Not gonna lie, when he started to talk about the indicator stalk button, I was kinda hoping for a shout-out for The Brocky Method!  :grin:

Today I found out, quite by accident, that if you gently tap the on/off button on the infotainment screen, it mutes the sound. Tap it again and it unmutes it. Quite neat.

Anyone else noticed it?

Yes. Likewise I found it by accident when pressing things after the unit became laggy one day early in ownership.
Short press mutes mine, a longer press turns it mostly off (standby) and a very long press does a reboot. Best done stationary or you’ll be weaving up the road like you’ve had a skinful of Stella otherwise.

Wettest day it has been today since I've had my GTI, had a go of ESC sport after driving up a closed off dual carriageway. Loads of fun but very dangerous 😂

Two things... Two more snags..

First one, i got caught out again by the stopped clock... Almost late for another appointment.

Secondly for some weird reason it's decided to reset by speed limit warning settings. I had it set to limit+3 and now its back at limit.

This week I'm definitely booking it in for the dealer to look at a list of snags.

That’s stunning.

I’m about to order one and now you’ve added another colour to the mix. Jeeeez…
