DynAudio questions

[kmpowell]

It was available in November on the GTI as a £150 option as I ticked it when playing with the configurator  but disappeared once they came on sale again in the New Year. So I’m still unsure whether it’s part of the dynamic curve lighting (now standard) or not available without the full light assist package. I suspect the former as it was a standalone option on the A3 but if that was upgraded to Dynanic Curve, you couldn’t have it. I prefer HBA over the curve function but both are great features and infinitely better than halogens!

It really is quite straight forward...

Curve lighting is standard on all 7.5 GTi's, it's part of the LED headlight setup. Curve has nothing to do with HBA or DLA, you get Curve regardless.

If a Golf GTI has Dynamic Light Assist(DLA), it won't/can't have High Beam Assist (HBA). All new MY19's(built mid December 18 onwards) have DLA as part of the package that became standard, therefore HBA was dropped as an option for the GTI.

Thank you for the clarification.

I know HBA, DLA and Curve are all different things.  I also knew you could not have HBA with Curve; and that DLA is an advancement of HBA thereby making it redundant.  What I wasn't sure on, was whether or not DLA comes as standard.  My spec sheet with my MY19 order says Curve is standard (ie: without HBA) and if I want DLA, it's a £1225 optional extra as part of the Lane Assist Plus with Dynamic Light Assist package.

Listed as standard equipment the website says "Dynamic headlight control and dynamic cornering light' so I am assuming the 'dynamic headlight control' element is for all intents and purposes the equivalent of HBA in all but name.  The curve thing is where the lights turn with the steering wheel (had that on a previous car).

Are we signing from the same hymn sheet now?  Cheers.

Yes you could, curve was/is totally standard and independent from HBA and DLA. Curve lighting is not related or impacted by HBA/DLA. Curve is just part of the LED headlights which are standard. The only thing you could not have together is HBA and DLA. HBA was a £150 option, DLA was a £650/£1225 option (see below) which would wipe out HBA if previously selected.

For MY19 (Mid December builds and onwards) HBA no longer exists because DLA comes as standard on the GTI Performance. DLA is part of two packs that are available on the Golf. The GTI Performance now gets the £650 pack fitted as standard...
