These head units sound like a bag a sh!t to be honest. Is this a common issue with these units and more with the nav pro?

To be honest, I love the car despite all the problems I originally encountered( 2013 GTD ) but in future, I'll never add extras to a car again...............
and 2 and half years in, I'm still in negative equity of about £1500 !
though this was originally going to be kept for 5-6 years, but I changed jobs, so it will end up being changed soon.
And with the GTD now available on Mobility, I can see the value going down even further !

Negative equity in a car, what's all that about?

Same here - and for the same reason. If i had not added 3k of extras I guess my car would be worth around 500 quid less. As it is I have almost 20k to settle the finance instead of nearly 17k :-(

Some people really go over top with options.
I've heard ' I had to have it cos I hate blank buttons on a car' more than once recently :laugh:

Not many physical blank buttons on a GTI/GTD/R I'd have thought.

Most of the extras are activated in menus off of the touch screen, nothing to be "blank" :D

In fact, I can't think of any "blank buttons"

There were a few in the Mk6 that folk were getting extras so the buttons wouldn't be blank.
The only ones I can think of in the Mk7 were the heated seats but now they are standard!

Not sure how folk go over the top with their options as its their choice / money. Its a bit like telling someone they shouldn't have got their car in a certain colour!!

It was the heated seat button I was thinking of.
As regards to options, get what you want but don't moan when you've lost money when you come to sell😀

Parking Pack and DCC if not optioned would leave two blank buttons I think. Not exactly a bank of blank buttons is it.
