First time Mk7.5 owner in the early days of setting up my car. Lots of terrific tips here. Thanks!
Great video! I learned so much. With Covid I could not get a lesson at the dealer.
Great vid. Respect from England 🏴
Thanks, I just bought my manual 2018 golf r a week ago and now I have it set JUST the way I want it!
How you finding the car
The button click is a personal preference thing. I personally think it’s gets annoying to have all of the clicks so I keep that one turned off. To each their own though.
you do get the turn signals etc on your left screen. You need to change the options for what you want to see in the gauge cluster or what ever they are called. You can change this through your steering wheel
There’s some hidden gems in VCDS/OBD11. A big one is Starting Vibration Reduction. Set from Strong to Normal = WAYYYY less wheel spin.
Really?? Care to explain what this function is and how it works?
@@nmk7.5 it enables full power delivery. Setting used on the GTI Clubsport S.
@@JoJoJoker awesome. How does enabling full power delivery limit wheel spin? Edit: My bad, totally ignored the fact that you said to set it from strong to normal, makes sense now.
@@nmk7.5if you slam the throttle from a standstill, what seems to be wheel hop is actually the car cutting power. I've never turned the setting to "off" but in normal mode it just grips and goes!
@@JoJoJoker that’s so sick! Thanks for the info dude ✌🏼
4:01 LMAO "Pardon?"
...and Siri sounded sooooo happy :-)
Hi mate. Like your insights. Your first insight here is wrong but I think you may know that by now? You need to get in to the car settings to allow it. I’ve just spent an hour trying to figure your hack out! Nice job generally man. 🤙
You can get nav instructions in the cluster - get rid of the fuel economy stuff in the center of the big dials and choose "navigation" for those, and voila, your turn-by-turn info shows up there.
Yes but not when the map is in the cluster. Oh nav info in the RPM and speedo, I’ll try that.
@@netcruzer Trust me, it works!
Hi.Any chance of changing wallpaper on the unit?
Thank you! Now I don’t feel stupid. Lol.
hi mate have got a 7.5 r today I I got loss off sound to my stereo any ideas what it could be
the split screen works with google maps + waze, from what i've tried :)
you in Ottawa area? I seen the magic 100 radio and saint felix road. I can’t wait to get my Golf 🔥
Same. Lol. That's hilarious
Have a 2018 7.5 Golf R......no Buttons on the Media Screen???
I have the same unit in my passat 2020 vehicle. There is a problem of rewinding mp3 tracks in flash memory from typ-c input. For example, it comes up to the 20th track. When you get out of the vehicle and come back after a while, the parts return to the beginning. Can you help with this issue? 3G5035832A-H22-0306 release
Can you watch any video on your stereo through media
The sound is on by default in the UK
How ya get CD player on
How do you delete satnav destinations? Nobody seems to know!
Could you change the display lighting or was the ambient lighting was only for the digital cockpit only?
This settings change both and The buttons
Hey, I’ve just brought a Golf 7.5 Alltrack and am very unsure how to complete long coding, I’m in the Ottawa also and was wondering if I could meet and I can get some help / knowledge ?
Coding for? What are you trying to do?
I’d like to get the top inner and outer tail lights synced and use them as the turn signal
Whate is the size of screen
what I would like to know is does functions depending on your head unit you have in your car,
or the way VW program the car?
I’d say both. You need to keep the stock head unit and if you have a 2016 to 2020 North American VW it should have most of not all of the things I’ve shown.
@@netcruzer ok! I’m in the uk so I other have few different from you guys in the state. I don’t have the ambient lighting pack.
Can you use apple carplay maps on the digital gauge cluster?
no big man. new q3 I drove will do that, but only text from CarPlay maps can be shown. I didn't try it in the mk8 gti I drove but the infotainment looked similar. I dont think mk7s got this
Cool video! I know it's off topic, but what's the brand and model of the steering wheel gear paddles? Are they as precise as the OEM ones? Thanks
racingline paddle shifters - yes precise
can you remove the small 10/30/50 km signs on the speedometer so its like some other golfs that show only 20/40/60/80/100 till 280 or 320 in ur case
Sorry for late reply. Yes you can but you lose the dotted background.
Can you save files on the infotainment system, in other words does it have its on memory?
No internal storage, you can use SD cards
Exactly what year is the car you're in?? I just got a 2021 GTI Autobahn and I don't have the "Performance Monitor", actually...I only have TMPS, Since Start, Since Refuel, Long Term, and Vehicle Status avaliable? Is there some setting to turn the other menues on?
Also, I still have an analog dash, not a digital dash?
I have a 2018. I heard performance monitor started disappearing in 2019+, I didn’t follow if there was a fix. Check out OBDeleven as a device that might get that working for you.
@@netcruzer I found an Official 2021 VW GTI media release document that states the 2021 Autobahn and SE have the Performance Monitor gauges. I'm assuming this is something that the dealer can activate/deactivate upon delivery in house with their own version of an OBD11. I'm going back to my dealer tomorrow to see.
For the life of me I can't find how to rewind a current song or go back play a song that was played already on the Sat radio, I did it once but can't remember how. Nothing in the manual either. I know it erases once channel is changed.
So I retrofitted the 2018 golf r infotainment screen in my 2016 R. How can I get my menu to look like yours? Like with the blue accents and stuff? The menu theme looks different vs mine
These documents are only program with one basic theme. If yours doesn't look like his perhaps yours is not a North American head unit? You would have to reprogram it with an OBDeleven or something like that
@@NoZenith I found out that since I have a 2016 Golf R MIB2 head unit, I’d have to upgrade to a 2017 Golf R MIB2 head unit in order to get the new UI skin
@@Jvilleman400 so you have the smaller screen with the physical buttons on each side?
@@NoZenith I did yes
For the button tone, you are not supposed to touch the screen when driving as it can distract you from the road.
Radio, initiating nav functions, gong back to App (Navigation/Map screen) after changing the radio or going to phone to call a preset favorite etc etc etc.
How do I remove a station from my favourites list ? Can add but can’t work out how to remove ?
Hmm, not sure. I’ve not tried, just oveerwritten them with a long press on a different station. Might take a full reset to clear them out. Also different driver profiles have different station presets.
To connect CarPlay it ask me use usb but it seems like it ask for original usb cable for iPhone. How do you connect CarPlay as it won’t read via Bluetooth :(
You need to ensure the USB A to lightning cable is full data and not just USB power. Some cheaper dollar store cables are charge only. Need a data cable for CarPlay.
Is it possible to turn off the radio without turning off the infotainment system (i.e. leave the Navigation display on)? It appears the only way is to either turn the volume down or select Media?
Yeah that’s right. You have to switch source or turn volume down.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS Just want to say thanks for the reply!
Don't u have menu to change the view? The nav direction will shown in the circle gauge cluster
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I can also have map in both screens.
@@crainger nav on both screen only supported in the 9.2" discover pro version..
Can you insert station logos on mib3?
Yes
I have 2020 GTI S same system pretty much, how do i get station logos and album art also is there Sirius radio ?
Hi, in my 7.5 R every time I turn off the car a message saying “Goodbye (previous owner name), do not forget your phone” pops up, I’ve restarted to factory settings different times but that doesn’t go away
You need to find the driver profiles and change the name.
its insane they have made cars so complicated. i just got a gti and the complexities in silly infotaintment are dangerous.
dangerous in the hands of the incompetent, sure
You seem to know alot about obd11,
Something i want to ask is
Can you program a new or used virtual cockpit unit into an analog car using obd11
No..... Hardware and software are more than just coding.
@@Riddlemt i thought this myself. However someone said it was possible and i thought it must require a patch of some kind
Can you change the car on the screen to the actual colour of ur car? Divnt like the grey car as mines blue!
Hi what software is this infotainment using on the video ? Please let me know
Discovery pro.
Nice I hear you can turn on/off the emissions system too.....oh wait....that’s just option on the diesels😎😂. RIP VAG!
Lol 😂
Lol VAG is entirely too large to fail
None of these are hidden or “gems”.
He is Canadian.. they are brilliant! Remember?
not sure if anyone with apple phones realize this, but android auto has a better UI than apple car play. i recently switched from a samsung to iphone due to getting a free apple watch from family. I miss android auto, especially because apple car play in maps, or google maps full screen mode while playing music it doesnt bring a small drop down pop up when changing songs. sadly you need to be on spilt mode to even see songs change.
My 7.5 looks different. It is all digital at the screen. No buttons in Australia
North America didn’t get the biggest screen no knobs infotainment. Are the gestures and settings the same?
Does it support Android Auto?
Thanks!
Yes
How do you keep the navigation map in dark mode all the time?
It’s an option in the nav settings.
Shout out Ottawa. Chez 106 is the cats ass
how can u run your golf R over 770 km for a full tank....ridicious..I only run 600 km max....lol
Max I get is 450 Kilometer 🥴
I get around 800km
770km range? How? I fill to the top and only get 660
My driving is mostly 80kph roads, more efficient than in cities
Nice!
Hello. Any idea how to fix a bug? When I plug in any apple phone it says device doesn’t support apple play. That any apple phone even through a genuine apple cable. Have you any advice?
No, I’ve not seen that problem.
am i the only on who wonders how he get 770km on his view on a golf r
Siri will use google maps. You just have to ask her.
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAB (DIGITAL RADIO) IT IS NOT EVEN ON THEIR PRO VERSION ... WHAT A JOKE.
I wouldn’t consider those “hidden gems” besides making the navigation slightly larger in the cluster lol.
Just have to mess with the settings, so it’s more of a “how to” video.
If you study the book some of this is explained, but most do not do that. Considering the amount of questions I've had over the years of how do I get that clock, or how did you get your infotainment to do 'whatever' I felt these were not obvious enough. Sure maybe not hidden, but not obvious either.
How on Earth have you got 700km range on a golf R 🤣🤣 my GTI only gives 550-600 max
Lol i get 450
"...It's the useless Volkswagen voice control, which always gets it wrong and never does anything right!"
"Pardon?"
🤣 (ROFL)
