Gang, I've had two VW dealers tell me that they are waiting for VW to issue an update for the Infotainment system that will fix most of the issues many of us are experiencing. Both dealers said they expect the update to be "soon" but couldn't be any more specific. Just wondering if anyone out...

The Phaeton I recently purchased had a large spot of dead pixels near the center of the screen. I would imagine this was from some kind of impact to the LCD, though I can't imagine what someone was doing to cause that. Regardless, the unit functioned fine overall, just the screen was damaged...

The screen flickers constantly, is there anything that can be done? No mention of this issue on VWV but many Google hits on it. I'm hoping not to have to replace the head unit (in the glove box) at the dealer since apparently I cannot just put in a replacement (due to coding) or aftermarket due...

After sitting for a long time and having its battery drained my mk7 golf has some sort of flickering on the screen. I have seen other posts and videos where this was diagnosed as damage on the headunit. And while getting a headunit and having it programmed by a VW tech seems easy I don't live in...

Hey everyone, I am reaching out to y’all so that I don’t have to go to the dealer and drop $$$ I don’t have. For the last 3-4 months now, my infotainment system has stopped working. It’s stuck on the VW opening page with the black and white design and globe. Occasionally like once a month it...

Hi all, I recently received my new mk8 in moonstone grey and I totally love it! I have the Harman Kardon sound system package and the audio is pretty good, but since I've had a subwoofer in all my previous cars (Mk6 and Mk4) I miss the bass vibrations too much. To fit my subwoofer, I should...

Volkswagen will push back the launch of the Mk8 Golf until 2020. Reports suggest that the delay is down to technical issues with the Golf’s new infotainment system, while VW maintains that this is simply a practical sales decision. "We think it's better to come early next year with a full...
