I wonder what would happen if we went to a dealer and said "I see you're advertising DAP with TJA but my DAP didn't come with TJA, I'm sure it's a quick fix for you so could you squeeze me in for a quick software update"?

Don't say anything about MY17, MY18 etc, just pretend you know nothing about it. Even better, send your wife to get the upgrade! I may give this a go if I can convince the wife

nice find.
I'd checked twice and it was still the old one.
Like to read up on all the minute details

Hello All,
Did you guys noticed the improvements on the ACC of the new Arteon.
It is now "Predictive" and it is connected to the GPS, the speed limit reader, and the dynamic lights.
Basically, using the GPS it can point the lights to a curve before you even turn the wheels, it can slow down your speed limit automatically by reading the speed limits and also when the GPS sees that you would need to break in order to make a curve.

How long do you think it will need for the Tiguan to get aligned on that feature?

Thank you,

almograve

Its definitely in MY18 builds been using it for a week now. I notice Nissan is also adopting 3 seconds as when a button is required to resume if stopped in traffic jam for extended period.

Hi guys, couple of questions if you have my18.

1. Does the boot have any sensors to stop when it's opening up and if it hits a barrier? My17 doesn't have this and could knock out a person!

2. Are the exhausts on 162tsi still fake?

Yes to both.
Although I get your comment that MY17 doesn't have a sensor per se... in my MY18 it senses resistance and has to effectively hit something before it stops and reverses direction. There is no beam sensor or sonar that I can observe to detect any obstacles.
I set it to limit the height so it doesn't bash my low garage door when opening... and make sure my toddler is clear when opening or closing because it is strong enough to knock him for a six, or trap a finger or two.
