Driver Assist Package II - Discussion and Questions

**agentthumb** · 12-03-2015, 03:03 PM

Hey all, was looking at the VW website. In the build and configure tool for the Golf, Driver Assistance Package II is listed. However, there are no details anywhere about it on the site, or their sales brochure.

I've read somewhere it's the same as Driver Assist Package 1, but now with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. Can anyone confirm this please?

Yes, it's true. DAP2 is only available in cars built from wk3 of 2015 (MY15.5), which are only being offloaded from the ship this week (so will take 2 or 3 weeks to go through customs, compliance plate, transport to the dealer, then pre-delivery check.

They don't make a big deal about it on the VW website as they have plenty of stock of older cars, and no stock of the DAP2 cars.

Ah, excellent. Thanks for the info!

Going to test drive a 103 tsi wagon tomorrow. If all goes well, will place an order with DAP2. Looking at June/ July delivery.

Cofrmed. Ordered my car today, definitely no lane assist. They mentioned blind spot, but no one is sure if it comes with rear traffic alert.

The Lane Assist feature relies on a forward-facing camera mounted in the rearview mirror (near the light/rain sensor). I don't believe it's fitted to the Mk7 in Australia (although the Audi A3/S3 Assistance Pack includes it).

i haven't heard that it will include lane assistance however dealers have mentioned in australia that it will include side assist.

Correct. I almost bought an A3 before this VW and the Assistance Pack has all the features that VW disables in Australia.
