Dropped from standard when Mk7.5 launched, then brought back as standard later, can't remember exactly when.

Keyless seems to have come back from late 2018 for the run out 2019 models. It all got a bit confusing with spec changes and I think many is us lost track of what was changed when with the FL (7.5) cars as all the WLTP fuss and resulting build and subsequent delivery delays muddied the waters further, there were probably a hotch potch of cars sat in various places unregistered.

It might well have changed, and we might well have lost track, but I'm never sure why it matters, you know? When you're buying a car, it's easy to find out what features it has. It doesn't matter whether they were standard at the time or not. Once you own the car, you also don't care whether they were standard or not. Who cares if they know what features were on what cars at what time?

Heated seats if you hadn't got leather already.

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

Not sure thats 100% correct Fred - cars with xenons certainly did have the washer jets for the lamps (and the enlarged capacity reservoir) but the windscreen washer jets were not heated as standard. So on cars that had cloth interiors the 'winter pack' would comprise heated seats and heated windscreen washer jets.

........plus an indicator light for low washer fluid, I believe.
