2019 Tiguan Rline - Which Steering Wheel button to Answer & Hangup Phone Call ?

[FastMitch]

Tested again today with the AID

An extra few clicks via the AID buttons but not a fail

Although I would have preferred a dedicated button its ok once you get used to scrolling through the AID to the phone menu

It's the "OK" button on the RHS of the wheel

When a call comes through, it comes up on the screen (at least on AID) with "OK" to answer, and then changes to "OK" to hang up once you are in the call

Funnily enough, this instructional video shows a different way

What about if using CarPlay? Seems a strange feature to omit, when safety is such a big marketing tool- plus phone use is particularly a focus in most markets.

I'd assume you'd have to use the touch screen on the media unit with CarPlay.

I reckon the biggest limitation is there is no Siri eyes free (or assistant button) like in nearly every other car. Yes the talk button works as Siri whilst in CarPlay, but when only using bluetooth the same button should also bring up Siri.

So in a BMW the talk button on the steering wheel works like this:

- If phone is either plugged in or connected via bluetooth, a single press of the button uses the BMW voice assistant, however a press and hold uses the Siri eyesfree. Hence not needing to have CarPlay turned on.

Wish there was a way for the same to work

Did you try the press and hold with the Tiguan to see if this works the same ?

even though I’ve had the car for over a month I continue to do this because I was so use to it in my old car

Agreed - its not as if you change the assists every hour. You set the assists and leave them set.

I reset DLA every time I drive my car because I mostly use it on freeway or open country roads. As soon as I get on a tight road or enter a metro area it goes off. I live in the bush, if I was driving solely in metro areas it would be off all the time unlike most who never leave the metro area. I don't even look at the dashboard when I do it as the button presses are just so easy to do.

I have begun to use voice recognition for phone calls, I have made two calls in the last few months and it worked both times which completely astounded me I must admit.
