Golf mk8 / Re: VW Software update notification email
« Last post by DrG_GTi on 16 February 2026, 15:01 »Thanks all. Heads up it's a bit of a PITA this one - the update logs you out, resets your sound equaliser personalisation, removes favourited phone contacts, resets your custom background lighting options/colours, and finally it removes any personalisation's you may have done to the vehicle settings (such as enabling dynamic cornering lights, etc)

Golf mk7 / Re: Wireless Android Auto adaptors?
« Last post by jdoubleu on 16 February 2026, 08:49 »I am currently using an Ottocast mini, but I have an AA wireless 2+ on order. The Ottocast was absolutely fine and I suspect some of the issues I see are actually to do with the car (though in my case, this is actually in an Audi A4).
I originally wanted the AA wireless 2+ as that seems to be the go-to for this purpose, it just wasn't generally available when I was looking. I can try to report back in a week or so once I've got it.

Golf mk8 / Rear wiper - am I going mad..?
« Last post by CarbonGTD on 15 February 2026, 14:53 »I only noticed yesterday - the rear wiper on my 8.5 GTI 265 doesn't sweep a full 180 deg - it only sweeps to maybe 170 deg? Now I have had many Golfs before and I have never noticed on any of them the rear wiper to not sweep the full 180 deg - but maybe I just never noticed before?? Anyone out there with a Mk 8.5 GTI that can confirm whether yours is the same??
