It is unbelievable that the UK is about the only market in Europe that doesn't get car-net, premium phone and a whole host of other options. Particularly when the GTD/GTI were being advertised in May on vw.com as the first cars to offer car-net in the UK. The RSAP connection in my Scirocco rarely dropped below full signal, the advanced phone prep in my Golf rarely gets to 3 bars and so far has never reached full signal.

Well folks put some presure on your VW dealers and tell them that UK also wants some "candys" from VW for your Golf VII!  Everything is possible.

question that needs asking is why can Audi do it but vw can't. also why does the manual say you can use a mobile as a WiFi hotspot but no options are available on the head unit. pi44 poor considering the car costs upwards of 27/28k

It's all marketing, just like why we can't spec alcantara seats

well the head of UK marketing needs taking in a field and dragging round by his arms by a v10 toureg - 4uckwit!

don't know why they can't just leave all options available to order and let the customer choose what they want.

Considering Audi and VW share a lot of components it would be really easy for them.
I must admit its actually a decent feature and the wifi in the car is excellent for the kids.
