Side Assist "Function Not Available"

Well car was checked today. Looks to be a bad module. New module on order to be fitted next week.

Mine is booked in Wednesday next week. Bet you I have the same issue!

Haha, maybe. I'm still waiting for the part to arrive. I might give them a call Wednesday. Usually they've gotten parts in overnight, but maybe modules have a wait.

These 7.5 are not lasting too long in the wild . It’s a pity that new tech has a few glitches. Mines less than 10k old... really don’t need any glitches for at least 150k on the clock. But good to get a new module to start fresh.

Well I've had issues with all my new cars. One Falcon has a door that wouldn't lock and when I tried the alarm would go off, it also had an alternator die, another had a bad power window master control switch, a HVAC mixer shaft break and the driver seat foam disintegrate. Both had the headliner fall down.

This is the first issue in around 6 months of ownership and 6000km, so I'm not too put off. Yet... But this is my first VW.

Car is booked in for Monday, module arrived today. Fingers crossed.

New module installed. Working fine. Side assist and rear traffic are selectable in the menus again.

So mine is working again as well. Turns out it was a software issue. They did a software update and all good again
