MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

[Arkanoid007]

I hope the MY17 Mazda CX5 will resolve the issue surrounding cabin noise. If that is ok and with the addition of apple car play (revamped infotainment system) I will lean back towards the CX5 over the Tig. The towbar is a must for me but no way in hell am i paying $1700 -1900 for a tow bar in the Tig! The CX5 one is about $1100.

Here's an hour long British review of the Tiguan that some might find interesting

Does the highline have the folding electric mirrors or do you have to get the R-line package?

Highline itself comes with power folding mirrors, no need for R-line.

As for Comfortline, you only get it with either of the 2 option packs ie. DAP or Luxury Pack.

Question about data if I may?

I have an Audi A6 Allroad, C7, with the 3G+ MMI system. I have a SIM card slot in the dash and the car uses this SIM card and the external antenna to allow data to feed into the car through the 3G network. It uses it for a Google Earth overlay of the Nav map, as well as online searches for addresses and lots of other niceties.

The Tiguan has the Discover Pro system if you stump up for the Driver Assistance Pack which is identical to that fitted to the face lifted A6 and Q7. The next generation of MMI to what's fitted to my A6. I read somewhere that the Tiguan has a wireless hotspot in the vehicle which implies that the car is somehow connected to the outside world.

My question is what sort of data connection does the Tiguan have, if any? It may have a slot for a SIM card somewhere, of it may be able to leverage data from a connected smartphone through app connect. Anyone who has taken delivery of one mind having a look through your manual for me, or having a play to see what's available on your car?

I thought you only got the Discover Pro with the Highline - Comfortline with DAP is only Discover Media

[Gladbach]

The Discover Pro is indeed only in the Highline (not part of DAP). Also, what you're referring to is CarNet, but the Aussie Tiguan's won't get it unfortunately, no idea why.

What is the difference between Discover Pro and Discover Media?

this is one of the reason I think we might cancel our order for the r line this weekend. I think we will either go for the jeep srt or a merc of some sort.... still unsure, I need to go back and sit in the Tiguan again because I'm loosing excitement and starting to regret my decision..this is what happens when you have to wait 6 months to even see the car you ordered in person
