Has anyone got a 2016/17 Golf with windscreen heating?

[itavaltalainen]

I have it too - but my estate is MY2014.

Sorry to be on topic but I have a 2016 with the heated screen. I too have selected the auto heating but it never seems to do it automatically either. I just put it on as and when required.

Its an expensive option but it's so useful for cold mornings.

Think more so in a diesel than a petrol as it was 2 mins and near clear screen just on the screen defrost (blowers) this morning and no need to scrape whatsoever. (1 degree was on gauge)

Hi. Does yours come on when you select the windscreen max button on the climate control?

Tried it this morning and no it doesn't.

Looks like a programming problem on our models then as the manual says it should and my 2014 MY did. I can't believe you have to go into a sub menu when driving to turn it on.

Sooooo back to the wondscreen.  Nobody else seems to have the heated screen?

I have it on my GTD.Since i live in Scotland i use it quite a bit from Nov-Feb.As others have said.It (the diesel) takes an eternity to warm up so i knew i had to have it.Shame about the advanced tele prep crap you have to spec with it-but that's how it is with VW.
Mine is also set to come on automatically when you press the max demist button.I notice it de-ices quicker than it de-mists.I haven't had to switch onto manual heating as yet.Maybe the auto demist function isn't as good as it claims to be?.
I would get VW to check it out.Maybe your heating element is faulty?.

Many thanks. You can check if it comes on with the max demist fuction as it shows up on the convenience w consumers list when it's on. It was fine on my Gti but certainly not ok the R.
I imagine it's a messed up new version of the software.

I have a manual Golf R with Climate Windscreen.  I also find I have to enable the option for climate windscreen every morning when I want to use it. As far as I know, mine does not come on automatically when I press Max Windscreen
