2015 Model Changes
« on: 29 October 2019, 20:52 »
Hi

Does anyone know what changes were made with the 2015 refresh?

I think it was the start button and sat nav being standard, but I'm certain there were other changes?

Many thanks

Assuming you are referring to the GTi;-

Introduction of MIB2 media units.
Sat nav as standard
Winter pack as standard
Keyless entry as standard
App Connect available as a paid option
7.5 GTD

Excellent, thank you.

I don’t suppose you recall what the winter pack comprised of?

Thanks

Heated seats if you hadn't got leather already.

You already had heated washer jets with UK spec cars with bi-xenons.

That would’ve been the 2016 model year changes that were incorporated into Golf GTI’s built from build week 22 in 2015. Assume that’s what the OP is referring to as changes made with the 2015 refresh, and not the 2015 model year changes that would have been introduced into production form build week 22 in 2014.

Yep, assume that's what op meant. Week 22 2015.

Don't recall any changes of note for MY2015 (i.e. week 22 2014). Although the forum search function may bring something up.

Thanks.

It’s a March 2015, but has start button and keyless.

Perhaps keyless was an option then?

Any websites to check options list on a car?

Again, many thanks.

Think it would have been an option back then. Having a start button and keyless go hand in hand :wink:

I understand people in the trade can maybe access this info but don't imagine there is any free software that allows the general public to do so.

If you check your car’s data sticker, it’ll include the codes for the factory options that were fitted to your car when it was built. There should be a data sticker in the front of your service book, and another under the carpet in the boot area (on later cars, the boot sticker was hidden behind the plastic hatch opening sill to the right of the boot catch). Pretty certain there are various VW options decode tools and lists on the internet somewhere......... just Google ‘VW options decode list’ and there’ll be various resources that’ll enable you to work out what options you have.

If your car has a specific feature that doesn’t have an options code on the data sticker, then it’s probably safe to assume it was part of the car’s standard spec when it was built, or it may be something that was activated by a previous owner way of a coding change using VCDS or OBD11.
