Most of those were meant to be covered off in the 11.5 change which is annoying, well it is for me with all white screens bar the climate control

Its already implemented. Solitaire in SA said my one of build week 37 is the first one they've seen so far with my12 on the NADCON. So possibly anything after week 37 (or around that week) will all be my12? Not sure...

Agreed!

Volkswagen Group Australia are boring! Whilst it seems the majority of Australians are also boring with their colour selection (just look at the number of white and silver sales), I don't understand why Volkswagen Group Australia want to exclude all the non-boring people from buying their cars! Sure... Savanna Yellow might not be their number 1 seller, but it takes an interesting person to buy it, and if I were the head of VGA, I'd be encouraging "interesting customers"
