Great video! Love how in depth you go. I have one on order and this helps soften the wait time
This video is the most helpful ive seen as of yet
Thanks for your comment.
Great video!
Good video. Thank you
Thank you.
Awesome video thank you. I learned all the options before get the car 😁
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.
Thanks for that. I will make sure that is added in other future videos.
How do i add it? i have tried to hold down the buttons and it won’t change idky
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
You cannot. And it doesn't show the song played either...👎
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?
Good question mate
Please slowly how do you switch on heating
Is there any way to turn off the screen without turning off the radio? Can't find a setting for this.
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!
Press the on / off button below the screen for turning off the sound.
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.
Thanks
It won't save to the system unfortunately. I think it will need to be plugged in.
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?
hi do you know hot to turn off the radio??
how**
Many thanks, Jerry. I was getting a bit bogged down working my way through the manual.
Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped!
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
Hi how do we change at what level the headlights are ? On my old golf there was a dial with 1,2 and 3. I can’t figure out how to do it on my new golf. They are quite low
Most new Golfs have got an adaptive headlight. The LEDs automatically change its leveling around corner, facing cars and etc. This is more advanced than the old one.
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
Thanks for the comment. This is a New Zealand version so no DAB. I have done the FM part and it is identical to the AM.
@@JerryPanandCars ah I see
Does AM work in ur car?
What is ur VIN? (So I know ur exact model)
You see, I would like to retrofit AM into my car, that for some reason is missing some part and even if I enable AM with my tools, it doesnt pick up any station look: ua-cam.com/video/N230tgJciFo/v-deo.html
So thats why I am looking for cars that have AM so I could compare their wiring diagrams and find out what is missing on mine
Hope u understand, its a very wierd request but its very important to me
will the parking sensors stay off even if you shut off and re-start?
It will reset and comes back on as default.
So how do I set the clock with this car. I’ve read the manual and no instructions are there. Please help :(
check 24:25
Hey mate I have a 2021 mk8 r line. I'm trying to find the temp gauge for engine. Where is it located?
It’s at 18:18 in this video
I have a question i bought a golf mk8 but i dont know how to add songs to my media this car didnt have usb port or sd card how do i listen do music without my phone
It should have USB type C connection. You need to buy a dongle to connect your USB stick.
Is it possible to use android auto f.ex. google maps and car stereo simultaniously?
Yes, you can use google map with car radio at the background.
does the golf life infotainment have the same features of the gti and R ones?
Hi there, yes, most features are identical. This varies from different markets though.
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
I think all you need to do is turn the power mirror switch on the driver door to the right mirror position and leave it there. Should work then.
is there a way to upgrade from 8inch to 10inch screen?
Not from VW as far as i know.
Is it me or does the climatision controls look like they are backlit now?
Mine are definitely not back lit in the US at least lol
Did you do an assit video?
I did one for standard VW not for Golf specifically. Most of it should be similar:
ua-cam.com/video/4p-oRJgbd8E/v-deo.htmlsi=IyC56fL0PGv0cGQQ
My interior heating with the ap does not work , why?
We don't have the App in NZ sadly. Please refer to your local dealer.
Is it possible to permanently switch off the "start-stop" system?
Not possible unfortunately.
@@JerryPanandCars One more thing I'd like to ask, if you can give me an answer - there is a button on the side of turn signal handle.. what's it for?? :)
I can't figure it out, and there's nothing in the manual about it.
840 KM as estimated range is the most impressive
🤔
Yep, the fuel consumption is really good.
Hi unrelated but what % tint is that on the back?
It’s not tint. It’s actually privacy glass. That’s equal to be around 20% I believe.
@@JerryPanandCars thanks
how to turn off rear a/c?
Manually switch off the air vents
@@JerryPanandCars thanks! any idea to turn off the wireless charger in the system menu? or there is no way to do so
The radio display and the off- CarPlay/AndroidAuto Media Player is horrible and cheap in the Golf 8. Even my 2009 Skoda Octavia showed the track title played on the radio. This doesn't. The Bluetooth media player (when not in AndroidAuto/AppleCar) also doesn't show song titles, artwork and you cannot skip the songs. 🤷♂️
it is probably related to your phone settings not allowing the unit to show your song information or skip songs. My phone connection is fine.
@@JerryPanandCars I'll check, but that wouldn't explain the poor Radio display though. Is there any way to put the radio station full screen? Showing the frequency and the song played?
Many cars do not display songs played anymore.
Sorry no idea how it works after third instruction to quick rather have buttons dials like my 3 yr old Tiguan
How to open yt
UA-cam? Not possible.
Great informative video. I had to mute and not keep watching. You change your voice to go 'uuuUUPP' 'hooouuUULD' windouuUUSSS' frustration sorry but your normal voice relaxed in english would have been golden :(
:(
Not very safe prefer dials
Physical dials are better I agree.
The huge black bezel/border around the screen screams budget manufacturer. Stick with the mk7.
Cool.
I don’t own this car but I own a car with a screen that’s like this trust me you need a bezel because when you are driving your hand is wobbling all of the place on these screens. I end up leaning my can on the screen as a way of getting stability so that I can then press what I want to. If I had less stability I wouldn’t be able to use these things hardly at all
MK7 sucks
华裔吗
中国人
@@JerryPanandCars 老哥 可以出一期讲mk8 gti的Assist Systems的视频讲解吗？
@@SL-un2wp 我看看月底有没有机会哈，不确定。
@@JerryPanandCars 好嘞 谢谢你！
Too fast!
Video is done I can’t change it anymore. Try using the play speed function on UA-cam. Hope that helps.
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?
For NZ spec, the handbrake goes on and off automatically
