Traffic Jam Assist

[Hugo_nz]

Hello from New Zealand. We took delivery of two Tiguans on June 30th, both with ACC, neither have TJA activated. We have all the other boxes ticked (lane guidance, etc). The sales material for NZ makes mention of ACC on the Tiguan and I queried this with VW NZ. Their feedback was that it should in fact be active and they are looking into why it isn't and how to go about activating it. Will keep you posted.

Please do, I am having a fairly protracted discussion with VWA regarding this currently.

Will do. VW NZ has resolved to get back to me this coming week. The GM of VW NZ is also in the loop.

Did you get any updates from VWA? And any idea when they will finalize specs for MY18 Tiguan? Shouldn't they be releasing specs when production has already started and orders for MY 18 are being taken?

I have no information on the 2018 cars only what I wrote and has been posted here. Further corrospondence with VWA has not proved fruitful regarding the earlier cars which is all I am concerned with at this time though if TJA is enabled in the 2018 cars as has been posted here then it makes the argument advanced by VWA invalid. I doubt at this time that they can be moved as it is a bit like talking to a brick wall.

Update: VW NZ has come back to me and admitted that TJA was meant to have been enabled at the factory. My Tig is getting a software update on Wednesday and SO's on Thursday. I'll report back again once the update has been done.

That's good news Hugo_nz, would be good if you had an odbeleven to do a scan before and after the software update to see what is changed to enable it. I think NZ_GolfR has one.

Yes, would be interested to see what the differences are before and after, if you want me to do a scan then let me know. By the way, which dealer is doing the software upgrade? Would be keen to get mine done as well.

Hugo: hopefully your OBD11 device will arrive in time (sounds like a tight delivery time tho). When you get it and after you do your first scan - do this:



After you select the envelope symbol, you will be presented with the native email App(s) on your tablet/mobile phone. If you send yourself a email copy, you will have a digital version of the report that you can easily share on forums like this one!

PS: You might want to consider removing the VIN if you do post-up a copy - gives greater anonymity and leaving the VIN doesn't add any value to the purpose for posting the scan

Not a chance it will arrive in time since I've been unable to order owing to the website payment problem.

Cheers mate. I'm in Auckland. If you happen to be around the city centre before Wednesday then you can scan my Tig.

Hi guys!
Random question.. if MY18 Tiguan are fitted with hardware platform that can execute traffic jam assist via software update, will it be the same for the golf range? Emailed VWA regarding this but haven't got a response, been a week now.

Don't hold your breath if my experience is anything to go by. They do not want to talk about it at all and have stopped responding to emails when backed into a corner which they have no answers for. The first question you need answered is do Golf's in other markets have TJA activated. It may be that the golf does not have the hardware to support it at all.

Yeah they are offered in the euro region. I hope that the front and lane assist offered here would be a workable platform if VWA decide to introduce TJA down the track.
