Tiguan MY18 Updates / Spec Changes

[Vwvw1212]

Hi everyone
Would like some feedback on those that have the my17 on order please.
I have the option of staying with my17 or switching over to my18 however will stretch out delivery by 1-2 more months.
It seems the my18 changes with TJA, ALG etc can be updated by software from what my dealer has told me. Failing that coding will enable these features anyway.
That leaves the new discover pro 9.2 vs. all the dropouts like headlight washer and removal of chrome trim. I am not too sure of the point of the new discover pro other than gesture control which sounds gimmicky as had it on a mobile phone and drove me mad! Prefer the old school dials and touch screen. In terms of the chrome trim that sounds like a big deal as this makes the car look more premium however not sure of the black trim looks? Most premium looking cars have chrome looking trim.
Anyways, would be great for anyones feedback on whether best to stick with my17 or switch over to my18? I am leaning the way of my17 given TJA/AGL can be coded regardless and the new discover pro sounds annoying with the gesture thing, chrome trim being removed ain't great.
Thanks!

I ordered mine on Thursday last week, and have been emailing my dealer requesting more information about the MY18 models. They were able to confirm all the safety additions but have said that on the information they received, the MY18 Tiguan won't be getting the new systems....

That's strange as the print out that Eyes24 got from the VW dealer lists the new infotainment systems. The German Tiguan forums also confirm that they are getting them. The Tiguan all space photos show the new systems too.

Hi Thanks for the info. Regarding the safety systems not fussed as if dealer can't do it then can be coded. Friends that have my17 now have alresdy added TJA, AGL etc.

Hi Vwvw1212,

I have been experimenting with coding TJA. To date I have managed to code AGL and it is working. How did your friends manage to enable TJA for MY17? What I have found comparing EU and AU spec Tiguans is that there are quite extensive codings to be done on modules 13, 17, 5F and A5, but there AU spec Tiguans only have two bytes in module 44 Steering Assist, compared to 7 bytes for EU spec Tiguans.

Not sure that the headlight washer affects us over here as I think it is still included in the packages with LEDs that we get in Oz. The gist in the UK forums was that it was now an added option along the many others that they get over there, rather than everything being in "Packs" like we get here.

I f that is the case then its removal of chrome vs gaining a 1.2" bigger screen for the head unit but losing real knobs. My delivery is right on the cusp of MY17 / MY18 so I'm going to let fate decide!

As always there is a significant chance that I am talking out of my posterior....

What date did you order and when is your quoted delivery date?

I have been given an indicative delivery date of 31 Aug. I haven't heard of any progress with build dates ect from my dealer yet. I might give her a call to see if it has been allocated yet. I'm hoping for week 22 build!

Don't forget to consider resale value on MY17 vs MY18.
