As it says , show me your dash . I’ve only had my clubsport 6 days and only messed about with the setting on the steering wheel and its just a little boring
-
Dont really know what you mean. All the pics of a dash would look the same?
-
The digital displays are configurable. Lots of options.
I think this is what's being asked.
-
Looks a bit pinky Orange in the photo but is the red option

Red for me too in all drive modes. Gti dial view too. I've got fuel economy on the left and phone on the right.

I run the standard LED setup of white in Comfort and red in Sport, although I very rarely come out of Sport, so it's red most of the time. It does draw smiles and looks cool when there are passengers in and it goes from from white to red and I drop the right foot. :evil:
Legend has it that there's a drive mode that makes things go blue in this setting... *shrugs* :whistle:
-
I like a bit more tradition with rev and speed dials!
Still red though!

what's the upper temperature indication? Is it only for dsg models?

How do you do the set-up to change colour when changing drivung modes? Haven't been able to figure this out.

It's done in the 'Ambient Light > Mood' section of the main menu.

Hi Brocky,
I would love to change the dash colour with the different modes but I couldn't even find the ambient light function.
Can you give us a step by step pathway please?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, guys. Having just checked, I gave the wrong name for the menu.
Hit the main menu, go to 'Background' and you will have the preset colours - Infinity, Euphoria etc. Scroll across and there's an 'Automatic' option. That's the one you are after.

I tried the automatic option as detailed by Brocky but it seemed to set the 'comfort' option as a red display so there was no change when you moved it into 'Sport'.
I'm not keen on red as my default colour so I chose this blue (with a purple hint) from the individual settings.
May have another play with the colours in a few months to keep it fresh.
I do change the right hand side to display navigation when I'm using it to replace audio, but otherwise this is my setting.

Yes, that's correct, Billsan. The AID is blue in Eco and red in both Comfort & Sport. What changes, however, is the LED accents across the dash and the doors. Blue for Eco, white for Comfort and red when you switch to Sport. I think that there's something very cool about those being white and with a quick switch into Sport, everything goes red and the car wakes up for play-time. It'd be really nice to be able to have a GTI button on the wheel to do that, like the R has, but it's not such a big deal to hit the Mode button.
You have your AID the same as mine, setup-wise, except I use Android Auto for nav and so have the temps on the right dial instead.

Question for you, I show the music like you have, were you plugged in via a cable for this? I only get radio station logos not album art when I use wireless car play
-
Hi Foxy, I don't use a cable at all now, I only used one first time to set up Android Auto and since then it have always worked wirelessly. I play my music through Spotify (via Android Auto) so could that be the difference.
BTW - Radiohead's Exit Music isn't just played when I'm getting out of my Clubby. :wink:

Cheers Bil that could be why it may be an Apple thing! It would be quite impressive though if exit music played everytime you switched off the car!!!

So, looking through the post, it seems maybe it is possible to change the driver's display from red to another colour - even in 'Sport Mode'? Please confirm this and how to do it, especially if you've actually achieved it yourself personally. Many thanks
-
Yes in the colour setup there is an option to enable or disable the mode colour changes.
I'm currently rolling with blue all the time
-
That's brilliant! Thanks so much. That overcomes one of my partner's concerns about us ordering a new MK8 GTI in January 2022. Just need to convince her that with DCC adaptive damper system, and with the winter comfort pack, she'll be able to drive around town in comfort with heated seats, and with a smooth ride over our bad roads in Dorset. Thanks again.
-
Set dcc to comfort plus and ride over the bumps like you are in a moon buggy.
Seriously you'd never imagine it's a car capable of a pretty rapid turn of speed.
Just be aware that ordering in January you won't see it properly until January 2023. I wish I was joking.
-
Great, thanks. Sets my mind at rest.
-
Delivery times seem a big problem from what you say. I’ll discuss with local dealer next week. Thanks
-
The long lead times are pretty much universal across all marques at the moment though...

40+ weeks on anything Golf

Wow, that’s really disappointing - and a deal breaker most likely. Sadly, I may need to start looking at my second choice, an Alfa Giulia on lease. Seems there are plenty new in stock, but I would need to get the right leasing deal. Thanks.

Apologies to all. Didn’t intend to highjack this thread. I should have started a new thread when I realised I was getting off the topic of ‘show me your dash’!! Apologies again.
