I know there is mute button top right on the head unit but can you mute from the steering wheel too? I can't see anything obvious

I have no idea whether you have a Polo 6R or a Polo 6C. On the Polo 6R, yes, it is possible but sometimes the button is coded to a different function.
There is one coding in the BCM and one coding in the RNS that needs to be changed, i.e. with VCDS.

OP; I see from your previous posts that you have a 2017 6c Polo GTI. There's no mute button on the steering wheel of the 6c Polo GTI.

thanks yes it is 2017 gti bit annoying no mute button on wheel thanks for replies

Hey, I have a 2017 GTI also, mine has the mute button at the bottom left side of the infotainment system, and a mute button on the left side of the steering wheel. Do you have an upgraded infotainment package or the standard one?

That's interesting graeme. Mine is a 2016 Polo GTI with the standard Composition Media infotainment unit with the mute button at the top right of the of the infotainment unit. I don't have a mute button on the steering wheel;

Forgot to mention I'm on the standard Composition Media too. Strange, from what I've read here there are 2 versions of both that and the wheel then, I think this affects App Connect availability too (or some other feature).

Just for reference, what variant is your car? I'm in a 3 door manual, maybe different setups are built in a separate location with different parts. Though you'd expect it to not be this inconsistent.

My car's a 5 door manual GTI and based on what I've read on this forum and elsewhere, I believe the version of my infotainment unit is Car Net App Connect compatible, although I didn't spec App Connect when the car was ordered and I've not had it activated since. I do have cruise control, so steering wheel volume controls for the infotainment unit in my car are in a different position to yours - bottom of the bank of buttons on the left hand side of the steering wheel; cruise control buttons are at the top.

Yes, same here with wife's August 2016 Polo 1.2TSI SEL (with cruise control 5 door) - why not, I'm sure that switch can be depressed!

Edit:- on second thought, the answer to my "why not" will probably be due to that area of the wheel controls is dedicated to CC, pity though!

has anyone tried clicking both volume buttons together?

i know on the van i drive, if you click both volume buttons it mutes the radio (Citroen berlingo )
