MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

[dptiggie]

They are. Virtually no change. Pedestrian collision avoidance is standard and there’s the new blue silk colour.

The big change is introducing the Allspace 7 seater onto the range.

Ok thanks. Spoken to a couple of dealers this week and best info they had is one of them saying “we would’ve been notified by now if there were any significant changes”

The MY18.5 already has "Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) and pedestrian monitoring functions"

Is the Pedestrian collision avoidance something different ?

If it is something different, are you able to activate the Pedestrian collision avoidance via a VCDS tweak on the MY18.5 ?

Looks like some more info is trickling in to the US 2019 Spec
2019 Spec - VW Tiguan MK2 Forums

OK I'll have to quizz the dealer a bit more as I've checked the brochure/specs for MY18.5 and you're right it already has the pedestrian monitoring as standard. Maybe they're getting confused.

I'm guessing if it was pedestrian avoidance it may include steering as well rather than just alert/braking. I haven't yet physically seen a MY19 spec/changes document. I've just been told these word of mouth from the dealer.

In terms of VCDS it really will depend if the function is already written/available in the module that's in your car or if there's a new version of the control module with updated software that has the extra features. In which case you have to upgrade the module and then enable the option.

Tick tock ... its June on the clock and not a peep about MY19 specs

Should've asked the dealer - I was in over the weekend and they had said for a fully loaded the next shipment would be October, but, "you would get a MY19 model"

I didn't ask further as I know other dealers with stock, so wasn't interested in October delivery

Spoke to a VW dealer this morning and he said there is no change with the MY19 model and that if there was, the dealership would have already been notified.

Take this with a grain of salt as I couldn't tell if he was saying this to make the sale now instead of people waiting a few months until the MY19 is available.

VW are having huge issues with setting up compliance and testing of the emission standards as are all other manufacturers and are actually shutting down production as are BMW to prevent production problems so any changes to the 2019 cars are the least of their problems at the moment...https://www.bbc.com/news/business-44383226
