There’s a small hidden opening cover on the inside of the center console lid. You may notice the lid to the console is thicker than it needs to be. There’s a small sliding door large enough for folder paper, money, or cards. The sliding cover is only exposed to access when the cover is up and fully extended.
I have an Autobahn, and all those switches are also blank. The sunroof controls are on the ceiling. Great video though, I never knew about the air conditioning in the glove box!
I have a 2021 Autobahn. The switches around the shifter on the right are all for park assist and monitors. The switches on the left are for cycling driving modes, disabling auto stop/start, and traction control on/off.
Shoutout to the military guys out there 😂 I never knew that slot right there was for ID cards, I would always have to fish through my wallet in order to get it
Just purchased a mk7.5 and it did NOT come with the perf. monitor gauges. Super drag. Apparently it's coming "soon" in an update. As Cheech and Chong once said, "that's false advertising, Man"
weird i have a 2020 gti se and i have them, didnt know it till a few days ago and got there by clicking on the "car" button until it popped up, think theres away to get to it from settings as well
The Volkswagen dual clutch is very slow for dsg and VERY unreliable lol. They are not on par with other European dual clutch transmissions such as bmws 7spd
8 milliseconds is slow? It's literally about twice as long as it takes to blink your eyes. The general consensus online is that hey tend to VERY reliable as long as proper maintenance is done. VW has been using the DSG for 14+ years now if they were really that bad as far as reliability you'd have seen VW scrap them is favor of another option.
The upper/2nd level of the trunk cover is also used for if you wanted to install a full-sized spare tire as opposed to the small one.

Thanks for this - just bought a mk7 the other day and was curious about what other quirks and features it had. Really helpful
In the trunk, the upper level of the floor is used if you would like to store your trunk cover underneath it.
The 2021 models don’t have the performance monitor feature enabled. VW is supposedly working on a software patch

I have the 2020 and the volume knob does the same thing...lol. doesn't phase me.
3:55 Iridescent? Maybe. Incandescent? Definitely.
Where did you get that back black vw emblem!
I miss my MK7 GTI
Just bought a 2021 GTI SE. I'm coming from a 2011 GTI so there's ALOT I need to go through. Idk where to start lol
The "coin slots" are actually SD card holders. They happen to fit a $2 Canadian coin though.
Could you link your black badges?
Question for ya. I have a '21 SE. Do not all the GTI's have the performance gauges?
I also have a '21 SE (great car) and I can't access performance gauges
I have a 2020 mk7.5 GTI, unfortunately my volume knob still has the power symbol on it.
I have the 2019 autobahn and I don’t have that extra compartment under my seat. Wish I did
You don't get it in the Clubsport Edition 40 either.
Me neither. 😕. I ran out to the car to check that. Maybe because of the power seat motors?
I have the 2017 autobahn And all of my switches are blank too
They never changed it for the 2020 gti. Unfortunately it drives me insane sometimes 😂😂😂
I still don’t know how to access the boost gauge on the Mk7.5 GTI. Plenty of fuel economy screens but no boost gauge
How has it got a manuel handbrake

That's because you can save an image on the card and upload it as a wallpaper on the infotainment screen
Wish my Bluetooth audio worked
I actually don’t have a USB port. It’s some other kind of port but for sure ain’t no usb nor a headphone jack.
It’s a usb c port for new iPhones faster chargers and etc
what year ?
Looks like a 2017 model due to the older navigation system, I have a 2020 myself and they are very similar just more updated

Same. Bought a 2021 a few weeks ago. No Performance Monitor.
@@chewy1979 Spoke to VW and they say it's something their working on in an over the air update "soon". We shall see.
@@HardingTwentyNine I'll have to try and dig even deep than I did. I couldn't find it anywhere....Thanks for the reply!
I have a golf r
That got rid of a few of the things on this video. VW germs cheaper every year
If you push the lever to d and then push the lever down it goes into sport

Wrong just needs a flash tune for the dsg and then it’s absolutely insane
