Thanks much! I was doing a test drive and wasting too much time playing around with the displays and getting frustrated about it. Because driving this car is really the good stuff.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Understand. It takes some time to learn. Good to drive for sure.

I’m an older female who’s horrible at anything tech. It’s actually a very good system that’s very easy to get used to in just a few days.

[@rammix5259]

That was helpful, thank you

[@smok3r22]

Great vid friend, have a question regarding steering wheel controls, do you possibly know how to answer or hangup calls from steering wheel?
its use to be OK button on mk7.5 but not on this mk8
Thanks

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. I only just saw this for some reason. I believe it is the same OK button when call comes in.

[@vfw2]

Thank you for this! Can you display Apple CarPlay / Android Auto’s map guidance in the centre like you did for the built-in navigation?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately not possible. Only the VW navigation can be displayed.

[@gunner4lifeng]

Also in the different dash displays if you long press the view button you can make the inner clock info disappeare and re apear very handy in maps mode

[@JerryPanandCars]

Great to know. Thanks for sharing

[@secpozz]

Does anyone know how to change the units in the active info display, I have a ‘23 R and I can see the power output as kw, I want to change it to hp.
(Units menu in the infotainment screen didn’t work, I tried pressing buttons twice/longer, changed language etc but coudn’t find how to change it)

Where’s the trip odometer 2023 Golf R?

[@Ethendl]

Outside temperature and time is not visible on my display. You say it is permanent. Does that mean that it is not available to me? I have a 2021 GTE.

[@JerryPanandCars]

It may not be available in other countries.

[@thomasprince4113]

Do more VW info systems dash

[@JerryPanandCars]

Will do. Thanks for the comment.

[@Jeff034]

How to dim instrument display at night?

[@JerryPanandCars]

It is controlled in the centre screen.
