Setting the favorites was my favorite tip, I’ve owned the car less than twenty four hours and won’t have any time to learn much about the car till I have some down time, thanks!

Thanks for the tips, I have only had the car 2 weeks so still learning. I like the tip about opening the driver's door.

My favorite is the windows opening for a hot day and the unlock while approaching! Very helpful video, as I just bought a 2024 Kings Red! :)

Thanks for watching!

awesome video thanks

What about "Hey volkswagen", for voice control function.

Just got my 2024 GTI, and I LOVE it!! Thank you for the tips!

Great vid. Love my 23 S. Keep it coming!

2024 GolfR DSG - Good video - Great Tips - setting Favorites (excellent reminder) overhead light gesture, heated seat actuation and holding View button to open up full screen nav are all new to me..thanks

Another hidden feature, in about 20,000 miles the "Travel Assist is Currently Unavailable" warning will randomly pop up and ding, over and over again, until VW replaces the steering wheel with a new wheel, but the best part is, the new wheel comes with the same design flaw, so it will come back again in another 20,000. Fun feature!

Seems like it was a pretty common issue in the 22 model and some 23 pretty sure they have it fixed now

Did not know about holding the view button while on the map display!

Good tips! Just bought a 2022 Golf R and I love it! My old GTI had the same feature, with opening the windows with the key fob. The new golf R does the same, but it doesn't open the moon roof. Just wondering if that has to be pre set.

You will need OBDeleven in order to do that. I highly recommend getting OBDeleven, you can unlock a lot of cool features with it.

Unlock on approach seems to break unlocking the passenger doors from the driver's door when the system is set to only unlock the driver's door. Without it on, you can tap the inside of the driver's door handle once to unlock the driver's door, and a second time to unlock the other doors. With it on, tapping the driver's door handle a second time doesn't unlock the passenger's doors. Only way to do that (from the driver's door) is to either hit the button on the fob, or open the door and hit the unlock button. I turned unlock on approach off for this reason.

Does the approach unlock work on the S and SE or just the autobahn?

Auto folding mirrors? Does my 23 Golf R 20 AE have these?

No, standard on 2024. However, you can add it yourself.

I got my Golf R 20Y in Japan last year. All aspects of the mechanical parts of the car are extremely good, ride, power and handling is fantastic. But I am extremely frustrated with the touch screen & switches. There is no reassuring feedback like mechanical switches, and they don’t work correctly sometimes due to static or when wearing gloves. There is no way of touching the right switch on 1st try when the road is bumpy. Any switches that I can reach and set within 2 secs on an analog car now takes 10 secs or more, and with substantial distraction in my driving concentration. This is a case of an excellent all round high performance driving machine with the worse driver to car interface ever !

Is there a way to have the light bar off? I dont want on with the low bean lights. Dont like the looks of it 🥹

Great Video. As an extra secret feature, if you leave your windows down in error and want to close them. Have the key fob close, and press the palm of your hand against the drivers or passenger door handle. Hold it for a few seconds and all window will close :)

The windows up or down with the unlock/lock button has been a feature of Volkswagen since the mid 1990’s.

Sweet!

Unfortunately, my 2024 VW Golf GTI 380 SE 6-speed in the new King's Red Metaliic color does not have the Light Assist for Auto High Beams 😢. However, my 2021 Audi Q5 does have that cool feature 😊!

Too much tech. I much prefer the MK5/6 GTI generation.
