Hi all,

I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on with my display unit in my Alltrack but the offroad display doesn’t exist on my car. I have a 2018 Alltrack SE. Brand new with less than 4K mi on it.

Is this offroad telemetry display only available on the SEL trim ?

Is there a way to get it on other trim levels?!

Here’s the system version I have on my car currently.

Device part number - 3Q0035844B
Hardware - 722
Software - 0867
Media Codec - 1.2.0

Am I missing something?!

My 2017 SE is also missing this info. I really would have liked to have that info when I drove to Pikes Peak. I plan to ask the dealer about it at the first service.

It's not missing. It's only available on the SEL.

You can activate it with odb11 or vdcs, I added it to my R because I wanted a screen that showed oil and water temp at the same time. There could however be some prerequisite that might prevent this from working on your car, such as requiring factory GPS.

That’s a shame. You’d think they’d include that across all 4Motion models.

Can anyone confirm the vag com code to adjust this in the SE models?

I’m finding some mixed results across the web.

If you wanted it, why did you buy the model without it? :screwy:

Well that's just stupid, but it does sound like something VW would do. I do have OBD11, hopefully someone can figure out how to code it to work with the SE.

So, they should put all the features on all the models?

Is it only standard in cars with Nav?

I'm pretty sure it requires Nav to work, one of the dials show altitude which would require GPS.

I wonder if this is another lost feature on the '18s. I test drove two different 2017 S's and an SE that had it. I know on the pre facelift cars the satellite radio antenna doubled as GPS for US market cars.

Interested in how to enable this in VCDS in my GSW 4motion.

Makes sense, unfortunately.... I would still like to have all the other features on that screen.

Works just fine on my '18 GSW (not AT), but as others have said, you must have navigation for it to work. I used OBD11 to enable it.

This feature was only available in '17 on the SEL. The S and SE do not have Nav. Not sure what you saw, but no S or SE should have had it from the factory.

It has always seemed silly to me that the ALLTRACK, specifically intended for (pretend) offroad use, doesn't come with the Offroad Monitor on every trim level, even if the elevation field doesn't populate.

It does great offroad (no pretend)... but it's a car and I think you are talking about rock crawlin' and stuff when you say offroad, but never really clarified anything.

Confirmed, you need a NAV unit for the features.

can you imagine the whining and outrage on here if VW had done that?

Thanks. Looking forward to trying this out.

Number of times the information would be useful have been around zero it feels kinda like a gimmick feature hasn't me wanting for the NAV system. A few have reported less than stellar with reliabilty issues and freezing of the Nav systems.

Heck its only money i'm sure you could find an MBI 2 system and get that feature.

Also what about coding the "Performance monitors" of the R into the Alltrack, boost would be more enjoyable to watch than oil temp.
