The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

I saw the VIN briefly on the dealer's screen (nadoc?), and double checked it was 110TSI not 110TDI. Can I use the VIN to track the build?
Excited that this is likely a new engine for Australia.

Hi Stev99,

Yep you sure can. Also if you can contact the dealer and get it we can put it into the VW system, download the car data full specs, and then we can all find out if it has CarPlay and confirm the engine and other changes.

What do you think? You can pm the vin and I could email you copy of the report and list a copy online removing first the vin number.


Then we can start building a list of changes.

I ordered a MY16 103tsi r line and the dealer told me that it would be 110kw.

Do you have a vin number gh172 we can use ?

I'll have to see if I can get it from the dealer.

Hi,
Actually, I am having trouble finding the Carplay button , it automatically starts when I plug the cable in.
2 pictures, I will add more in an hour

I think I recall seing the button if I press "Phone" there will be an carplay symbol in the left buttom.
Check my link after 1 hour or 2




It's standard in 2016 model golf, with 6.5" instead of 5.8"
I do not think you can add it your self..
Maybe by replacing the whole head unit + trim when it will be available...

Ask your dealer if it is upgradable

Hey GolfRSweden, thanks for the info on the new CarPlay system. I've just ordered an MY16 GTI which comes with the new infotainment system and I'm curious to know if it integrates with the smaller MFD screen? For example, if using Apple Maps through CarPlay, will it show the next turn on the MFD?

Thanks!

Good question.

I'd also like to know how well Voice works - when pressing button on steering wheel, does it activate Siri (or Android equivalent)?

& how is Music App?

MY16 GTI ordered! The ship with my car on it just left Perth and is due in Sydney on the 26/7, hopefully I will be in the car early/mid August.

No voice control. Put the wing mirror control to left and it will dip for kerb view hen reversing. Also can't get the artwork to display any ideas?

I took delivery of my new Golf R 3 days ago and have a problem with the multi function display.
Once the car has been switched off for 4 hours or more the MFD screen is completely blank upon start-up, it takes between 5 and 15 minutes before coming on (when the car is still warm it takes between 10 and 30 seconds for the screen to switch on).
The radio will still play but the screen is completely blank and no button pushing will get it to come.
Even selecting reverse will not make the screen come on.
It is going back to the dealers next week but thought someone may have previous experience with this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think the dealer is the best place for this one. Best not to touch anything that may void your warranty.
