MY10 Passat R36 Changes:

1. Revised luggage tie-down points.
2. ACC Adaptive Cruise Control as an option ($2,000)
3. Lane Change Assist as an option ($1,000)
4. ACC Adaptive Chassis Control as an option ($1,650)
5. Dark tinted rear glass as an option ($500)
6. New Anti-Theft wheel bolts
7. Self sealing mobility tyres for 18'' Alloy wheels
8. RVC Rear View Camera is now a seperately ordable option
with either RCD 510 OR RNS510. ($700)
9. Glove Box mounted CD Changer is no longer an option.
10. RNS 510 Satellite Navigation for the Wagon has been revised down
to $2,500 due to the RVC being optional.

Will be interesting to see if this relates to R36. I wouldn't believe half of what a saleman says until I saw it in VW brochures/pricing. It most probably relates to Passat Highline.

I wonder if the RVC option is for the sedan also, and we may get it for a 09 model???

Does the R36 have a digital radio, ie. capable of receiving the DAB+ broadcasts that have been on since July 2009?

[Swallowtail]

No. I thnk you can get it as an after market buy, not cheap tho.

The rear 'privacy glass' is apparently standard on the MY10 R36 wagon. Not sure if that includes the tail window as well. I guess for tinting that means only driver and passenger windows will need to be done.

I'm told they still have to apply clear film to the privacy glass to filter out UV when they do the fronts
