Electrical problems with Mk4 ??
Discussion
Nothing major with mine - sometimes takes a couple of minutes to get the nav, music, bluetooth and everything up and running on start up.
The first week of having it the sat nav got confused about the speed limit for a journey home and told us we should have been doing 30 the whole time, but that sorted itself out.

Anyone noticed a random buzz through the speakers? I have heard it when the radio is on and when playing via USB and even heard it when the sound is muted, lasts about 1 second and appears to happen randomly. Sounds like it could be interference of some kind but I am no expert on electrical stuff. The sound is quite a low frequency type buzz.

Took me a while to work that out, but it's the lane departure system. I changed it to the high pitched beep instead which is still annoying but not unnerving!snotrag said:
When I took one out for a few hours the salesman was very keen to get me to turn that feature off as he reckoned it was so annoying!
It's bloody awful. Why they made it a standard feature I'll never know. When pushing on on a county road (what the bloody car is built for) and you cross the white line it goes off - genuinely distracting.Problem is, if I turn it off then a bright orange lights stays on on the dash which is worse!

Thanks. Didn't even know I had that 
I really should spend some time reading the manual! Was about to ring the dealer about the iffy stereo that needs sorting 
It doesn't really bother me. Only on stretches of the M25 where they've changed the lanes and the system picks up the old ones so thinks you're off course when you're not.
Even then it's the work of moments to switch it off for a couple of minutes and back on again. The light on the dash is not that distracting at all - how do you drive at night with the really annoying light on your dash telling you your headlights are on?
