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

[portas1971]

The Czech site does offer HUD in the equipment list ... but I would much rather have Wireless Charging over HUD

IMO, Wireless charging is pretty useless unless it also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

That is the 'ideal'

But in the interim, Wireless Charging solves the issue of just placing your phone on the charging mat for trips where you don't need to use Android Auto, especially if your phone is low on battery

That for me would be 70% of the time where I am travelling to places I don't need to use Google Maps

It would be handy for sure. I reckon there would be somewhere that you could buy a retrofit. I might do some searching, given that the euro tigs have it standard.

Not sure if this is the right one, it mentions Tiguan L. Also not sure what is involved in installing this and if any coding is required:

Reading the following Ross Tech post it has the details for the coding to enable this but it looks like there are more parts required to fit this:

You guys are aware that wireless charging has been pulled from production due to technical issues?

You could go with something like this and just mount it in the centre console and then wire it up to the 12V cigarette lighter:

Inbay Universal Qi-Smartphone-Unterlage, 3 Spulen, 12V

I think it would be much quicker and cheaper and if done right probably wouldn’t even know it was there.

I had considered getting one now that I have a iPhone X but I plug mine in all the time instead to use CarPlay. If they ever got wireless CarPlay going then I would get rid of my phone mount and get one of these instead.

VW dealer read out the 15 June 2018 Internal VW Bulletin that went to all Dealers for the MY19 Tiguan

- Almost all changes were small cosmetic items (i.e. removal of chrome from 4WD console dial)
- Extra button on steering wheel
- New blue color
- Driver assist now via all 4 wheels instead of just the front wheels only
- No engine changes were listed

He said MY19 detailed specs have still not been released
