If you get the Nav w/o air suspension does it display anything other than basic navigation functions. I have seen pics in the FAQ showing an inclinometer among other things. Also will the DVD based Nav play CD-Rs.
View 1 RepliesI thought I would share this with all of you. I had my T2 in for 5K service. I asked again if they could change the digital display of the speed in km/h to mph. I thought there might have been a new computer update. They spent an extra day working on just this issue. The tech even called VW and went to another T2 on the lot to try to reprogram it. No luck. So - it looks like it's official. You can't change the display to MPH on a T2 with the "plain" MFI. I am working on learning the metric system - or just reading the gauge. Still love it!
View 1 RepliesHow to pop out the front PDC display?
View 2 RepliesMy A/C dropped out, which alerted me to the temp gauge which was high, then to the "overheating" warning in the display.
I parked it to allow it to cool, then drove on with the heat cranked to shed some heat, only to have to park it again. After only a 3.5 hr wait (what a joke), VW's roadside sub-contractor showed up with a flat-bed to bring it to Rod East VW in San Antonio.
I am still waiting for their diagnosis. I did take some time this weekend to test drive a truck and look at some other vehicles, but nothing in this price range is appealing to me.
Despite the grief I go through with this thing, it's still the best value. I've got 52k miles on my loaded '04 V8.
My center display (between tach and speedometer) all of sudden went dim. Can barely read any info. Does this have a fuse or do I need to take it in for a check up...
View 6 RepliesI had my TReg in for the 5000 mile service this week. Among the laundry list of items on my punchlist for them I mentioned the compass and the fact it was going on and off and the blue light was sometimes changing from dim to brighter when the headlights are on.
The dealer indicated that VWoA has acknowledged some problems with the compass display and I'm getting a new one.
My owners manual says that when cruise is turned on there is a "cruise" symbol in the color MFI - that works as advertised. It also states that after pressing "set" at speed the set speed should also be displayed.
Do a 'set' speed display with cruise and if so do you have NAV or not. Do you have Color or Red MFI ?
What VIN series - I am 37XXX
This located near the sunroof controls. It is very hard to read during the day.
View 9 Replies"Check lights" just popped up on the display. Low beam lights appeared very weak. Hooked VAG-COM, it said that the right xenon bulb is a problem. Strangely, high beam won't even turn on!? Pulled the right headlight assembly, checked the high beam bulb - no problem. Inspected the inside of the assembly - no visible problem. The xenon bulb looked almost burnt out.
View 3 RepliesIs there anyway to enable the DVD display while driving? Dealer scan? When driving the monitor does not display due to safety.
Obviously my wife and I would not watch while driving, but we were hoping our passengers could watch a DVD on long trips, etc.
I thought I saw, somewhere, the ability for the navigation screen to display the angle of tilt (both horizontal & vertical) of the car in real-time. I'm only able to get the display of altitude and front wheel angle.
View 3 RepliesI complained about this 8 months ago and they replaced the compass display module. Then my battery died about 6 months ago and they replaced the compass control module. Now it's flickering--worse than the first time where the backlight was turning on and off. It's just the backlight that appears to be flickering.
View 11 RepliesGot a check brake light warning in the display today, I assume one on the brake lights are out and need to be changed. Is this a simple plug and play change, and are the brake lights in the tailgate or rear quarters.
View 1 RepliesI have the factory keyless entry/start. When using one of my key fobs most of the time the display will show key not found and the battery is good.
View 3 RepliesOver the weekend when starting up my '04 Treg I noticed on the dashboard display the following warning sign "WHEEL FAILURE". Does any one have a clue what that may be? Once started moving the display only showed the little circle sign that you get when the tire pressure monitor senses that one tire has lower than usual pressure. After driving for more than one hour that sign went off. This morning the same warning came on again.
View 6 RepliesI love this car, but it makes me crazy at times. Was driving home from work last night and decided to stop at a sports bar for supper. Used turn signal to indicate right turn, looked at the dash, no indicator lighted on the dash, no 'tick, tick' sound.
Looked at the mirror housing, the turn arrow was flashing. The wife and I looked things over once we got parked, front turn signal worked (right and left), mirror housing worked and rear turn signal worked, but no dash indicators. As further information, brake lights worked, too.
Decided to 'reboot' the car. Shut it off, turn it on, no indicators. Went into the sports bar. Returned two hours later. Turned on car, used turn signal to indicate as we were leaving the parking lot, everything worked just fine...
I only see highway numbers on the map display, not street names. Is this because it is a CD-based nav system and not DVD-based (my DVD nav system on my Mini Cooper S displays all street names)?
Maybe I am missing a setting?
First and foremost, I love my Touareg....when it works!!
Problem # 1 : I have had it at the VW dealership in Pensacola, FL 7 times to fix the flat tire sensor. They can't/won't fix it. Once you start the car and get rolling it will go off. It will go away and come back on several times for the first few miles. I have also noticed that after temp changes it becomes more sensitive. I have checked the manufacture's tire suggestions and they are dead on.
Problem #2 : The battery will die if the car is not driven in a day or two. I just had the battery replaced a month ago and thought that it was the issue. I have checked to make sure that I do not have any accessories plugged in and it still happens...i.e. car phone charger, ipod, radar detector.
Problem # 3 : This maybe in conjunction with problem 2. I just recognized that the information display above the steering wheel will not turn off when the car is locked and not in use. This just started and will surely drain the battery.
Problem # 4 : The navigation system comes on-line when the vehicle is started. It asks for the user to input an agreement at the beginning of each start. The navigation will no longer accept any inputs. The volume work for the radio and that's about it.
Problem # 5 : The steering wheel controls for the display will not work. When you try to page through the information display on the steering wheels right hand corner it does nothing. The rolling wheel for the radio on the steering wheel also does not work.
I have had so many problems with my ride that I am ready to light it on fire. It looks great in the driveway and that's about it. I realize that the majority of my problems are possibly connected.
I recently purchased a used 2004 VW Touareg. The previous owner must've had long fingernails, as the driver-side fan button was extremely worn. At any rate, I was able to get a new button included in the "we owe" from the car dealer.
After the local VW dealership fixed the button, the LED screen that displays the temperature setting blinks when I start up the vehicle (like 15-20 times). It's very annoying to say the least.
While driving I noticed that the compass is not working or its gone into some mode or something. It shows PM 0:15. Pressing any of the 3 buttons doesn't do anything except holding down the 2 small buttons at the same time brings the name/version of the compass software and releasing seems to reboot or refresh the display. But after that it comes back to PM 0:15. I should also say that after parking and locking the car the display keeps flashing the PM 0:15. 15 minutes later I checked same thing it is still flashing. Whats happening to my compass?
View 7 RepliesAfter about 20 minutes, all stopped. This was after we had taken an hour off from driving all day. Was this the computer just making adjustments? No errors displayed, no issue with any electronics etc. 2007 T VR6 pkg 2 no air suspension, no nav every other option.
