I have heard that the cables can impact it so I might try some other MFi cables I have lying around. The 50cm one is a perfect length though. I also wonder if it can be impacted by when I plug the phone in, as in at what stage of the infotainment's initialisation, and see if that impacts it.

It is extremely annoying, I was hoping it would be a lot more instantaneous so that I can be playing my music from my phone from where I left off when I shut the car down rather than waiting for it to re-connect and start up again. Throw in the change to the rear view camera which interrupts the start up process and it can be close to 5 minutes before I get to hear any music after starting up.

The Apple Car Play setup is actually more annoying at the moment than useful and ideally I would prefer to just stream music rather than plugin, hopefully this changes.

Would be keen to hear of anyone else's experiences.

solid feedback! Yes would be great to hear the outcome of a few more tests... or other experiences (this will be my first vw, so not much to add yet). Either way, 5 mins is unacceptable... it takes me 10 to get to work!

Does anyone have any experiences with Android auto and Samsung S7 phones?

I tested my Nexus 5 with the Tiguan at the dealership and it seemed to work perfectly. No delay in the audio starting or anything like what has been reported with the iPhones.

So you have the same issue with an iPhone and Apple Car play?

If I recall correctly, in the menu settings, you could choose either a male or female voice.

Ive trawled through all the menus, I must be missing it somehow?

There IS Active lane assist (or steering assist) to keep you in lane when going 70km or faster.

Under that speed it does not keep you in lane. So I guess traffic jam assist is only braking/accelerating but no steering/lane keep. So it's really just acc.

I have been driving my car for a few weeks now and this is what I have learned...

TJA requires active lane assist and Australian cars do not have this at any speed. The lane assist activated in Oz cars is not designated active, the active system calculates and assesses where the car sits in the lane, the type of lane system fitted to Oz cars allows the car to move across the lane until it is nearly on the line and then attempts to steer the car parallel to the line. The active system reads both lines and holds the car equidistant between them not allowing the car to wander. ALA is a proactive system and LA is a reactive system might be the best way to term the differences. TJA actively steers the car as well as starts/stops the car and maintains the distance set from the car in front. It requires no driver input at all where ACC requires a reset command or throttle movement after 3 seconds stationary time and does not steer the car at all. TJA is only active below 37KPH and the system fitted to Oz cars only works above that speed. I regard the system fitted to the OZ Tiguan as more of a gimmick than anything else.
