WOW! Why isn't THAT enabled by default. *sigh*

It's in the freakin software already! And the hardware can do it! TURN IT THE FRIG ON VW!

I already know I won't be able to afford it.

Good rant, I'll give you nine out of ten for it. Strangely enough it opens and closes via the button in my Tiguan so why not every car.

So my friends Kodiaq - that opens and closes using the internal button.
Just checked my wife's Superb Wagon, and that only opens with the internal button - you have to get out and go to the back of car and press the button there to close it. But you can close it automatically from the keyfob.

My car is the exact same as the Superb - internal button opens only, but you can close it with the fob or by using the button at the back.

I've got a Hex Net on order from Ross Tech - it should arrive soon. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to enable it. I know the car can do it - it just needs to know it can.

All track Wolfsburg opens and closes from the switch inside. Just sounds like a bunch of inconsistent coding across different development teams to me.

My biggest grip with VW!

All the hardware is the same. All the software is the same. All the configs are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!

And you answer with "which one". Dealers are, for the most part, stupid.

Like they told me while swearing on a stack of bibles that VW would never have a car in Oz with TJA activated! Yeah, right and I am expected to believe that.

Same with drl front light intensity along with Scandinavian rear drl

Ohhh....I was looking at this next. How bright are the rear DRL's? Are they bright (like when the parkers are on normally), or is it more subtle like (you may have seen) how it is on the Audi Q7's?

Also as a side note... I've seen on some Audi forum how it was possible to get Google Maps come up on the virtual dash. I need to look into this more as I'm not 100% sure if that was a specific Audi connect thing (the guy said he did it via his phone wifi), or if it'll work with Android Auto.

Yep! Just found it on briskoda and did the mod - it basically just turns the rear parkers on in normal AUTO mode. LOL. It looks good though.

When you increased your DRL brightness - is that for when the headlights are on? Or for when they're off?

I've also just done the "Enable DRL on/off" option via the entertainment unit, and also changed the throttle response (the mod where you say your car is an Audi instead of a VW - haha). Will go for a drive shortly to see if I can feel the difference.

Will let you know how I go about the google maps mod. There was a fair bit to it, so I'm working my way up to it.
