Does anybody have there winter pack with rear outer heated seats? Just wondering how the heated seat part works? There is a panel in the rear for the climate control but nothing for the seats. Do they just get warm if you turn the climate heating up?
-
I think if you spec this option instead of there being just two buttons on this panel, they are halved in size and there is instead 4, two climate and two seats.

It will look like this and have the heated seat button, yes a physical button.

ah great, thanks for the photo. So mine hasn't got those buttons so I didn't get the full winter pack I ordered then, only the front half.
-
This is not my vehicle the picture was just for purposes of the question but I knew I'd seen it somewhere.
I have the winter pack 1 option so mine doesn't have these, I've got kids seats in the back so never needed them but in your case if you've ordered them then you'd best get onto the dealer for a refund or maybe they can add it. Good luck.

Confirmed, the factory didn't fit it even though it was on the order form. :whistle:
-
The PDI check should have picked this up?
Anyway car looks great and I'm sure this issue isn't the end of the world and you can still enjoy the car whilst you decide what to do about the rear seating issue.
Enjoy.

Just for clarity, I have the heated outer rear seats, all four buttons (heating and seats) are in the position of those in your picture, but they are touch sensitive buttons just like the headlights, volume etc.

Hmmm, thanks for clarification, they missed it off my order clearly. All I have is a touch panel with heating controls which has confused me. I though it was only the extended winter pack that came with 3 zone climate control?
The extended pack on the VW site has `Air Care Climatronic` (3-zone) with rear air conditioning control panel' I have this but no heated seats?

This is what I have. I assume this is the standard panel? I thought 3 zones was only the extended pack?
-
Three zone AFAIK is standard on UK performance golfs...
I've got it on mine... but I have got like you Winter Pack 1

ahhh ok thank you, anyway getting a refund for the missing option. Luckily it's not something I was bothered about, could of been much worse.

WelshGolf your situation does not surprise me the factory did not fit the rear view camera on my Edition 45, luckily that could and was fitted by the dealer post PDi. I have heard stories recently of cars being supplied with one key due to continuing supply shortages. I love that moonstone grey as well good choice 👍 for your car.

I was under the impression that all uk spec GTI’s had 3 zone climate, although the ones I’ve seen have flat bars as the hot and cold colours (I’ve no idea if they are oldskool or touch buttons though),, both yours and mine have upturned touch sensative red and blue bars, maybe it’s a slight change on later models, or perhaps yours is an anomaly?! But it does look like the extended winter pack panel but with the seat icons missing! Here’s some pics of the panel in mine.

Yeah, mine arrived in June with only one key, I had to wait another month before I could set up the primary user etc. Also, I didn't get an engine cover, but that is due to the recall I suspect.

Really shouldn't happen, but i'm so glad to have a car in my possession that i've let it slide and taken the refund.
