Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[Polo GTEye N9]

Hi Folks,
Require substantiation.

The 2019 Tiguan Sound & Vision package comes with Area View, front, rear and side cameras to provide 360 degree exterior view.

Does the 2019 Golf Sound & Vision package include Area View, front, rear and side cameras to provide 360 degree exterior view?

Cheers Al

I believe the short answer is ... no

360 view is not available on any Golf at present. Perhaps the MK8 will have it.

Hi all, question.
There is someone at my golf club (don't know the person) who has a MK7.5 White Golf R. It looks like the car has a moon roof, not a panoramic roof. The black glass roof goes all the way to the rear spoiler. I don't think this is available in Australia is it not?
Just curious as I look the look of it. All the cars I have seen with the sunroof have like only half the roof as the black glass, not the full roof....

It is the 4 door hatch as well btw.

That’s just a painted roof. It’s a pretty common mod.

Thanks for your relpy Sharkie.

I thought no was the answer! What do we know about the MK8 so far? That would be a question for the MK8 posts!

Pretty common?
Never seen it before.

Could be painted or possibly vinyl wrapped.

Definitely common on Mk7s when they went the ugly Pano roof - finishes the roof off properly in one color (when you have a light colored car - not so relevant on black or Lapiz), or as a nice contrast to the rest of the car e.g. my ED40 is black roofed, which sits well with the rest of the gloss black pieces on the car.

Judging by some of the info floating about on Mk8 I would be disappointed if it didn't do the dishes.

How dare you haha! I love the Mk7 pano roof!

Hi Golf owners with the Active Info Display, high resolution 12.3" TFT instrument display screen with customisable menus!

Lots of opinions here:
virtual dials vs traditional - VW Golf R MK7 Chat - VWROC - VW R Owners Club

[Kachingg]

I agree the digital dash has it all over a standard dash
