Hi,

When I plug in the cable to my phone, for at least a minute or so, sometimes longer, nothing at all happens. This can feel like forever if you've jumped in to drive away and are wanting to use it for something. Eventually the screen comes up saying its identified the phone and then it works faultlessly. On other cars when I do this its near-instant.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an update to fix it? My late 2017 GTi hasn't been back to a VW dealer since it was delivered, so won't have received any.

Thanks

Been a while since I used Android Auto on the MIB, but I don't remember it being super snappy. Probably normal.
