    Visit your friendly Volkswagen dealer...

    You need to purchase Voice Control from Volkswagen - it is an Activation Code that the dealer needs to input.

    When purchasing our GTI we made sure we optioned it at no cost - it had to be ordered in from Germany and took a few weeks. I've heard some dealers charge between $250 and $450 for this. You may be lucky if you have a good relationship with your dealer to get if for no charge, but don't count on it.

    Is it any good? Would you pay for it having seen what it's like?

    Voice was included when I went from MIB1 to MiB2/DAB+ and the 8" screen.

    FWIW, I wouldn't get too excited about it. I don't use mine and I don't think it's worth paying for..

    Carplay/Siri is better.

    The Golf is my wife's car. She doesn't use it, she prefers to pick up from her 'favourite's on the touch screen. I've used it a couple of times but I think it works better in my Passat which has RNS510 and voice control as a standard feature.

    Remember our Golf only has MIB1 so we can't access Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I understand that on MIB2 if you hold down the Voice button it will take you to either of those Apps and their voice commands. So if you have an MY16 Golf or later you probably don't need Voice Control.

    On my MY17 using Apple CarPlay, if I press the voice button on the steering wheel or the MIB I just get the message to pay for the code from my friendly VW dealer. Siri is great though and can be accessed by simply saying "hey Siri" so not a big deal.
