The gas strut was deleted as a pedestrian collision safety measure. Not sure how it works precisely, but if you do injure a pedestrian and the car is found to have a gas strut fitted you could be liable for any injuries and your insurance could be void due to you having overridden a safety measure, and not having informed your insurers of the (illegal?) modification. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Have a Cupra Terramar which looks like the same screen to the Golfs, but with a Cupra O/S, and there is a pull down from top of the screen where you have lane assist, speed warning and attention tracker (camera follows your eyes) which you have option to cancel as a pre-flight activity.

Because its a pull down this allows for there to be a row of permanent shortcuts also. Think Cupra have done really good job on the O/S as no need to go into any menus for anything its all on front screen and the pull down option is really good addition to expand the shortcuts options.

Not ever sat in a MK8.5 Golf, so does that not have the pull down option also?

Another nice touch is that the buttons for seat heating and rear window heating etc are made to look like buttons, so you pick them out more readily.

Yes, the 8 and 8.5 golf have the same menu that pulls down from the top of the screen.

I did mine yesterday.... much fear!

Seemed to go ok though but really, really glad I'd heard on here about that it would require logging back into VW and it was going to reset all of my stuff.... armed with that I made a load of photos of how my stuff was setup so I could easily put most of it back together.

I don't really understand why it all got reset... there has to be more to this update than they were explaining or why did it change all of my lighting colours and the speedo display mode (it came back with it in standard golf display - not the GTI single rev counter dial, which I am sure was actually the factory default from new). Why did a SOS/celluar unit update do this? Same as messing with my HK equaliser settings...

Hi all

Right, I’ve searched but been unable to find the answer. Within the Individual Mode there are two options I’m struggling to understand. Driving Dynamics and Drive. Can anyone confirm what changes between Eco/Comfort/Sport for these two settings please? I don’t have DCC.

Thanks.
