Hi all,
I ordered a GTI PP a few weeks ago and was told my estimated build date was week 22.
I did read somewhere that the 2015 update to the car was taking place around that build week. (I'm not sure what the update is apart from something to do with carplay. Not sure if there was anything else or weather this was just a rumour).
Anyway on the tracker it says "new Golf GTI Performance" and i can't remember seeing the "new" bit there before.
Maybe I haven't noticed it before but wasn't sure if anyone had any info.
Thanks
Ben

Yes, I've heard / read from a few sources that the standard radio / Nav screen is getting upgraded to 6.5" (it's currently 5.8") and possibly CarPlay compatible.
-
Very likely - I believe the new unit is already in the updated Polo and the new Passat

Mine also says "new golf..." on the tracker (golf R est build week 28). I wouldn't read too much into that, they probably all say it. Be nice to get a bigger screen and CarPlay though :whistle:
-
I ordered my GTi yesterday and this would be an awesome bonus
-
Any pictures around of the new unit?
-
BW22 is when the details of the model year changes (MY) are out. These are implemented from BW45 I believe
-
Mine is also showing as New Golf GTD the new part wasn't there yesterday.
-
I would have so preferred 6.5" to 5.8" as they would both have the same financial pain. Even better would have been 8" one but this would be really painful on the bank balance. Yeah, size does matter! :laugh:

My first MK7 built last year bw3 said New Golf and so did my new Golf R built Bw2 this year. However, your build week may well include any model year changes. Ultimately you will get what you get and you will love it...Enjoy it :smiley:

Just bumping this up to see if anyone has any new i goin this radio/CarPlay upgrade?
-
Something is happening as if you go onto the car configurator they have introduced parking and tech packs and a cut price. Maybe getting ready for the updates?

Mine was moved to estimated BW19 but if i can add the tech pack on id be bloody happy with that. Absolute bargain. Just waiting for a call back from the dealer before the end of the day.
-
Did they call you back Ben?
-

Nope! well they tried to call and i missed them and called them back this morning and the guy I'm dealing with had 5 handovers today and never got back to me. I will pester them tomorrow.
you had any more news?
-
Not a peep. Getting annoying now and only 4 weeks in. This is my 4th brand new car and i have only had to wait 4 weeks at most before.
Only 10 more weeks to go though. :rolleyes:

its bonkers when you hear you can get a bmw in 6 weeks max but my car is between 15-18 weeks most likely. I was really excited when i heard by estimated build week moved to BW19 until i heard all this about the upgrade on BW22 and tech pack etc. :(
-
Wont be happy if the DNS is made standard and i miss out by 3 weeks

Agreed, let me know when you here and i will once iv heard. Im tempted to drive down there early tomorrow so i can get an answer straight away.

Drove down to my dealer earlier and to be fair to him the whole place is absolutely manic there. He told me they have been trying to add the tech pack on and would let me know today.
Still nothing concrete but did confirm the price at £1240

Did you order from Mann Eg? (VW Exeter)
What were they like for discounts?

£1240 for a GTI/GTD and £1840 for an R. Bloody cheek. :rolleyes:

It's a mistake by VW, I'm sure of it. The GTI/D will soon be at £1840.
I can't see VW putting DNS poverty in the GTI/D as standard this early in the model cycle when there's still a stupidly long waiting list for UK orders.
-
Just popped down to my dealer and the Tech Pack was added to my GTI order at £1240. The guy said the dealers only had the bulletin yesterday about it. It was estimated for a week 19 build so will have to wait until Tuesday to see if that has changed.

Fingers crossed for you mate, hope it all goes through ok :smiley:
...before they rectify their mistake :whistle:

Yeh I did, they were good. Gavin did me a bloody good deal but iv known him for a while. Its always manic in there.

I guess knowing the sales guy is always going to help - he's never going to forget you! :grin:

I went to school with his Mrs and i used to be his golf coach. I walked into the dealership and didn't realise he worked there.
i went in trying to figure out how long it would take me to save up to get the payments to where i needed them and walked out ordering one. Typical. My girlfriend was happy :huh: although i think we may get rid of her mini and get her a polo gti soon. That looks like a good piece of kit.
-
Small world eh? :laugh:
It's funny how many people wander into dealerships just looking for a bit of advice and end up ordering (and yet many more can walk in knowing exactly what they want and end up walking out empty handed!)
Good shout with the Polo GTI as you can get huge discounts off them right now.
And fingers crossed for the nav pack staying at £1240, it's well worth it at that price. :smiley:

I always knew i was going to get one just didn't expect the figures to stack up straight away.
Yeh Hannah likes it so fingers crossed we can take one out in the next month or 2 and get one ordered for September.
Im popping down to the dealer tomorrow to pick up the new updated order with the Tech pack on and he's going to chase up my build week today and let me know too.
-
Are they getting a demo in at Mann Eg?
Hopefully you won't have a silly long wait for yours.
Mine was ordered April 2013 and arrived late October! What makes it worse is when you see people with leases or orders through the business dept getting theirs much quicker.

I was told they may get a couple demo's over the next month or 2 so fingers crossed.
My estimated moved to BW19 before i added the tech pack so fingers crossed it hasn't moved. I only ordered the car 5 weeks ago and it feels like 5 months. Hopefully i should get it in June.
-
what didn't help was as i drove into the dealership in saturday some lucky &%$%& was picking up there brand new pure white GTI which I had to walk past and a family who live 3 doors up from me has exactly the same car as i have ordered. Talk about a tease!!!

There aren't many PW GTI owners about locally and two of them (three when you get yours) are on this forum already!
