Mk7.5 owners - how do you configure yours??
« on: 27 September 2017, 12:09 »
I've had my GTI for nearly 3 months and on pick day spent most of journey home playing around with the different configurations for the AID, which seems to have a lot of different options. I came to the conclusion that it actually doesn't show that enough information so left it on this screen below which I actually like as the dials are smaller and you can zoom in and out on the map if you need it. AID is good and clear and don't miss normal dials, these are the future for sure.



In the last week or so I thought I'd best try out some other options but I still don't think it show that much. Been trying this setting below but I do prefer the smaller dials and it only shows mpg and range. Shame its not got the single rev counter option that Audi's RS models have as think that would be great. The driving data is poor as doesn't show overview of everything which would be good but can only get this on main screen.



Whats everyone else settled on or do you find yourself flicking though still??

Don't really like the map on the console display, looks a bit too messy. I normally drive with the map on the central console screen as I am rarely driving with nav active but like the look of the map there.

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.

Think the temp that displays is just water temp and can't be changed same as fuel display can't be changed.

Thanks, i was sure the GTI came with an Oil Temp reading (think it was in the menu)?  Just like the GTD.  I find it very useful and was hoping there would be one on the GTI.

Thats all on the performance monitor, which is only displayed on the MIB.

Not strictly true. On driving data you can select stuff like speed, all the consumption info and oil temp, but you can only view one at a time... But yes it also can be seen on the performance monitor as well  :smiley:

Another question about the display

Can you configure what info you have between the speed and rev counter.  And in the middle of the speedo and in the middle of the rev counter.

For me i would have -

Middle of rev counter - Oil temp
Middle of speedo - Fuel Range
Between speedo and rev counter - sat nav or stereo info
