    Traffic monitor on GPS

    I have the traffic info as well and in Canada. It is broadcasted in the radio signal from most radio stations along with the RDS information. You will see TMC (traffic message channel) displayed on the stations that broadcast it. I was initially surprised by it as well.

    2017 E-Golf 'vibration/rumbling' issues at Highway speeds

    No issues at that speed with mine. 401/400 driving. A quick Google search showed a lot of threads on vibration issues with the MK7 at speed. Have them check the wheel bearings.

    Is there a way to see battery percentage or charge rates?

    How? Those numbers are just being overlayed on top of the time lapse of charging the car.

    Round trip Toronto to Blue Mountain possible?

    The issue isn't AC vs DC, its actually higher voltage. High voltage charging is more complicated then lower voltage AC charging. The load and heat it places on the battery causes degradation of the cells. As well, DC fast charging is safer on larger battery arrays (like Tesla) that can absorb...

    2017/18 e-golf - WiFi question

    Yes, the pre-heating and timing is done in the car via the e-manager. As for the 2 features you mentioned. The VW Media Control is an app (for phone or tablet) that allows passengers to control the infotainment system. I haven't tried it as it doesn't really pertain to me. The hotspot feature I...

    2017/18 e-golf - WiFi question

    Are you in the US or Canada? In Canada, since there isn't Car-Net, tethering via a cell phone or hotspot doesn't do anything for those services. The only "value" I have found so far in connecting to a Wi-Fi network is to enable the Discover Pro (MIB3) to use this as a source to play music...

    Residual values on 2017 SEL's for those that have leased.

    Not sure if this is relevant cross border... However VW Credit Canada pegged a 12,000km (7,500 miles) 36 month at 45%. I went with 16,000km which dropped it to 44%.

    egolf with DAP available for test drive in GTA?

    My experience at Yorkdale was the exact opposite. The salesmen was very knowledgeable and let me drive their demo which was a black car (cloth, no options) plated with a VW EGOLF license plate. I tried very hard for them to sell me this car in the summer and wouldn't budge as they wanted to keep...

    Just an update... Wipers - To get the wipers into the service position you need to do the following.... Turn car off, turn car on, turn car off quickly. Pull wiper stalk down. The wipers will then go all the way to top of the sweep. Pull the wiper stalk down again for them to return to the rest...

    Winter driving impressions - First snow

    When I was researching the car I didn't find a ton of info about winter driving so I thought I would add my first impressions. We had our first snowfall of the year yesterday so I had the opportunity to check a few things out. Tires - The standard all-season low rolling resistance tires are not...
