I was lucky to get the word that this stuff was on the way as I was looking at a new car a few weeks ago. I immediately put my wallet back in my pocket and decided to wait. I didn't know the whole story but I knew xenons were going to be standard and the screen was changing. My son has a GTI PP on order for October delivery and he was assured last week it would have all the new stuff in it.Originally Posted by Spanner82

Hmm...my Highline Wagon is on a boat heading this way however a BW21 day 3...just missed out by the sounds of things. Some nice things but nothing I'm too upset about. Carplay would have been nice though.

My order for a GTI Performance was placed with the dealer on the 5th of May. My requested delivery date was the 25th of October (long story). I called the dealer and they're going to confirm the model year for me. He says he thinks it'd be MY16 because the delivery date is so late in the year. Here's hoping!
If it's MY15 then I'll live; it is what I ordered after all. If it's MY16 then excellent. That being said if I had known about all these changes I would have bought the Golf R.
Lesson learnt. Never order a car until details regarding the next model year are official. Just have to be patient.
EDIT: Dealer got back to me. My car is due to hit the production line next week and will be MY16.

So much cool stuff I would love to have in my standard GTI.
I have to realize though that the price I paid a year ago for mine new wouldn't be doable on a my16 for at least another year or so.

Thank you. Now I feel a little better
Just contacted a dealer - they say the Discover Media upgrade is do-able (not sure if they meant CarPlay also) & should cost ~$2-3k.
If that gets me full-functionality (with Multi-Function Display & steering wheel controls with voice), then i'm in.............
Though, part's aren't in yet of course, so they suggested calling them back in a month or two.

I want to see if they have changed the options. My Mk6 has the Dynaudo option - and I've kinda grown used to it. I don't think I can go back to ordinary sound.

No, they'll be including most if not all on road costs in December and June as usual. It is only a mid-life update so supply will not be as limited as it is at release of a completely new series.

If the answer to the Monty Hall problem was 50/50, the contestant, on average, would win the car 50% of the time simply by sticking with their original guess...but you can only win a one-in-three guessing game 33.33% of the time so it can't be 50/50, can it?

True, but 41 driveaway for a my16 dsg is still a while away.

How much of a while that is would depend on how old you are...but for most people, December will be here much too soon.
