Volkswagen Computers and their Glitches
« on: 24 April 2011, 21:45 »
What have you noticed? these are the things I have noticed...

1. Wing mirrors don't fold out. (say once a month/bi monthly)
2. Turn ignition on/all the way to start and get a ping. (its not cold, no open doors, no reason for it). (say once a quarter)
3. Foot well lights go from, my moderatly dim setting to full brightness once on gear change then dim back to what I have them set at. (only one occurance so far).

I have not had any of the above.

My car phone kit seems to periodically forget the 6 saved favourites, other than that it's all gravy  :wink:

2. Mine does this quite regular, never found an issue with the car? No idea what it could be.

I've had no. 1 occasionally and the phone memory always deletes itself.

Also, my RNS510 is now incredibly slow when I'm loading music onto it from an SD card - I've got 13 Gb of music on now so I assume it's just the sheer volume on there that's slowing it down. Still annoying though!

Apart for the occasional door mirror glitch, all is very well with Wolfgang.  :smiley:

Nothing on mine apart from when using a flash memory stick to play audio. Nine times out of ten when I restart the car it plays from the track it was left on, tenth time it starts from the first track on the first folder  :huh:

Ahh yeah usb hard drive always does that really annoying.  The SD card does it like every 4th or 5th car start.

I get 1 and 2 probably about the same amount of times as yourself.

Not sure why the car pings sometimes when I switch the ignition on.
Mine is set to "The rest of the World" to get rid of the KPH displaying I reckoned it might have something to do with that?!?
