2009 Changes to Tiguan on AUST Brochure

[tiguan_hunting]

I test drove the TDI a few days ago with the std RCD310 radio and it definitely does have the Optical Parking System display coming up on the radio screen. I too have the brochure from March 2009 and it does not show it in there. However if you have a look at the new Golf brochure it does show how the Optical Parking System will look like on the RCD310.

I also spoke to the dealer and they have received no communication on any upgrade to 2010 models. However I was told that they may get more info after July 2009.

I think alot of the confusion comes between
Park Assist and the Optical Parking Sensors.

Park Assist - parallel parks the car itself... and is displayed on the central dashboard (Multi Function Display)...

Optical Parking Sensors (also used by Park Assist) can be fitted just as Optical Parking Sensors - front and rear - which displays how close you are to objects - that it is this that is displayed on your radio head unit.

True, but to get OPS you need parking sensors. To get parking sensors, you need Park Assist (factory fit). I think the dealer can fit rear parking sensors for you as an option, but not sure if that includes the optical display.

Went to Barlo Glen Waverley this morning and they have a Catalina Blue Tiguan that is a late 2008 build with RCD 310 so Mine should be OK I hope.
Their price was a joke on the car though. I could eat my lunch in the cars and listen to the music and no one would come to see if I wanted to buy the car, been there many times. Like others say, this dealership is obviously not desperate to sell cars.

Is it the Parrot brand fitted by the dealer for $715.99 ?
I wouldn't buy that option again, it failed once already in our GolfV and had to be replaced under the warranty by the dealer.

I don't believe it is...
Dealer said they weren't using that one any more...
is Volkwagen endorsed and he thought it might have even been a Nokia?!?!
Only picked mine up tonight - so will see what I can glean from the paperwork in the car.
