You omitted two features: 1. The icons on all the IS screens can be rearranged etc, like on a mobile phone - touch, hold and move, additional screens can be added / deleted. 2. The dropdown menu - the shortcuts shown can be changed as before touch, hold and change, especially add the one for traction control.

Thanks for that. I will make sure that is added in other future videos.

Hi Jerry. Thanks for the video. Two days in with my new Golf and this helped a lot. One question please - how do I get the icon showing my favourite radio station on full screen so I can see the name of the artist / track etc. I managed this by accident when I first got the car but the media screen now goes back to the default scenario as per your video. Thanks

Does Radio allow you to manualy tune the station by frequency? also can I use the display with rotary buttons on this vehicle, I realy don't like the touch display, its hard to navigate while driving and rotary controls are faster, also what mib is this, is it MIB2, 2.5 or 3?

Hi how do we change at what level the headlights are ? On my old golf there was a dial with 1,2 and 3. I can’t figure out how to do it on my new golf. They are quite low

Most new Golfs have got an adaptive headlight. The LEDs automatically change its leveling around corner, facing cars and etc. This is more advanced than the old one.

The radio display and the off- CarPlay/AndroidAuto Media Player is horrible and cheap in the Golf 8. Even my 2009 Skoda Octavia showed the track title played on the radio. This doesn't. The Bluetooth media player (when not in AndroidAuto/AppleCar) also doesn't show song titles, artwork and you cannot skip the songs. 🤷‍♂️

@JerryPanandCars 3 ай бұрын

it is probably related to your phone settings not allowing the unit to show your song information or skip songs. My phone connection is fine.

I don’t own this car but I own a car with a screen that’s like this trust me you need a bezel because when you are driving your hand is wobbling all of the place on these screens. I end up leaning my can on the screen as a way of getting stability so that I can then press what I want to. If I had less stability I wouldn’t be able to use these things hardly at all
