Just bought a new car and the old driver profile was there. This helps the handover perfectly and really allows me to personalise the car to my taste! Thanks for making this!
Also worth noting the profiles are associated with the key. So you and your partner can each have a key with the corresponding default profile. This saves selecting the profile when you turn on the ignition. Driving mode is also set by the profile.
How do you set this, i can't for the life of me get ours to remember. I have a profile as my name, and i set it all using my key and seat position is stored as Men position 1, set my wife to 2 and used her key to set it up. when i unlock with her key after i drive it still puts her into my profile and seat position?
@@noahha5972 i did, you set the position of the mirrors and seat with the key you unlock, then go through the menu on the stereo to driver profile and then save it to the key in there. there is a procedure in the boo to set the left mirror to tilt down when in the LEFT setting in reverse also that is handy.
Hi Gents,great vid, would these profiles also adjust the "Individual" Driving mode according to the driver profile chosen? Also can you show me what buttons are up top near the map lights, in fact can you show all interior lights etc too please?
Hi I like the video. USER PROFILES! Have had the Golf (from new) for 3 months but the question I can't seem to get answered is: How do I get the Infotainment system/Driver profile/key(s) etc to remember both me and my wife's individual mirror settings? Am I missing something in the Vehicle detailed menus?
I have just brought a 2016 Tiguan sel which seems to be fully loaded and I noticed it has white lights under the door mirrors you think it would be possible to change these lights so that it projects the vw logo or something onto the ground ?
Hi matey, Dave down in East Devon here. I have this March its purchased the ew 20 plate Tiguan. My question is, on the dash display, is it possible to permenantly turn off the huge compass direction that fill the dashboard display. Many Many Thanks. Dave.
I have noticed the sat nav screen comes up frosted when you turn the car on -- is this normal do you know or am I missing a setting somewhere ?. Also have not found any trip meter as of yet (?) grateful any suggestion/s
That is super cool to answer so in depth for me Dave, great video, thanks 👍 I can also confirm the driver profile will remember the mirror setting per driver and the seat settings if electric ones are fitted (standard on the R in Oz). Thanks again 😎
Ben Stix hey Ben, do the seats automatically go into position or is there some way to enable this? My seats are electric but they don’t move with driver profiles.
Re comment by Chris It may be obvious (not to me!) but how do I associate a specific profile with a key so that the profile selected on entry matches key being used to open the car and adjusts seat settings plus other profile characteristics ? Thanks Howard
After a couple go months, i finally sorted how to assign the key to profile (thanks to a mate who is a VW Tech) open car with second key - select profile - then go to vehicle - personalisation, scroll down and where it says key to profile change from Manual to auto( i think) and then hit unlock on the key fob and it will save that profile to the key.
Hi Dave! I am also from Australia and your videos are amazing. After watching your 2 part video of the Tiguan 2021 r line in white I had purchased one! So VW should really thank your for your great work. Would love to see some more videos of the Tiguan 2021 r line and some walkthrough of the tech in the car if you guys could! Thanks, Munaj
Hi dave mike here from south wales how do i change the sat nav on the mk7.5 gti as when i am puting in the post code it will not let me put the numbers in all the numbers are blank thanks mike
I've just brought a vw passat r line and every time I start the car it comes on with the previous owner on the dash which pisses me and then I have to scroll through to select my profile. How do you delete the previous owners profile. Thanks
Hi Dave. Just recently bought a gtd from the uk and I live in ireland. My question is, can the speed dial be changed to kph. I have the display at the bottom in kph, but the dial figures remains in mph.
Mk7 pro Nav. How do I disable when both my wife and I are in the car and both of our phones connect via Bluetooth. It’s annoying if the passenger gets a call and it plays through the car speakers. I only want whoever drives to be Bluetooth connected. I have viewed and tried everything I know including driver profiles but still connects both phones. Can you help thx
Question off point, sorry! Do you really need dynamic hassis control for the 18” wheels on the Passat saloon? Is it something specifically recommended for the 19”wheels?
Hi Dave We've recently bought a 2018 Tiguan 190 R Line, with lots of toys on. I'm struggling personalising the seating positions also which you haven't sown in this video. Any chance of an update please? Cheers Andy (Rossendale, Lancs.)
That's great. With the Active Info Display, I see your profile is set up to read kms, where Phil's is in miles. So you can set this parameter yourself, yes? I'm about to buy one in the UK and ship it to NZ. Everything is in kms here and I've been told there is no way you can set the display on the car to show kms. Seems I've been told wrong - could you verify for me? Cheers.
I believe you can. You enter the Car menu, select settings, go down to units. This setting should be in there. If it's not, it'd be hidden in the secret service menu which I believe is still accessed by holding down the menu button. Obviously I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered but I'm sure Stable Lease can confirm if this is indeed true.
Awesome video! Can you do this for a 2018-2019 Golf R? And can you talk about how it pairs with your keys. Seat, Mirrors, Driving Setting. And does it work with your seat profile number on the side of the seat? Also hi from Australia Thanks.
Hi Dave. What are the differences between the standard nav/ unit. And the nav pro/unit. Is the £1300 worth the money. Also DCC. What does it do and is it worth the £890 etc. Sorry for so many questions. I just ordered a fully loaded R so hopping the money spent is worth it. And if not should I pull any off. Also as stated before. Maybe a vid on the wheel choices. As always great vids. Very helpful. It's a daily morning routine for me now. Coffee. Bacon/eggs. Stable lease vids. 👍🏼👍🏼
Using the dials on the right of the steering wheel. Here you can move through the menu system and make tweaks to the 'Active Info Display'. Hope this helps!
Not a great idea to put your home address into the GPS, If you ever get you bag/keys stolen they now know your address and that your not home and have your house key
If you select a gps position at the end of your street as your home, then the satnav will still get you home, but any thieves won’t know your actual address.👍

Thanks Dave & Phil. Still a useful video in 2023 👍

@@srowlandson Struggling with the same issue here as well. Did you ever figure it out?

Does it adjust the rear windows automatically or you still have it to adjust it everytime you use the car?

Great video, its actually shocking how little main dealers know about the cars they sell, I asked a similar question at my local dealership.
Thanks Mark
Does it adjust the side mirrors or do you have to adjust yourself every time
We have a 19 plate Tiguan. Can it save the wing mirror positions for each driver?
Is there a way to remove other profiles already stored in the system from a previous owner.
The easiest way would be to factory reset the system and start again.
I have just brought a 2016 Tiguan sel which seems to be fully loaded and I noticed it has white lights under the door mirrors you think it would be possible to change these lights so that it projects the vw logo or something onto the ground ?
can you change the display from miles to km?

You're welcome Ben, ah good to know about the mirrors and seats! Shame we don't get electric seats standard in the UK 😭
Mate, you read my mind when you asked this question. Cheers from a fellow Aussie.
Ben Stix hey Ben, do the seats automatically go into position or is there some way to enable this? My seats are electric but they don’t move with driver profiles.
I would love to know the answer to this as well bc I can't seem to figure it out.
Well if you're in Canada the answer is no. There has to be a memory button on the side of the seat for this function to work. Sucks.
Hello I was wondering how to change a goodbye name in a 2020 atlas sport
We don't have access to that vehicle over in the UK I'm afraid 😯
You can also program keys individually and in regards to the clock settings it works for me as I like a 24hr clock but my wife prefers not.
Re comment by Chris It may be obvious (not to me!) but how do I associate a specific profile with a key so that the profile selected on entry matches key being used to open the car and adjusts seat settings plus other profile characteristics ? Thanks Howard
Thanks Howard, we'll look in to this for a future video 👍

How do you get some of the features on your golf r 2019’ that’s not already thete like nav without Apple play and moving map to cockpit
Does the user profile link to the key that is used? Eg auto selects Phil when Key 1 is used and Dave when Key 2 is used
Hi Dave!

Hi Dave. Just recently bought a gtd from the uk and I live in ireland.
My question is, can the speed dial be changed to kph. I have the display at the bottom in kph, but the dial figures remains in mph.
Not that I am aware of I'm afraid....

I only want whoever drives to be Bluetooth connected. I have viewed and tried everything I know including driver profiles but still connects both phones. Can you help thx
So I put myself on driver1 and my wife on driver2. If we’re both in the car you put it on the driver settings you want the Bluetooth to connect to?
Thanks, just updated my new T-Roc
Question off point, sorry! Do you really need dynamic hassis control for the 18” wheels on the Passat saloon? Is it something specifically recommended for the 19”wheels?
Very informative as usual
Thanks Kevin! Great to hear. Let us know if you have any questions.
Do polo gti 1.8 Manuel have sport mode and eco
Does it work with seating positions though?
Hello! Great video. Do you know what the name of this function called? I am from Canada, and i dont know if I have this on my 2016 GTI
What are your thoughts on the latest Active Info Display on the Tiguan (it changed in 2019) compared to the older display (2016-18)?
Hi Dave
We've recently bought a 2018 Tiguan 190 R Line, with lots of toys on.
I'm struggling personalising the seating positions also which you haven't sown in this video.
Any chance of an update please?
Cheers
Andy (Rossendale, Lancs.)
We'll try to get one in soon Andy.
Hey Andrew, did you manage to figure out seat position personalisation? Having same issue in 2019 Touran...
Why when my vw is in eco mode the d is selected on the dash display but press the eco button the dash display shown is e ... why isn't this
That's great. With the Active Info Display, I see your profile is set up to read kms, where Phil's is in miles. So you can set this parameter yourself, yes?

Hello. How do you remove a profile?
Can I configure the rearview mirrors on each driver profile ?
Urm we'll check this as we're not sure
Awesome video! Can you do this for a 2018-2019 Golf R?
And can you talk about how it pairs with your keys. Seat, Mirrors, Driving Setting. And does it work with your seat profile number on the side of the seat?
Also hi from Australia
Thanks.
Yes, will be doing a video on the new Golf R asap! Thanks
how to change a goodbye name in a 2020 atlas sport
Is this the same as the 2018 gti?
Still useful in 2024, I have bought 2020 VW Tiguan recently, software did not change much😅
You able to get a VW Tiguan R-Line in to show and talk about?
Check out our channel, we have some R-Line content already, we're hoping to get one for a bit longer soon.
Thanks , now i know what to do with my facelift ;). It is so boring to read the manual..
No problem

Can I change the voice on the VW Discover Sat Nav.
Not that we're aware of. We'll look in to it for you.
4:21' I can go into active info display' but you dont show how, not much use i am afraid
Using the dials on the right of the steering wheel. Here you can move through the menu system and make tweaks to the 'Active Info Display'. Hope this helps!
Why these profiles don't include seat position memory?! That's not a feature you can skip :(
VW is great!
Not a great idea to put your home address into the GPS, If you ever get you bag/keys stolen they now know your address and that your not home and have your house key
It's an interesting point, but we know a lot of people will still use this feature.
If you select a gps position at the end of your street as your home, then the satnav will still get you home, but any thieves won’t know your actual address.👍
should have added golf8 apologies....
