Finally Fred Drives a Mk8 GTI

To answer a couple of questions.

The dash lights/display can be changed to any colour you want using a sliding scale on the Touch screen.




No there is an individual mode where you pick the ride style,exhaust sound and other bits...will get pics later.





The exhaust is fake, when you set up an individual driving profile it asks you if you want a sporty sound etc.

Re exhaust, I tried the ECO and Comfort settings and couldn't hear much difference. Is that what you are referring to?

This is where the individual settings are

Thanks Dave - thats similar to the Mk7.5 setup.

What are the options under engine sound?

I assume, Sport, Normal or Eco?

I would also presume though that those sounds are also the values used by the non-user definable profiles.

On my current GTD I have individual mode and engine sound set to "eco" with everything else set to normal.

[Dave1rs]

Yes the sounds are sport,normal and eco.

I tend to keep it in sport as I like the sound to be honest.

[fredgroves]

The sound is fun sometimes.... but after a while I realised that long journeys with less noise (even less than "normal") improves my relaxation and decreases stress. I drive a lot, its rarely for fun.

Things have changed with lockdown though - I am driving much less and its probably going to be a permanent thing now we've worked out some ways of doing business remotely. Therefore I can afford to have a turbo petrol car and not an oil burner.
