Traffic Sign Recognition

[theflash]

The MK6 GTI didn't have cruise whereas the GT it came as standard.
It does seem odd but I'm sure VW know exactly what they are doing to get the most £££ out of people.

Watch this space, a couple of years down the line when sales are slowing down, options such as the basic nav will become standard.

Hopefully people on here will have worked out how to spec this stuff in a cheaper aftermarket way by the so they'll have to offer it as standard.

Apparently, even the new R doesn't come with sat nav as standard

It's weird... on this vid at 2:29 you can see it on a GTI?

It's supposed to be part of the sat nav option according to the GTI price list....

There are two versions.  The sat nav has a database of what limits apply where and should display them on its screen.  You can have this on the GTI no problem.

Then, in a Golf (not GTI as its not available) if you spec the lane assist or whatever the option is with a front camera then you can also spec the speed limit detection which uses that camera to detect the speed limit and display in the MFD overriding the sat nav when they differ on the assumption the nav database is out of date.

I am unsure of:
1) The exact option required (lane assist or whatever) which gives the camera but isn't allowed on the GTI, if I could be bothered to find the brochure its probably in there somewhere.
2) If it is possible to get the sat nav database to display in the MFD without this option (i.e. on a GTI).  I suspect the answer is no.  With VCDS?  Maybe...

I did the activation of the Road sign recognition, but does not appear any sign ...
The MFD always displays this message.



Anyone have any tips ??

Do you have lane assist? As I'm sure you need the camera from that.

[mcmaddy]

Looks like lane assist in the bottom right corner. You also need nav or nav pro for it to work.

[p3asa]

So he does. The computer at work doesn't show pictures! 
You're right, according to this link he needs Nav pro also for it to work

I think the folk at Briskoda have been activating it without

On the Golf you get this anyway if you have Lane Assist (which includes high beam assist).

When you tick Lane Assist though, it also adds the Nav Pro... which has to be because you need that to make it work.
