this but looking forward to adding a few of my own touches.Its a 2016 with 55000 on the clock but unfortunately living in N.I do not have the same opportunity to go to numerous shows on mainland although probably scarce at the mo anyway.Looking forward to viewing all the years experience of T6 members.
Morning all,
Thought i would stop in here and say hello as a new member. Just purchased a new to me 2016 T6 LWB Shuttle and will be looking at ways of making it my own. This forum has come up on a few searches of things i'm looking to do so i figure it'll be worthwhile to get involved.

Settle down with a cup of tea or several, and your wallet handy, and start reading. It's going to be expensive
You have no idea of the number of things you'll see that you never knew you needed!
We looked at Bodans before getting ours, what conversion are you going for?
And what spec van / colours?

Hi all, new to the forum. Build started on T6.1 conversion today. Just want to say thanks to the many many users on this forum that have posted helpful advice. Being new to this world it’s helped a lot.
I went for the Crantock conversion on a new 6.1 Highline T30 LWB 150ps DSG in Ravenna Blue. Having loads of extras on the van like heated seats, single seats, TPMS, rear view cam. The highline has some good extras over the Startline anyway. On the conversion I added under chassis water and gas tank, leather upholstery, solar panel, diesel heater, rear spoiler. Haven’t picked the internal or leather colours yet. I had to stop there as the cost was going up at an alarming rate lol
Haha, I’ve already spent many hours searching for extras but the wife has put her foot down lolSettle down with a cup of tea or several, and your wallet handy, and start reading. It's going to be expensive

With the rear kitchen? The Crantock / Clee was on our to-see list before we got impatient and went for the Leisuredrive. Sounds like a good spec, and LWB should be fine for storage. Gas and water underneath also frees up loads of space. If I was doing it again, would probably go for a very similar spec, 150 dsg.
Yep rear kitchen and fixed cassette toilet. I was glad to find a layout like this as it will work better for us. Bodans look like a quality conversion as well.With the rear kitchen?

Welcome to the forum. Do you the vehicle electrics (CANBUS etc) or “leisure“ electrics - the stuff you add for campers etc ?
Cheers,

Hi Pete thanks for the reply, I after a basic understanding for my camper it’s fitted with a leisure battery. the van came in pax at a Volkswagen dealership I work at and the previous owner can’t be contacted as he’s moved abroad with work or I would have picked his brains
Hello! New member up on the Scottish west coast here! Recently bought an ex-rental 18 plate T6. Planning on doing some bits and bobs to it so hope to pick some brains on here every now and then if that's ok.
Quick question to start with: the van has the discover media head unit and when I try to connect an iPhone with app connect it tells me I need an activation code. I've read a few posts on here that say it's gonna cost me 250 quid + to get it done at a vw dealer. There's a 'guy on Facebook' - North East VAG Adaptions that claims to be able to do it remotely for £100. I'm pretty dubious - has anyone come across these guys? Any good? Is it too good to be true?

Evening, recently bought a T6. Upgraded from a BG Caddy.
Hi @Lambchoplee ..Welcome ....I was in same boat regarding iPhone (CarPlay) & app connect but decided to change headunit to Kenwood as carplay was standard....Never known a remote activation but @Deaky might have your answer to whether it’s possible
Like this you mean?
Watching this too, seen the post on Facebook, I assume he can do what he says he can or you would soon know about it on FBHi @Lambchoplee ..Welcome ....I was in same boat regarding iPhone (CarPlay) & app connect but decided to change headunit to Kenwood as carplay was standard....Never known a remote activation but @Deaky might have your answer to whether it’s possible
