Excellent video. Just bought my Atlas 2024 full, but I noticed a few things that are a bit disappointed. First, it doesn't seem to have a lowering mirrors when reverse on the DRIVER side, just on the right side mirror. Don't understand why. Second, there is no backlit for the volume +/- buttons, right under the main tablet system. At night there is no way to see those buttons. And third, and the most important, is about sensors when approaching an object; they are all activated, but it doesn't seem to alert on time that you are approaching something...scary specially if you are driving and have to stop suddenly. Any comments? Thanks.
I have 2024 VW Atlas comfortline It has these disadvantages so far 1- water gets inside the engine room once you wash my Atlas 2- you have to put the driving mode on Eco every time you start the car , it is annoying 3- the car is rattling a lot from the doors and seats 4- the sound of the heating fan is loud 5- it doesn’t have the windshield heater inside the frond window glass , Toyota rav4 has it 6- line assist is not very efficient, try it and you will know what I mean 7- the radar system doesn’t work in the snowy and rainy conditions 8- the fan of climate control is only controlled by the screen, if the screen damaged then you may freeze or get very hot until you get to a mechanical shop 9- the engine turns off once you shift the gear from R to D
So VW doesn"t tell the public that the Car New Module is defective and it takes MONTHS to get the part in.. There were over 700 people waiting for the same part and I had to wait from MARCH til this month to get the damn part in.. They KNEW it was defective and still kept selling the Atlas with out Navigation Maps and other features because the Car Net Module ran all those programs. VW was sued in a Class Action Lawsuit over this exact issue.. You think after that they would fix that issue before selling more cars with the defective part
Try JEEP 🙄we’re in the middle of a lemon law lawsuit right now. You wouldn’t expect for the price we paid for a grand Cherokee summit to have the issues we’re having. From what our mechanic has told us most carmakers had/have issues for the higher end 2023 models. Our JEEP has been at the dealership shop more the half the time we’ve owned it. It’s frustrating for sure
Yes. Controls are on the driver seat. Set where you want the seat and outside mirrors. Press Set and then one of the numbers, 1, 2, or 3 to save the preset with the key you have on you at that time.
Another fun fact that is super good for The VW suite of vehicles... If your windows are open, you can press and hold the luck button on the door to close everything, including sunroof and sunshade, if they are automatic, and the reverse is true .. if its warm outside and you know yiu are leaving soon, press and hold unlock on keyfob to open all the door windows to let the vehicle breath.
Great info! I'm having trouble pairing for automatic start with the app....do you have a video on that. my vehicle is registered to app but says it still needs to pair, I'm paired because I use the phone, etc.
@BachmanVolkswagenLouisville For the phone overheating issues I've had with the wireless charger - my dealer did a software update that's supposed to address this issue. My version was 1939 and they updated to 1969. The phone still heats up on the charger if not fully charged, but so far I haven't gotten the overheat warning again. I haven't taken a long trip of and hour plus yet, so we will see...
Thank you for the great video! One question. How does the foot swipe under the bumper work? I can only get it to work sometimes and never when I need it with an arm full of stuff. 2024 Atlas SEL Peak edition.
Go to the back left side of the car and move you foot underneath the bumper from left to right and step back. The back door will open. I just llearn that today, got mine few days back and we love it.
Now that the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport does not come with the options to program the garage door in the rearview mirror, is there an option other than putting an opener in the car?
Wish you would have shown how to activate the folding side mirrors. I watched one video but it said to access it through the infotainment settings but mine does not have an option for side mirrors or does it have the option on the side mirror adjustment joystick on the door. My window sticker says mine is equipped with folding mirrors
I'd like more information on the shortcut buttons bellow the display. Are they programmable? Could I set one to quickly open radio interface and display my presets? Another to open a navigation menu etc? is there any zoom feature on maps either of the displays? Thanks for your video. Getting confidence in the tech aspects of this car is holding me back from purchase.
I just traded my 2021 Atlas Cross Sport in yesterday for the new 2024 Atlas Cross Sport R line. I can't figure out how to get the mirrors to fold in when I lock it like my other one did. Otherwise, I love the car.
This is the R line, and you would think so, but it doesn't have that feature. It also doesn't have the compass in the rear-view mirror. But overall I do like the new one better than the 2021. The computer is much easier to navigate, the heated seats actually heat to where they feel warm. I do miss the folding mirrors and the compass though. @@joshuagomez2086
Mr. Bachman; How are you sir? I am interested how to reset the REAR ASSISTANCE CHECK LIGHT DUE TO THE LITTLE INCIDENT COST ME $1300.00 BY THE DEALER CHEAP TO RESETING IT. I don't want to pay $1300.00. It is the light that is in the dash indicating, Rear Assist Light Inop, thanks. Guess I have to take it to the dealership but it cost me $1300.00. Respectfully; Andy
I have a great question for you, that no one can answer, I recently bought a 24 cross sport sel premium r and for some reason when I go through my different speedometers on the view button, I am missing the “R” style speedometer do you happen to know why?
A couple of forums said that the screen was disabled in cars built more recently. My Atlas was built in February and didn’t have it. That said, it can be unlocked with a specific OBD tool. If you know someone with a VCDS or OBDEleven, they can use the coding feature to unlock it. With the right tool, it’s pretty easy to do. Your dealer may be able to do it for you. The setting for it is set as disabled. If you google “atlas r-line OBDEleven”, you should be able to find info.
I cannot do any of these selections without having my car on. I have a notification that comes on to let me know not to use my car on idle. I am technically challenged so this can be annoying. Is there a hidden feature to be able to set up my car, while watching UA-cam on a device or reading my manual? Not everyone tries to multitask while driving. I want my car set up before I get on the ride. Old school here. I am have had my new Atlas since Feb. I still have difficulty setting my cruise control. I don’t like taking my eyes off the road to do something that should be automatic by touch without looking at lights. 12,000 mi+ mi. Already, I’ll never buy another one. Very unsafe car for me.
The bad points of my VW Atlas 2024 are You can’t put the seat heat ON at night in order to have a warm seat or steering once you start the engine at morning inside your house Secondly You can’t put the car on Eco mode permanently But we have to change to eco mode every time we start the car
Yes You can! I just figured it out. Click on climate control settings and you will see it says switch on at start of trip depending on the settings. You can select seat heating, seat ventilation, and steering wheel heating
The car saves the selection until you change it. I drive mostly in eco mode and when I turn on the car it’s still in eco mode. Same thing if I select comfort mode.
No, unless you potentially have a computer hookup to turn certain things on or off, this is a legal compliance thing that they have to have on by default.

Just bought a 2024 RLine and have two questions... when playing music (not via apple car play) how do I get the screen to display the album and artist? Second, is the exit screen. It shows the seats of the car and the front two are greyed out and the back are an orange color. What does this mean? There is a clickable pencil icon in the corner but when I click it , it doesnt seem to do anything. Any help?
Atlas is awesome but as with most new cars, dont get the app. It turns your car into a data mining machine. Every imaginable detail about your driving can be sold. 🎉
My infotainment unit constantly reboots while driving. Very annoying. Also the feature that kills the engine at the light is just a starter motor waiting to be replaced. Not impressed. I actually prefer driving my Chrysler town and country minivan over the Atlas
Я разочарован этой машиной, за 2 года проехал 18000 миль и 3 раза имел поломки заменили прокладку головки цилиндров, сальники коленвала, и проводку двери.

I buy last week! Great car for the money, big like minivan but looks good. Warranty 4 years 50.000 miles
Don't forget the sound system SUCKS !! Anyone find out how to bypass the volume limiter yet ?

Omg I just bought this vehicle and noticed no navigation.
I got so sick of all the little things that went wrong with my 2024 Atlas, I got rid of it. Horrible vehicle.
Tell me the part number you need friend I can get it
Can you sink your key with the seat adjustment?
Yes. Controls are on the driver seat. Set where you want the seat and outside mirrors. Press Set and then one of the numbers, 1, 2, or 3 to save the preset with the key you have on you at that time.
is this available on the base SE trim?
Can you show us the atlas at night? Lighting looks awesome!
Yes! There are some shots of that in the full review which goes live in 10 mins!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just got my Atlas CS last week and didn't find out about the non-driver door unlock access until your video.

Is there away to have the clock display on while playing music or is there a way to turn off the screen with apps on in background
Why doesn't Atlas Cross sport premium R line give me the option to use R line mode view?
I just bought the 2024 SE w/Tech does this module have ambient lighting and rear sunshades?
Can you explain about the harman sound system in 2024 atlas,any settings needs to be done?
There's a USB-C socket on the rear view mirror on the passenger side, intended for powering a dash cam.
I’ll check this out.

Should have played it before you purchased the vehicle
@ericlou3405 I only test drove it..
I had high hopes. My fender system on my Tiguan is incredible. I cannot believe how HORRIBLE this Harman Kardon is. I mean it’s REALLY bad.
How do you change the media display to show song playing rather than just the favorites screen w stations saved
Swipe left I think when you press media
Press The button under the heart icon
Swipe your hand from right to left
