Hey all,
I'm new to the MK7 and VW community with a recent purchase of a used 2015 SEL with 36500 miles on it. Got some questions that I'm hoping someone with experience in here can help with.
Welcome!
What are the required services for this vehicle? The dealer said something about a 40k mile service checkup.
All service intervals and items are in the manual. VW recommends 10k service visits. 40K is a big one.
Has anyone had any problems with the starter on these cars? I recently had an issue where the car didn't start after it not being started in 5 days. Autozone did a battery check and found an error with the starter. (alternator and battery is fine)
Can't say I've heard anything regarding this. Did you get an error code printout from Autozone?
Is there a way to see the tire pressure that the car was is set at and a real-time monitoring of the actual tire pressure?
Negative. Tire pressure monitoring is done via the ABS. Use a gauge, fill up the tires to the required PSI and press the button in your glovebox to set the pressure to the computer.
I have a Discovery Media Pro Gen 1:
Part number 5G0035876
Hardware:014
Software:0645
Can it be updated to a newer version of Apple Play?
Negative. A full retrofit must be done with a MIB2 screen, brain box, and a lot of expensive coding changes. You can search for the thread where one forum user did it, it was very expensive.
