Just a thought, it seems that a few of the guys are able to find out and upload build week notices etc regarding changes to car spec's etc.
May I suggest a sticky thread as a central archive for these? Would be good place to find out changes to car spec etc.
Or (sorry of this is a daft question!) is there already a internet site you can go to view these? (Guessing it's an email to dealers).

That video was posted on September 8th - so it must be on V2660.  Its a beta version, and the official version if it is due out for Week 45 and is V1200.
There is a thread about it on VWnavi, and someone has it - but I don't think this could be a video of it as its only been out for a couple of days.
Hopefully it will be uploaded soon  :smiley:

Yeah looks good but I think it would drive you mad after a bit.
My dad has this on his focus and with road noise etc, it is always asking you to repeat yourself. 10 minutes to carry out a task that only takes 2 seconds by hand.

When I was in the USA my hostess had this on her car.  Every time she said "dial [whoever]" she added "please".  Every time, it screwed up because it thought "please" was part of the identification.  Even I figured it out the third time she did it.

It was her car.
