'Dead' Golf Infotainment(?)
Discussion
Typical isn't it? 3 years and 1 month old and just into my ownership and driving along and the infotainment system clicks and dies.
OK, I think, maybe a fuse blew - I checked them today, they seem OK, reset as suggested in some forums doesn't work, so I've got an auto electrician coming to look at it tomorrow.
The car is a 2017 Golf R 7.5 - Dash is working fine, but no Sat Nav, Audi, Phone or ability to switch modes (done via the infotainment screen) - Basically everything related to the big screen in the middle of the dash.
Has anyone else experienced sudden 'death' of their VW infotainment system and managed to resolve it?
Thanks

Found out that it's the infotainment control unit (the one in the glove box) - £1900 replacement...
VW quality at its best.
Dealer offered to knock some off themselves but VW are essentially saying "F**k Off, it's your problem" - OK, it's out of warranty, but one month on a part that gets no wear and tear and NOTHING?
Not impressed by them, to be honest - Other manufacturers have been far more customer friendly in the past.

Are you aware of this?:
Due to the circumstances created by the COVID-19 crisis, all Volkswagen manufacturer warranties* that were due to expire between 1 March and 31 May 2020, have been extended by three months.
Give you some leverage?
I wasn't, but, of course, mine expired on 5th June... Are you aware of this?:

A pretty sh*t attitude from everyone I spoke to at VW.
The local dealer, Martins, were more helpful and recoded a used unit I acquired for a total cost about a 5th what VW wanted to charge me for what transpired would have been a 'factory reconditioned' unit.
Must be something about manufacturers with V at the beginning of their names, last VAG group car I buy and I made a similar vow after owning a Vauxhall many years ago...
