Same. Although, I kind of expected it.

Weirdly enough, I can’t get my convenience windows to roll down with the remote.

Rolls up with remote just fine, can’t get them to roll down.

Maybe down is a separate feature you have to activate separately?

Here's mine, with the system info screen showing. Guess it's a 695.

I'll have to go into my settings to see what mine shows, but that's identical to what mine looks like.

Maybe a question, but does the device part number indicates what the head unit features itself. The Tiguan that I have right now is a premium HU, no Nav. Tried connecting apple car play but does not seem to work, guessing it doesn't have that.

Yeah. They each have their own options in Carista. I’ve got them both enables. Down doesn’t work, up does.

Can’t find anything on the interwebz about people having similar issues.

I’m kinda Up is more important to me if they’re down and I notice the sky getting dark. I use the down way less.

I like it overall.

It is super straightforward to use with their app.

Overall, I think it’s cheaper than OBDEleven.

It’s $29.99 for the adapter and a free month of their Pro Service.

After that it’s $39.99/yr of $9.99 for a week pass of the Pro.

You can’t reset codes, service intervals or make the customizations without Pro.

However, I had all my customizations done in the first week or so.

I’d give it a 4/7.

All I'd want it for is some customizations. I'll probably pick one up eventually since you and I think Swedish Chef have one so I'd have some free tech support if needed.

What customizations did you do? And I thought you could reset service intervals in the HU, no?

I did:
The windows up/down (with above mentioned results, so YMMV)
Changed the comfort turn flashes to 5 instead of 3
Turned off the notification about safety on the HU when you start up the car
Changed the hill assist release from normal to early, but that really had minimal results - Wish it could be disabled completely.

Not sure if I did anything else.


Service can be reset in the HU, but you can change the intervals in Carista if you want it to remind you to change the oil at 5K instead of 10K, or whatever mileages you’d like.

Got it.
Interesting about that safety notification thing. I don't believe I have that. Nor do I have hill hold assist, though my Mk6 did.
I want to do the windows up/down, turn flashes to 4, fogs on with brights, teardrop wipe for front and rear wipers, and I just noticed that when I turn the temp dial all the way counterclockwise to the coldest setting it automatically turns on the AC. I'd like to turn that off if possible. I'd rather decide when the AC comes on. And maybe turn off the soundaktor.

I don’t think soundaktor was an option that I recall in my settings, but the Jettas might not have them.

Interesting that you don’t have hill assist. It’s hella terrible on the mk7 Jettas.

It may be that GLI's are the only Jettas to have the noisemaker.

I've tried to notice hill assist on roads where it kicked in on my Mk6 and I just haven't noticed it yet. Don't really see a need for it with DSG anyway.

Oh. That’s right. I forgot yours isn’t a

The Jetta is and it really tries hard to let you not roll back, but as a consequence, it’s hard to get the hold to release when you know what you’re doing.

I always thought it was odd to have had it on my DSG Mk6, and I'm surprised you can't turn it off, or dial it down, on your Jetta.

It really saves wear and tear on tranny from drivers. The whole missing tq converter and people generally having no clue or mechanical empathy helps.

So I guess this is a Mk7 thing then? I kept hill hold off in both my R's because it's incredibly sticky. I also find it odd that it would hold you even on a decline.

Never had an issue with it in my Mk6 though. Brakes seemed to release at the right time.

Just get one of those big ass ball compasses and screw it to your dash. Stop whining. Start doing.
