I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[Cobwebs]

ALG is an easy mod with OBDeleven on MY17. Widely available on this forum and elsewhere. TJA has been confirmed just a software update as well. There is a thread about it just under this thread.

I have read the relevant thread, and yes these comments are best done in that thread. The enabling of TJA by software update was done on NZ vehicles, and I believe that LGA/TJA are officially available in NZ MY17 vehicles. We still need a confirmation for Aust MY17 vehicles. Very happy if I have missed this confirmation.

Just guessing, but NZ had tyre pressure monitoring for my17 Tiguan's , which had hardware. Australia didn't get that, so l wouldn't presume that Au will get TJA if it needs hardware.

My AUS 2017 Tiguan monitors tyre pressure. How do I know it warned me two days ago.

Does it give u individual tire pressures values Or just warn u if flat?
In NZ l have read it gives you each tyres pressure levels.

Can anyone shed light on probable build dates for a 162 tiggy (R-line and DAP) ordered end of May? Expecting delivery early next year but canvasing this thread there seems to be a variety of times from people ordering, to getting introductory email, VW welcome pack, build date etc etc. I have heard nothing as of yet...(literally 'nothing')

Ask your dealer for build week. Like week47 .

Hi, I ordered mine around the same time, and spoke with my dealer last weekend. Problem seems to lie with the MY18 model as there are no confirmed build dates from the factory. I ordered mine through a large dealership here in Sydney and they advised that delivery is still scheduled for Nov/Dec though they can't be certain. They too don't expect any MY18 demos until this time. I'm guessing that this is the same problem around the country. Hopefully they start building for Aus orders around September for the MY18 model, ready for delivery at the end of the year. Though I'm not holding my breath!!

Damn that's bad....I hope you get your car asap to enjoy it.

I ordered mine in December (162tsi, metallic, rline, sunroof, dap) and picking up car next week. Had the option to switch to my18 at no extra cost. I was thinking about if I switched I could wait on a maybe delivery date of October or so however knowing VW is terrible with delivery times it could stretch out longer was a risk. Just to let you know I was advised a delivery date of end of May at order which is now 2 months overdue. Seems delivery times are worse now?

Hang in there!

My Dealer has made the magic call, I pickup the car tomorrow after work

Also my OBDEleven arrived today so I can turn on the traffic reports right away, is there any other mods people would recommend?

There are lots [emoji6] Here is a bit of a list of what I have done:

Stop/Start Disable
Traffic Reports (though this only seems to work intermittently on mine)
Needle Sweep
Adaptive Lane Guidance (still working on full TJA)
Headlight Assist
Road Sign Recognition

You can find a guide for most of these here: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ns-117741.html

Would be great to know what you actually get 'out of the box'... can we dare to hope that VW have signed off on some of these features for Oz?

Just to understand what this means for warranty of the car -
Do we void the warranty because of this? And insurance too?

No warranty is fine. These are factory options that you're just enabling. Though it may confuse the service guys if they haven't seen it before.

Insurance may only be interested if you enable a feature that is going to cause distractions. Something like enabling DVD playback while driving.

Picked up my Tig today, have spent a few hours in it ferrying the kids around to various things, haven't had much time to play/customise yet, but it's been great, so much more refined than my X-Trail, driving is a pleasure. Few things that come to mind.

- Dynamic Lights are brilliant, love watching them start up
- interior lighting is great, like the way the door handles are illuminated.
- Apple car play is great
- Bluetooth a breeze to setup
- been taking it really easy, but you can feel the power under the hood
- ride on the 20" wheels is firmer than I thought it'd be, feel the rough surfaces more than I ever have before
- delivery experience at the dealership was great, really thorough
- it's now filthy as there's been lots of showers this arvo
- kids love it
- automatic boot opener is cool
- boot is bigger than I remember
- DSG has been smooth
- stop/start is ok, not causing me any issues
- ALG is not an option under systems menu
- Lane assist gives a nice reminder when drifting lanes, tested on purpose
- Stereo is much better than I remember, actually quite decent and probably the best I've had in a car

thats about it for now, will add the obligatory pic in the appropriate thread but haven't had time to stop and take pics yet sorry

hang in for those who are still waiting, the first few hours in it have me mightly impressed
