Ive read in a few reviews that the starter button is a standard feature on the gti.
But when looking at the configurator, it seems to be part of keyless entry.
Anybody know for sure as the configurator is pants.
-
It's definitely just part of the keyless entry system
-
starter button only if you order keyless entry.
-
It's definitely part of the keyless entry and is not standard

It's not standard mate and it's part of the keyless entry pack, some of the reviewers just take whatever spec they're given to test as standard, piss poor research really. ::)

Ah well.
Didnt order it so never mind.
Completely forgot to look when I was at the dealership.

Probably not but after changing the colour from pure white to carbon grey and then adding chassis control im starting to incur the wrath of a very irate girlfriend :(
Dont really need keyless personally.

I used to think this and then I watched the video on the keyless system from the Canadian dealer that someone posted on here. 350 quid later... :grin:

I accept absolutely no responsibility for any additional cash spent after watching how clever the keyless system is!

It is one cheesy video :grin: :grin:

I had keyless on my renaultsport clio.
obviously not as clever as this tech but I got the jist of it.
Love the bespoke key for the gti so dont mind fumbling around my pocket for that instead.

As a question of relative "need", I put my entire car into question! :grin: If you want it, go for it, if not, use the awesome GTI key provided that will suffer wear and tear and thus devalue the car massively (just kidding of course!)

Very, very good point!
Do I need ACC? Do I need the performance pack?
Do I even need a golf gti??
I have chosen these things to satisfy myself not because I need something!
I think you have just helped me empty my wallet further...

Happy to be of service! :grin: But, it's true, anybody buying a GTI is doing so because they want one, not because they need one. There are plenty of far cheaper cars that get you from A to B, but we picked the GTI for very specific reasons. I overstretched my budget a bit, but I know how much enjoyment it will bring me so worth every penny!
Besides, blipping keys to open cars and putting keys into ignitions is so last year! :wink:
-
Oh, because i saw it on all the video's i thought it was standard. Nevermind roll on September delivery - BW33
-
Soooo.....contacted me dealer about adding keyless and was told that unfortunately "no further changes can be made as the car is locked down for production."
Oh well ........

The car I test drove yesterday had keyless entry. I have to say it is really cool. Something about pressing that button felt really nice ;)
Also, really funny thing, dealer told me that most the staff kept forgetting it had keyless and kept looking for the hole lol and have scratched the hell out the area where the ignition hole normally is.

The one is sat in the other day had the starter button - I actually wished I'd specced it now as it was very cool.

I can still add it. Just trying to limit my cost though. The keyless entry key fob didn't have the GTI branding on it though. Am I right in assuming the GTI branding is only with the traditional jackknife keys?

Strange, i'm pretty sure the keyless key still has the flip out blade just in case the battery fails so you can still use the keyhole in the door?? ???

I think I could be mistaken. Maybe I only saw the front of it and didn't see the 'GTI' on the back.
