Hi it's Dave at Stable Vehicle Contracts, I hope you're doing ok.
So recently one of our viewers asked us how to use the sat nav system or Discover Navigation
in their Golf R. So as always if you ask, we'll do our best
to answer.
We're going to do a very quick a video talking you through a few of the main features on
the navigation system on the Golf R. Also applies to the whole VW range so GTD,
Tiguan, so on and so forth, it covers pretty much the entire VW range.
So first up we're going to show you how to search for a destination, the most popular
way of doing that is via, and to get the most accurate placement is via your post code.
So I'll show you how to do that now.
So firstly we need to select the navigation setting and then we're gonna go to New Destination.
Now from here you can put in street name, town and so on but I find the easiest way
to do it, to get the most accurate placement is via your post code.
Now one of the things that catches most people out is that you need to put a space in between
the numbers, and that's it, it's gonna find the destination and then we can just start
by pressing the start button.
So now I'm gonna dig into a couple of other little functional things which not many people
know about or use but we find quite helpful.
The first one is the destination settings so probably one of the most helpful one is
your home address, so you can programme in your home address into the vehicle so then
if you are obviously somewhere that's not at home and you want to get back home, rather
than having to do what I've just done, searching with your post code you simply just go into
your destinations setting and pressing home and then it's gonna straight back home.
So to set the home address, we simply go to the destination setting, select Home Address
and if it's the first time you've done this, there's one of two ways you can either do
it, you can either use the current location or select address setting and then type in
your address and then store.
I'm now away from home and I want to get back home, all I do is go to destinations, press
home address and then select which route option I want to take, it's that easy.
So we've added our home address and we know how to do that but if you also have other
addresses that you regularly go to, so for example your home or to parent's house or
whatever you can also add in other destinations again to save you time everytime you wish
to go to that destination you're not having to do an address search.
So you go to my destinations, and then when you're at that address simply select Store
current position, you can rename that to whatever you want and then to find that you simply
go back to my destinations, select destinations and there we've got Work that we've just put
in, we can select that and the navigation will start for us.
So one of the cool things about this Golf R is that it's got Active Info Display so
one of the main features is we can actually view the sat nav in this centre console here
and not down on the media display there.
So to switch from showing the navigation on the main screen to this centre console is
very easy.
All you do is select the map button there which you can see has a little arrow there,
is kind of switching.
Simply select that and one thing you need to make sure you do is you need to switch
the pains here through to the navigation and then we're gonna get the sat nav showing up
in the centre console which is once you get used to it, is just a much easier way of using
the navigation system.
It does take a little bit of getting used to but it's well worth trying it.
So that was a brief guide on how to use the navigation system in a Golf R.
If you've got any other questions like this please use the comments section to ask and
we'll do our best to create a video around that.
So thank you very much for watching, I hope you've enjoyed the video if you have don't
