Tiguan 162 Rline questions / issues

[Cossor]

Can buy a USB C cable for Android phones and I question why people listen to audio books when they should be concentrating on driving and whats going on around them.. Also you cant put an SD into a Gen 3 unit as if you read thread it says it hasnt got a SD slot

Gee Hillbilly, that's a bit harsh. I previously used CD audio books for long boring trips Sydney/Melbourne, or Sydney/Brisbane and all around regional NSW. Later concentrated on audio books on DVD (Much safer as not tempted to change disc in traffic) BUT my work required me to have mobile phone access while traveling. This had to used with care: either pull over or else ask for call back until safe.
I also specified Dynaudio for previous Golf and present Passat. I like my classical music. Perhaps I should be concerned not to play Brahms Lullaby? Re USB and SD cards please pardon my bemusement regarding this lack. I was hoping that VW had some sort of friendly way of installing music, prerecorded podcasts etc etc into the car radio hard drive. (As in Passat).

Best not play Bolero either. Sorry but Ive set my reasons out in post above and stick by them.

I drove buses for years and hated it when passengers tried to engage in conversation when I was trying to deal with traffic, very off putting,similar like trying to listen to a person reading to you and you concentrating on that and secondly driving.

Seems they have catered to Euro stuff where it is connected externally and can update maps etc via that and nothing else.

You will just have to stick with a Kindle attached to your steering wheel and dont read while going around corners LOL

Or you could be like this truckie who has the right idea for boredom

There is a difference between having music playing as a background and some one reading a book which you have to semi concentrate to listen to it. I play music but its there without me concentrating on it.

Driving in todays traffic is a fulltime job and not something you do while you are doing something else.

Its a shame that more dont appreciate that by the way you see cars weaving around and varying speeds while drivers are on the phone , eating breakfast and have even seen them with papers on the steering wheel reading as they drive.

Another of my pet hates is drivers when talking to passengers ,have to turn and look at them. You can talk and watch ahead at the same time.
I have a friend who even turns and looks at back seat passengers when talking to them. I wont go with him any more as hes dangerous.

Also I didnt criticize anyone I asked a question if it was sensible and it isnt.

I drove for a living most of my life and have never listened to an audio book ever. Drive in the car read at home.

OK, Radio. same thing, apart from/weather/ traffic report, can become involved listening in latest news report, opinions etc. etc.

I totally agree, which is why I turn off radio, and listen to sat nav only, especially in Sydney traffic.

Eating breakfast? that's really pushing the envelope. Have to admit a packet of supermarket chips in lieu of lunch. News papers NO. BUT pre sat nav trying to navigate with a street directory on the steering wheel.

This is my one great upset with other drivers, taxi or otherwise. BUT gender especially, where gesticulation is an important part of communication . (Including my daughter)

However, you perhaps left out one extra pet hate, Drivers like me, towards end of life, driving cautiously, tend to slow traffic down. (Yes, have passed seniors driving test no problems)

Haha just to get you going a bit more I turned 80 last month and can still do point to point times I did years ago, by concentrating on only what Im doing. driving the car. ROFL

Yes my friend who looks at back seat passengers is as bad a passenger as he is a driver and talks with his hands and isnt shy about sticking them in front of my face when describing things. Have had to smack them down at times when I couldnt see because of them.


Brahms Hell no I have 2000 Country music tracks on my HDD

Seriously, Is or has VW decided that audio entertainment ,whether by actual input from external media, or broadcast such as radio, FM, Digital etc not be supported? Seems to me, the label is more important to the content? So does this mean that unless you have prerecorded content on an Apple or Galaxy phone (or equiv), then forget it. This removes the high content of audio books or music recordings available from local library's enjoyment. Important, unlike portable tape players which I plugged into car amplifier, these are now no longer available in any form such as DVD or CD let alone tape!!!
