This was really helpful! Just bought a 2022 Golf R, and I didn't know about the corner view, with the backup cam, or the one touch steering wheel heat shutoff.
I'm not sure if your GTI is the same as my R, so this may not work. When it starts in "sport" mode showing the D and not the S, you can use the little nugget where you would put it in Reverse, Neutral, or Drive and just pull it down like you were going to put it in Drive. It should actually put it into a sport mode at that point, changing the D to an S.
Just got a GTI s. Love it. As far as the sport mode, question, if you remember there was that guy out in California who had the Hyundai Elantra n and they got pulled over for too loud up and exhaust I bet the sport exhaust is too loud for stock California laws. And so the way the California test all that is that it is by the default of the car so if the car runs in sport mode when it starts and it’s loud, it will fail that test. So I think Volkswagen does that for people that have noise issues and noise testing so they won’t ever get a ticket for it because it will default to the comfort mode when the tester gets into the car even though it says sport mode.
It used to be illegal to project red or blue from the front of your car, assuming because it looks police car like, but the dodge redeyes get away with it now so I’m not certain of the legalities of it any more.
Great video man, also would you consider doing a video about the best seat covers to get for the GTI? I am shopping around but i dont seem to find any covers for the mk8.
Why anyone would need eco or comfort mode in a GTI or R. Thank you for your advice. I think GTI owners should have a class action against VW for not disclose product features
@Victor check if you have DCC as it’s and extra added feature.Press the mode button located by the triangle hazzard button .If u have adaptive dampers thers about 15 suspension settings to the left adjust more comfort and to the right adjust more sporty suspension
I bought one in October. Same exact color too. I love this car. I’m gonna software flash it so I can get 300hp instantly but I had a choice of blue or silver and I love the silver. It doesn’t stick out which is what I wanted and it looks cool. I haven’t gotten pulled over yet (knocks on wood) 😂 I will be subbing btw
Thats awesome, Congrats. Same here, such a fun car. Im going to do a stage 1 tune at some point. I did want a white one but the silver has grown on me and i love it aswell, thanks for the sub!
I have a question about the emotion start. I thought that only the Golf R 20 Years have this feature. And i can’t find any other vid where somebody talks about the emotion start on a normal GTI. 11:18
Subbed to help you reach 1k! I remember when I reached my 1k and got accepted for monetization! It’s a great feeling. However, the pay isn’t that great 😅😂
You're videos are pretty good for your age, but watch other car reviews videos and listen to how they speak. You fumbled over words and few times and repeated things. But you'll get that dream job one day bud.
I love hidden features/tips and trick videos such as these, would love to see a part 3 next time! Also if its for efficiency or pollution purposes, I don't get why the car doesn't let me start in Eco Mode and still reverts to Comfort Mode 🥲
Excellent video. I've had my MK8 for a year now, and didn't know about most of these. Thanks and keep up the great content.
Thank you! Glad you learned something new
As an owner of a new MK8 GTI, I greatly appreciate some of these hidden details!
This was really helpful! Just bought a 2022 Golf R, and I didn't know about the corner view, with the backup cam, or the one touch steering wheel heat shutoff.
I am a recent owner of a '24 MK8. Very helpful, hidden tricks and tips! Thank you.
Also on the camera screen, where the car is show on the left, if you slide that left, you get the camera full view on the screen
Yes! I recently found that out. Will go into a part 3 eventually
Cool will try
Thank you for the backup camera tip. Was driving me nuts!!!
Glad I could help!

Yes, mine is the same to.
yes Dustin , GTIs or Rs we don't have to change mode to 'Sport" again to have the S showing , just pull down the knob and voila , but great video!
According to the manual, emotion start is only available in the golf r. It will rev the car to just over 2000 rpm.
Just got a GTI s. Love it.

Yes I remember that but mainly I think it’s for emissions related reasons… congrats on the Gti btw!
Why dont u have red in your headlights? I only see red on your front grill but not in the headlights!
Because the US spec gtis don’t get red in the headlights, only the Europeans do. It’s kinda strange..

At 2:14 how do you get the radio to display like that?!! I can't figure it out on mine, although I just got it yesterday
You just slide over in your selected station.
@@ShepsGarage thanks, I finally figured it out yesterday!
Does the GTI have any cylinder deactivation on the DSG or the Manual?
I don’t believe so
Why anyone would need eco or comfort mode in a GTI or R. Thank you for your advice. I think GTI owners should have a class action against VW for not disclose product features
No problem!
If you press the gear shift down it will be in sport as well
Also on DCC put it on the highest sportiest setting,feels like a race car mad stiff and pops and bangs louder
Good to know! Thanks! This will go into part 3 eventually!
What’s DCC?
Dynamic chassis control
@@tyroneaprill3763 how do you go into that setting?
@Victor check if you have DCC as it’s and extra added feature.Press the mode button located by the triangle hazzard button .If u have adaptive dampers thers about 15 suspension settings to the left adjust more comfort and to the right adjust more sporty suspension
Are these in the factory manual?
Yes you can get a manual.
@@ShepsGarage I mean the Owner's manual/book.
@@ShepsGarage😂 different kind of manual lol

Dude! Clean your screen! There's goop all over your dashboard....and its dirty.🤔
I keep a small microfibre cloth in my car specifically for cleaning the screen !
Made me cringe so much lol
Imagine what his room looks like. 😢
Highlights another problem with a touch screen dashboard
Not all people deserve a GTI.
Brushes are 5 bucks on Amazon for the screen please get it
Subbed. Ty for the content. Looking forward to more!
Sounds good! Thank you for the support
👍🏽 good vid. Screen always needs cleaning
Keep up the good work!
Thank you will do.
I have a question about the emotion start. I thought that only the Golf R 20 Years have this feature. And i can’t find any other vid where somebody talks about the emotion start on a normal GTI. 11:18
I found it on a MK8 GTI Facebook form. It works on GTI to.
Ok very nice, i will try it on mine in one month when i got it
Sounds good
@@ShepsGarage Did you have a link for facebook or for the vid of volkswizard?
Search for him on UA-cam - he is great 👍
did you do any height adjustment on your car?
Yes it’s lowered.
Great video man!
Thank you!
Subbed to help you reach 1k! I remember when I reached my 1k and got accepted for monetization! It’s a great feeling. However, the pay isn’t that great 😅😂
Thank you! Haha I know but money is money!
The GTI and R should default to start in Sport mode, with auto start/stop off and lane assist off.
I agree!
Can be switched off with obd11
Great video
Thanks!
Nice 💓🔥💵
The id
le on the new exhaust sounds great.
Thank you!
have you heard of the nurburgring mode? But that only works with the adaptive chassis
For the love of VW, clean the screen!
You're videos are pretty good for your age, but watch other car reviews videos and listen to how they speak. You fumbled over words and few times and repeated things. But you'll get that dream job one day bud.
Thank you. I’m working on it but thanks for the feedback
How did you make enough money to buy this car?
Investing, working summers, sneaker reselling business.
In other words.... your parents... Lucky you.
@pulldpin You didn't see the parents audi? 😂
@@pulldpin67 bro said investing 😭😭😭
you need to clean your dash
Shoutout to Volkswizard!
credo che il monitor prima di fare un video del genere vada pulito 🤣
Dude, clean your car before you make a video, thanks for a good video, but . . .
bro got a brand new GTI and is doing oil changes himself lol you're car will be the cheapest on the market in the future
Are you even allowed to have a DL kid? 😅
Lame

Awesome I’m glad you like. I’ll be sure to do a part 3 some time in the future. Yeah it super strange. I think that’s the way the car is coded.
