    2 Issues

    I have 2 x TSI's ... I bought my new one, my wife loved it and we have 2!

    Has anyone had issues with the coming home light function? I have both cars set to 30 secs for leaving home and coming home. The leaving home works fine, but the coming home on both cars switches the lights off as soon as I remove the key? Anyone else have the same problem?

    My other issue is with my MDI. If I use my Classic iPod (current model), as it starts the next song it briefly drops the audio for a split second, sounds minor but it gets very annoying. If I use my iPhone it doesn't seem to drop the audio as bad but the song title seems to get stuck on the previous song from time to time.

    I'd be interested in any experiences??

    That said I love these new cars, they make for the 4th and 5th Golfs we have owned ... and by far the best!

    Thanks

    Flick the highbeam just as you leave the car and it will work.

    Are you using the car with the same key(remote) that coming/leaving home function was programmed with ? IIRC VWs can remember different setups for different keys.

    Second on costie's reply,

    Just flick your highbeam and it will turn on when you open the door.

    Personally i think this is silly and hope there will be an update so it will be the same setup as the Golf V

    Flick the high beam and open the door, I'll give it a run tonight.

    It works - thank you!

    Might have to refer the MDI issues to the dealer.

    I agree it should be configurable but I like it the way it is. At least you don't get some bogan saying you left your lights on. Just leaves them to tell you about the one reversing light and foglight.
