Sat Nav Sd Cards

[Ryan_R]

Given that button can easily be changed between voice control and mute in the Mk6 using VCDS, that might be a simple fix later one when Ross-Tech get their hands on a Mk7 and document the new control modules.

I'd think the SD shortage would only be a problem for a short amount of time and shouldn't be ongoing in the months to come. I don't really like the idea of maps on an SD card - more chance of it disappearing.

Very poor form VW Australia!

By your shock I take it you have never owned a vw or had to deal with there dealers believe me they are all shocking..

Might be a bit off topic but some VW dealerships are part of parent companies that own dealerships of other car brands. The one I go to in Canberra even share the same service workshops with their other dealerships. However I have heard more bad things about their VW team than the other ones they run. This brings me to ask whether it is a dealership thing, or a VW thing...

When I owned a Toyota for 5 years in Sydney I have gone to 3 different Toyota dealerships for service. I don't remember having any sort of problems with any of them at all. The notion that VW dealerships are shocking may be an effect of how VW has trained them. If dealerships are asked to react a certain way to problems then that's what they will do. A dealership refusing to fix a problem or saying there is no problem (when in fact there is), may not be of their own doing but rather as instructed by VW Australia.

I find it too convenient if VW Australia blamed their dealer network for its problems.

Good to hear, I was worried that I would be waiting a while for it when I just want to try it out!

So far so good, I am very happy with the car, still getting use to the dsg gearbox and the stop-start but all in all I have no complaints. I love the look and the interior is just a nice place to be especially at night with the led lighting. Our other car is a 118 and I find the performance very similar but sometimes I do miss that twin charge engine!

How are you finding your one mate?

HI Guys,

The car comes already allocated the SD card automatically if it has the sat nav option.

If the dealer hasnt given it to you they either forgot to order it against the car or dont understand the procedure.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

Sorry to bring this up again but I am still getting the run around from my dealer over this SD card. Apperently they still haven't arrived and 10 days have now passed since I have picked up the car. I need to know if any sat nav onwers have received the SD card or they getting the same story. I'm tring to work out how to respond to the dealer and just need to get some information.

Cheers

Hey,

I know the feeling, get your awesome new car but... There's one massive stain on your new shirt...Ask for some compensation, you have the right legally under consumer law, assuming you're in Queensland's jurisdiction...

My new car had the card in the slot & the official box in the glovebox.

You do realise that the dealers are the ones who are meant to order the SD cards and supply them with the vehicle upon sale!

Clearly Guy_H had a dealer who knew what they were doing!
