    Picked up my GTI today, it's great. Still trying to get my head around the Carplay and Bluetooth etc (which I've never had before). Question, is the car supposed to have voice control? When I press the voice button on the steering wheel or next to the screen it just gives me a message saying voice control not active contact my dealer. Interestingly when I use Carplay I can get it to send texts and make calls etc by voice (and the voice recognition is incredible), but to initiate the voice control I have to press a button within the Carplay menu as the other 2 voice buttons don't work.

    Hi HPSOV, I haven't got my GTI yet so can't confirm, but just a thought that maybe holding down the voice control button on the steering wheel may invoke voice control through CarPlay (Siri)? I.e just as if you were doing it on the phone.

    Also, I think you may be able to say "Hey Siri" to activate it without pressing any buttons. You may just need to make sure the option in enabled on the phone under Siri.

    The voice button hadn't been enabled on the pre update golf and only served as a mute button. Well that's what it does in my my14 gti.

    I hope for new owners they get the full deal.

    Should be able to enable via VCDS. I have a Octavia RS and voice control is enabled and fully functional.

    What's the rrp drive away price for the MY16 GTI PP with all options in VIC? I have a suspicion they charged me the my15 price which I think is 2k more!

    Should probably ask this in the GTI thread. Despite that hiccup I can tell you that the GTI PP should be $2k cheaper. The RRP of the GTI PP here in QLD is $49,990 drive away which is taken straight off the VW website. I'd expect a healthy discount on that price if you can help it.

    Well I paid 55k fully optioned which I'm thinking is steep

    Problem is they will try to screw me over in any case if I change. I asked today if it was too late to change to the R, they said yes. The GTI will be here in mid to late October!
    I'm sure that they would be able to find someone else to sell the GTI you have ordered to.

    Assuming you signed subject to finance. I would find another dealer who is more accommodating and then go back to the original dealer and say you've lost your job, have to cancel and need your deposit refunded. Buy the R from the new dealer. Maybe not really the right thing to do but it doesn't sound like the dealer is being very helpful in any event.

    You are right the MY15 price is 2K more than the new MY 16 price and when I first saw that there was a 2K price drop on the MY16 my thoughts were the same as yours.

    But.....

    If you paid the MY15 run out price ($49, 990 drive away) you likely got a better deal than you would get if you went in to buy a MY16 model now.

    Based on the new pricing (and also based on SA government charges):

    Car: $46, 490
    Stamp Duty: $1800
    12 Months Rego: $690
    Registration Plate: $44 (including new registration fee)
    Dealer Delivery: $2490 (some dealers charge more and some less)

    Total: $51, 514

    So an MY16 is slightly more expensive than an MY15 at the run out price. Not a lot more i'll grant you, but you do start negotiations at a higher price.

    I signed my contract for a GTI PP based on the run out price and I am happy. Got Driver Assist, Sunroof, Extended Warranty and Premium Plates for just over $53K and I am getting an MY16 model. IMO you would probably be hard pressed to walk in to a dealer at the moment looking to buy a MY16 and do a deal that good.

    This is the MY15 "Special Run Out Price"
