Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions

[b c]

The only thing I really would like the car to do (which I don't think it can) is activate google now/siri when I press the voice button. But alas!

Somewhere on this forum (or maybe another), someone posted a link to Mobile Home, which seems to be a remote "Home" button for your phone, linked via Bluetooth. It seems like it might do the job.

Thanks for that I'll see if I can find something similar for Android. In my previous car my Jabra handsfree gave me this functionality. But it will take over the phone functions too so I don't think I could use that, though I might try.

Cheers!

Interesting re: Mobile Home. What a pity there isn't some way to have the voice control button to connect up to Siri/Google.

These days I've found the in-car Sat Nav is too slow and cumbersome to input the address (which usually I don't know or have to look up manually on my phone anyway). Instead I use my iPhone to activate Siri and say "Take me to [the name of a building/restaurant etc]" and then I'm ready to start driving my car. My phone is held in the right central air vent where it is easy to see my phone for Sat Nav or Trapster.

This is the product that holds my phone in the car vent, I would highly recommend it!

Check out Golf Mk7 45D4 Update. It's an update for the ECU, door controllers, electronic handbrake etc.

I have also seen that with some VCDS coding people who have the led tail lights can get the whole brake lights to work... Was wondering if you have the normal tail lights (non led) dose the same coding light up the center lights? Or is there no blobs there in the first place??

I've noticed that at full lock, low speed (parking) I'm hearing a rubbing noise Is that just the tyres and the angle to the road?

My GTI has non-led tail lights and the whole cluster lights up on each side and has done since day 1.

I honestly think it's a mistake if the LEDs on GTI PPs and Rs have half-lit clusters. All the bulbs and wiring are already installed

My Highline does light up completely as well but only tail lights not brake lights. Can the whole cluster light up when braking as well with some coding?
