Tiguan MY18 Updates / Spec Changes

[Ozsko]

Never say never, The excuse on the phone was that the ADR's do not allow it to be fitted which I knew to be a load of BS but they persisted with the line even after I pointed out that Skoda and Audi both had it. They then told me that there is no way that either had it fitted and I was wrong in all respects. We ended the conversation there and I have since found brochures listing TJA in both brands and sent them to VW showing them that the reason is a load of BS. This has got legs and we are nowhere near ending the conversation, they only think they are. VW New Zealand according to a poster on The British Tiguan forum are investigating what is what and looking at this problem.

For what matters Toyota has it as well .I know my current drive which is an 86 has it and updates constantly.
ADR is for all imports or locally manufactured not just some, so i think they are just full of it.

If you specify a 2018 Build Vehicle you may indeed be ordering a MY18.5....
Back when I was looking in March there was up to a 12 mth wait on 162 fully optioned.
Turns out I could have a sept build if I wanted it. this would mean a 17 build MY18 delivered in Nov/Dec.
I decided to specify a 18 Build car... Expected March/april

I see the UK VW site has a brochure dated 4 July, with the new 'all glass' infotainment screen pictured. Also looks like the chrome trim is gone from the air vents.

How long do you get the Mapcare updates for?

The dealers are quoting from a VWA doc that has the word PROPOSED as part of that doc. VW have not yet committed to any of it in hard words though it would seem unlikely that it would be any different to what you have been told. The first vehicles have already been produced??? If that is the case then the spec must be locked in.

First video I've seen of my18. European model though.

Notice the fog lights, roof bar mounts, and entertainment unit are different to my17.
