Overall Pros and Cons

[kacak]

Does anyone know if it possible to change the voice in the navigation program. For me she definitely is a con...

If I recall correctly, in the menu settings, you could choose either a male or female voice.

Ive trawled through all the menus, I must be missing it somehow?

Ok, this is what I believe based on test drive, research and other people's comments.
There IS Active lane assist (or steering assist) to keep you in lane when going 70km or faster.

Under that speed it does not keep you in lane. So I guess traffic jam assist is only braking/accelerating but no steering/lane keep. So it's really just acc.

I have been driving my car for a few weeks now and this is what I have learned...

TJA requires active lane assist and Australian cars do not have this at any speed. The lane assist activated in Oz cars is not designated active, the active system calculates and assesses where the car sits in the lane, the type of lane system fitted to Oz cars allows the car to move across the lane until it is nearly on the line and then attempts to steer the car parallel to the line. The active system reads both lines and holds the car equidistant between them not allowing the car to wander. ALA is a proactive system and LA is a reactive system might be the best way to term the differences. TJA actively steers the car as well as starts/stops the car and maintains the distance set from the car in front. It requires no driver input at all where ACC requires a reset command or throttle movement after 3 seconds stationary time and does not steer the car at all. TJA is only active below 37KPH and the system fitted to Oz cars only works above that speed. I regard the system fitted to the OZ Tiguan as more of a gimmick than anything else.

Is there additional hardware required to have RAJ active or do we only need a firmware update?

I hate predictive text. @#$%€¥_$-@÷5//

TAJ should be TJA. [emoji33]

As far as us owners know and guess new hardware is required but one really knows what is fitted to the OZ cars. It could be a software activation issue but there is so little written about the system everyone is guessing. The cars that do have it fitted in Oz are the Skoda Superb, Some Audis and the Passat. My betting is that the cameras fitted to the Tiguan are the wrong type needed to make it work but I would love to be proven wrong. I came across a story somewhere on the net where an owner had bought a new camera and a windscreen plus whatever else was needed to enable it on his Audi, I have no link but it might be found with a Google search.

I'm sure we would love it to be a software update only.

We waited patiently for a long time for our 162 to arrive and after 2000kms we are pleased with our choice.
Like the leather seats with lots of settings as well as remembering how big I am compared to my wife. Delighted with the headlights, after suffering inferior VW lights for 4 previous cars. Really like the refinement when cruising and overall quality of the car.

Disappointed with the horrible sound of the engine. It is awful. Hard to believe it's identical to the GTI. It goes ok, but I would like to see a proper road tester get to 100kmh in 6.5 seconds. The lane guidance...... well I turned it off because it was unable to define the lines correctly, therefore tugging at the wheel when it was not supposed to. I find the steering to be slightly vague on centre, which makes it less relaxing to hold a straight line on the freeway. Maybe that's just me, but I do like a car to feel stable on centre.
Despite being a little critical, I am still a happy customer and enjoy the car.

you are about 500km ahead of us, just clicked ove 1,500. Like you have turned off the lane guidance and turned down all the beepers etc. seriously the car was having its own panic attacks. I think we overestimated just how GTI was going to be. The engine is the same but.....
ihad the same experience when test driving a Passat R line- same motor as the Golf R but a completely different driving result. It is not a 'sporting' SUV just a slightly quicker one. Overall very happy with ours with no major short comings.

I had a car in front of me driving up the highway, I followed, when it suddenly slammed the brakes. It was fascinating to see that the emergency brakes warning already lighted up a fraction of a second before I had touched the brakes...

Added "Passenger seat folds flat for more load space if required." as a Pro. Pretty cool feature, I can imagine doing this when loading in a Christmas tree!

Or the MIL in the back seat. [emoji12]
