I've had mine a few months now and finding the happy spot took some time.
I go with the Speed and Gears display mode for 99% of the time. Usually with driving data of mpg since start to show me that I need to calm down.
If am using VW Nav then I have found that instead of just putting the map between Speed and Gears, swapping to Navigation is better - because you get the maneuver details on the clocks.
On the other hand, my 1500 quid navpro even with carnet active for traffic is poor compared to Google or Wayez via Android Auto.
When those are active, you can't use any of the nav display stuff on the AID anyway.
Meh.
