Postcode settings in sat nav
« on: 15 September 2016, 17:20 »
Picked up my new car on the 1st of september, my first vw so still finding my feet regarding the controls and features etc. When i go to put a new destination in the nav there is no settings for postcodes, after checking the manual it shows a setting for postcodes which isn't showing on my touchscreen, in the manual it shows 'location' but on my screen is just 'town/city' which won't allow a postcode entry. My question is, is it just the discover pro nav with a postcode setting, or have i been given an inferior disc or am i just missing something?
Thanks in advance

It's definitely in there. Sorry I can't help as to where as I couldn't find it either. My OH sorts that sort of thing for me :smiley:

I have Pro Nav but assume it's the same?
 
Tap to enter a new destination, the on next screen tap City (2nd row down) which takes you to another screen - in the bottom left corner you should see Postcd - tap that and box for postcode entry comes up.

My wife phoned me the other day after not being able to find it  :grin:

I wonder if that along with the dipped reverse mirror is the most common thing for customers to go back to the dealer with on a new car?

As Booth says its in the city / town setting bottom left.

Sunvisor perhaps?

My wifes GTI had a terrible rattle that I was convinced was behind the dash until I was told on here to try folding the visor down and see if that helps and it cured it  :smiley:

I'll try that on the way to work in the morning, but as you i am convinced its the passenger door trim, it's much louder than the drivers side, if i bang across the trim on the drivers side it goes but always comes back

Mine went in a few weeks ago for that. The black plastic trim needed some packing behind it and inside the door, our VW production line friends had forgotten to put some anti-rattle tape on the bars that go from the door release handle to the locking mechanism. It's loads better, but not perfect. And I rarely have the radio on so it can be annoying, especially with the windows shut.
