After having a lift yesterday in a mates 6 month old Audi A3 sportback (2.0tdi S-Line), I was noticing that pretty much everything in his centre DIS screen was being shown in full colour. Most especially, when he had the navigation on, the manoeuvre symbols in the screen were full colour (i.e. at a roundabout, the roundabout and road layout were shown in white, but the direction arrow with the exit were in a nice deep blue.)
On the Mk7 Golf, all these displays seem to be pretty much monochrome expect the door open symbol (picture of the car). I must admit, his looked more upmarket than mine, despite it just being aesthetics. I wonder why when it's highly probably that the 3.5" Colour TFT screen is probably the same part in Audi's as it is in VW's, that VW don't make full use of the colour palette in the DIS. Is this another example of distinguishing between the lowly VW brand and the high end Audi brand (I thought shared by a few but not me).
A minor point I know.
Oh, and to be honest, whilst I love the MMI and pop up screen of the Audi, the fit and finish was no better than a VW, and overall, still much prefer my VW.

Is a red door really the only thing in colour? This was originally an option when ordered my car and was £135 I think!!!!! Expensive door picture!
-
Yeah I thought it was a full colour display that was actually standard, not £135 as indicated by the VW configuration website. Can anyone confirm?

It is the £135 colour display that is standard mate.
The options are different colours as well the same as in the menu on the head unit but it's not as good as the Audi one.

For a colour display, its rubbish! Only thing that's in colour is the doors when they're open (red); everything else is white, even when using the sat nav. If I'd of paid £135 for that I wouldn't have been best pleased I have to say.

Yeah that's what I mean. As matchboy said, you would not be pleased if you paid £135 for it.

The background on it matches the dash trim what more do you want?? :evil:

can't understand VW sometimes. I retro fitted colour clocks to my tiguan and they were full colour, all sat nav display and route in colour. seems a backwards step imo

It's definitely a bit disappointing to say the least. As Mark says there is no way I would have paid £135 just to see a couple of red doors

Totally. I even thought they'd f7cked up when I first got it and given me a black & white screen such is the lack of colour!

I guess this is why the only picture they ever show of the MFD color screen is the car with the red door.
Very poor VW :angry:
-
There's a flash of colour too when you scroll through the MFD "windows", ie. flicking from Audio - Phone - Nav, etc...
-
I've also noticed when using the volume controls on the steering wheel, the volume line in the MFD is red over white. Hardly worth £135 though :rolleyes:

maybe best to wait and see what comes on the R and see if they are any different.
