Re: confused me today - Android Auto

AA updated the GUI recently and it is possible to get full screen maps. If I recall on the bottom right there is a box you tap and it then goes full screen. When I next use AA I'll take a picture or two to help.

Re: Polo GTI long term costs estimation

@OomStu_ZA; the poor running that you experienced may have been a consequence of the fuel quality in South Africa contributing to carbon build up over time. I seem to remember you posting a while back that VW ZA had said the facelift Polo GTI didn’t get the 7 speed DSG and the small uplift in engin...

Re: Polo GTI long term costs estimation

I am also an older driver shall we say, have had my Polo GTI since new (2019) and currently have 96000KM's on the odometer. Last year I went to my local VW dealer and got a quote for a new face lift model as well as trade in value on my current car. Needless to say once the numbers were crunched I o...

For AA I have pre-download maps for my region and can use it when there is no data available.

Re: confused me today - Android Auto

Yes it has also happened to me. The newer Anroid phones have AA preinstalled, not as an app from the app store. AA works for me as in I see AA on the infotainment screen but no MAPS. I've also tried various suggestions to no avail until someone asked if I'd tried a different cable and that seems to ...

Re: Disable bluetooth when using Android Auto?

I speak under correction but am sure Bluetooth needs to be enabled when using Android Auto, even with a cable connected. I may be wrong but do recall reading about it sometime back. Something else I've also noticed (probably unrelated) is that when my phone is conected via Bluetooth only (no cables)...

Saw this while watching a YouTube clip, a different take on the rear brake light below the spolier. Not too shabby me thinks.

Re: New edition 25 polo gti

https://youtu.be/hRwZNhoTXio Those (presumably metal) valve caps with the VW logo seem to be a strange choice by VW. Metal valve caps have a habit of corroding onto the tyre valve stems because of galvanic corrosion between the different metals used for the caps and the valve stems. A little inconv...

I love Manufacturer videos like this, that are staged (scripted) just makes me laugh but we do get some more shots of the car
Cheesy, right? lol
