Adaptive Lane Guidance

[zzc2010]

LANE ASSIST used to "ping pong" for me but then I found the function to make it adaptive. From what I understand, it learns how YOU stay in the lane. I don't ping pong any more.

But I will get ALG and TJA enabled at the dealer when I go in for a service. At 10,000km since January! Eeeek!

Which Year? MY ?

You are lucky. Such a good dealer.

Is it official or what?

I have a MY18 140TDI Highline with R Line and Luxury packs so it's basically a 2WD diesel R-Line.

Any good dealer will do mods for you if the mods are able to be done and aren't illegal.

So they knew what you were talking about? TJA?

My MY17 206 came enabled with ALG but no TJA. Always thought it was weird, interesting to see it's like that in the MY18's

Not in my experience. They wouldn't even enable traffic (TMC) on the GPS.

That's more that they probably couldn't rather than wouldn't. Traffic on GPS is stupid in Australia because it requires a subscription to a traffic service. Just use Google Maps. It adjusts nicely for traffic and works well.

It's not like all dealers won't, my wife's Golf had this (TMC on the built in GPS) enabled by the dealer on request. (Different dealer) I've already enable it via OBDEleven, that's one of the easiest mods... Can't use Google maps in car as I am on iOS, traffic is on Apple Maps too but I prefer to have a second opinion...

My point was mainly that you can't really expect a dealer to activate Traffic Jam Assist when it's not an available feature here and there's probably a reason for it...

The dealer who services my car is part of the group that my son works for. We get all our servicing done on the Golf and Tiguan with them and my son knows them very well, is welcome in the workshop etc so he has a better than normal relationship than a normal customer would ever have. They would not or could not because of VWA policy enable TJA in my car and argued the point that they should be allowed to do it. At that time no Tiguan had it in Oz so maybe VWA have changed their policy. Just my experience so take it for what it is worth.

Apple suck! One of the reasons I just switched back to Android is Apple CarPlay.

So we're on the same page here... Traffic Jam Assist is the function where the car holds it's lane and moves at slow speed or stop/start traffic on its own. Not traffic avoidance via GPS.

OK this is getting confusing, initially I was talking about getting TMC traffic updates on the built in GPS but others seemed to be saying that they would be able to get the dealer to enable Traffic Jam Assist (totally different function I agree). Someone on here was trying to plug a paid service getting TJA enabled in a round about way early in this thread.

As for Apple and Android, have used both, always hated Android, soo inconsistent across devices.
