Tiguan Factory Options Thread (or what options can I install after purchasing)

[hippyhippy]

my thinking is that since its only a 300 dollar option, then im sure its just a button they install and maybe a wiring harness. However if someone could comfirm that its definitely more than just a button that would be great. Its like if u want to install foglights, you just need the actual foglight unit and maybe the switch for it because all the wiring is already in place.

It isn't just a wiring harness and button.
The Bi Xenon's are just a wiring harness extra and it costs 2k.
The cost is not part of the complexity.

See the link i provided earlier

off-road brings a number of things into play.

It modifies the throttle response so you're less likely to spin a wheel.
It modifies the ABS to allow some locking up in gravel (in soft going it does pay to have the ESP OFF as well).
It modifies the electronic diff lock (yes I know it's not a REAL diff lock) and locks you into 50/50 torque split.
It brings in the hill decent control and the hill takeoff controls (ensures you don't run back) over a preset angle.

There's other bits and pieces as well but it is a major difference BUT as I say you're limited by your tyres AND it cuts out at 20± kph so it's designed for slow slippery work not hotdogging in the gravel.

All the retrofit fogs I've seen done on the various forums around the world have had to wire everything themselves, the wiring is not in place. It certainly wasn't on mine BUT mine is a 2008 so that could have changed.

at it turns out .. the tig i got has most options except for xenons (which would have been real nice) and mdi and ipod cable.

If i get the MDI cable and want to retrofit it, do i need to change something in the VCDS to get it to work after installing it?

[Umai Naa!!]

MDI is a unit + Ipod-specific cable.

You'll need to code Media Player 2E into Diagnostic Databus 19.

[hippyhippy]

thanks, has anyone retrofitted the mdi unit to their tig in the centre console area or anywhere else besides the glovebox?

i think the glovebox is a rather stupid place to put it.

[Transporter]

Well, maybe not? Some people have a spare ipod and leave it in there.

[hippyhippy]

well if u have an stand alone ipod .. glovebox is a pretty good place for it, but if u have an iphone and u have to always take it out, its not the best.

[Transporter]

Yes, that's truth. Alternatively you can stream the music via BT.

OMG ,I know this thread is old, but I just read your comment re the "spare" iPod, and flock me, I got one of those, so it goes in tomorrow!

Thank you!

According to redbook.com.au, you probably have
Dynaudio Premium Sound System+GPS (10 speakers, Premium Sound System ) $4800
Leather with Electric Drivers Seat $4000 package
Fog lights $400
Camera - Rear Vision $700
Park Assist $1400

One or two of these packages may have been combined, but it sounds like you got a nice specced-out (ex)-demo model.

I've provided the redbook link below:

It might not be quite the MY variant you have, but it should be close.

Nice one!
