Active Info Display As Standard - MK7.5 GTi Facelift
« on: 01 September 2017, 16:52 »
Curious, does the Active Info Display come as standard? I've been watching a few YouTube videos lately of the mk7.5 facelift and they seem to all come with the dials. Although these vids are from like Australia and South Africa. Does the Country play a part in what comes as standard?

I checked the price list brochure and it does look as though its standard.



Can anyone confirm?

I was quite surprised that it's standard, and it was quite easy for us to avoid the 'Discover Pro' £1325 option.

The Discover Pro lets you show navigation maps on the dashboard and entertainment screen at the same time, and it's a bit bigger, but neither of these things bothered us.

The "gesture control" looks a bit naff. Not sure what the two knobs on the standard system do, but I like knobs... you can use them without looking.

Problem I found with gesture control is if you put your hand on the gear lever or your passenger reaches for the USB then the radio station changes or the track your listening to either skips on or resets to beginning, I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes before it got on my nerves and I switched it off

I've turned off gesture control too. Too much accidental media track skipping when I change gear. Not missed it since. It was pretty lame anyway.

Don't know why you would delete it, it's a great bit of kit I didn't think I'd buy into it but certainly did.
