I just got a golf 8R in like two days i was pretty confused about how everything works until i found this video amazing work thank you so much

You omitted two features:
1. The icons on all the IS screens can be rearranged etc, like on a mobile phone - touch, hold and move, additional screens can be added / deleted.
2. The dropdown menu - the shortcuts shown can be changed as before touch, hold and change, especially add the one for traction control.

Great video! Love how in depth you go. I have one on order and this helps soften the wait time

[chrisrodriguez]

This video is the most helpful ive seen as of yet

[DeborahKan-ui]

great video jerry, i learnt a lot for my new golf 8. do you know with the hand brake on this model is it necessary to use or does it go on automatically when you put car in Park or stop engine?

[NileshParmar]

How to add media from a usb c stick, will it save to the system or rely on the usb c stick? Great video too.

Hi Jerry. Thanks for the video. Two days in with my new Golf and this helped a lot. One question please - how do I get the icon showing my favourite radio station on full screen so I can see the name of the artist / track etc. I managed this by accident when I first got the car but the media screen now goes back to the default scenario as per your video. Thanks

[bm-imhr]

please help where the phone call ends. I answer by pressing the OK button on the steering wheel for phone calls, and I can only end the conversation on multimedia. On OK I can't end the call

[mrallen]

Many thanks, Jerry. I was getting a bit bogged down working my way through the manual.

[Veso]

Where are u located (like what region car do u have)
I think u dont have DAB, so probably not in UK

Can u show Radio part in more detail?
Do u have AM radio (could u check this please)

Thanks for the great video

[foki_official]

Is there any way to turn off the screen without turning off the radio? Can't find a setting for this.

[kennethfan]

I was wondering if you would provide me the information of how to turn off the radio once I selected and put the radio channel as my favorite. Thank you!

[DXingSlovenija]

Does Radio allow you to manualy tune the station by frequency?

also can I use the display with rotary buttons on this vehicle, I realy don't like the touch display, its hard to navigate while driving and rotary controls are faster, also what mib is this, is it MIB2, 2.5 or 3?

[abtheman]

Hey mate I have a 2021 mk8 r line. I'm trying to find the temp gauge for engine. Where is it located?

[barryhobbs]

i have just got my new mk 8 gtd but cant work out how to set up the lowering of the mirrors when reverse, can you help or advise

[PrimozJamnik]

Is it possible to use android auto f.ex. google maps and car stereo simultaniously?

[juceking]

does the golf life infotainment have the same features of the gti and R ones?

[pareshpremjee]

So how do I set the clock with this car. I’ve read the manual and no instructions are there. Please help :(

[MetYl]

[denniso]

Is it possible to permanently switch off the "start-stop" system?
