I believe that “convenience indicating” is the feature that activates the turn signal 3x when you tap the turn signal stalk. Essentially “tap to pass” signaling. With OBD 11 you can change the number of times the turn signal flashes when you tap the stalk. I’ve got mine set to 4 “blinks”.
Tap to pass? I just use it for changing lanes. I always make sure I have enough room so I usually tap the indicator and move over after 3 blinks. The only time I need to leave the blinker on is turns where I might have to wait or congested traffic situations.
This video was super helpful. I knew there was a way to close windows with the lock button. My friend with a TDI still has a keyhole on his door and he was showing me on his older car
I picked up my 2016 GTI dsg a few days ago. I've noticed when its up to Temp, when it's in neutral or when I get home and turn engine off theres a humming noise for a few mins. Sounds like the fans but I was told all gti's do this because they have mini fans etc in the engine for oil cooling etc. have you heard this too?
Did not know about the two positions for the floor of the trunk area. Also never noticed the little storage cubby by the left knee. In my defense, only had the car about 6 weeks. Anyway, thanks much for the good content.
The Golf R didn't have access to the center console due to it having a driveshaft for the rear wheels, it was some sort of rule that I believe they have fixed in newer models I believe.
Love your storage examples! This is good for storing emergency poop paper, AND WEED! oh btw the glove box has AC, cause you know, you gotta keep them snacks cool! 😆
Just got my 2016 GTI Autobahn+Performance pack in white yesterday. 25k miles and the shit is loaded tinted windows, mud flaps, fender subwoofer, etc. I'm loving it so far and I'm legitimately looking forward to waking up tomorrow and driving it to my college to get some shit done tomorrow. Only "downside" is I won't be able to drive it while at boot camp.
Yo bro for the trunk of you want the badge to not yank off then get an automatic hatch pump kit so you not have to pull it. You just pull the badge once and it pops open. You’ll never have that feeling again
DSG have kickdown on the accelerator, push the peddle down until it resists, push past that and the peddle with click and kick the gear down some gears for a hard acceleration.
I've noticed in my GTI, in manual mode, It downshifts nicer when im not on the gas. If I'm on the gas and downshift it takes a second or 2 to do it and then kinda jerks when it grabs. When not on the gas, it downshifts immediately with no jerk. Odd
not odd, the dsg pre selects a gear depending on your brake/accelerator activity. for example, if your accelerating in 2nd your trans will pre select 3rd as it expects you to upshift. samething for the brake pedal, when braking your trans will pre select the next lowest gear. hope this helps
@wipp yeah I've had plenty of time to figure that out 🤣 solid 30k miles since that comment Just he said something different, he said when on gas it expects a downshift, mightve just mixed up the wording
PRO TIP - when your driving around in full auto and shift gears manually and it stays in manual for 30 seconds or whatever, if you hold up-shift on paddle shifter for a second or two it will put it back in full auto if you dont feel like waiting the 30 seconds.
Lucas! Lucas, Lucas....You know that the "II" after OBDII are Roman numerals right? It's not OBD Eleven :-) is OBD Two....dude you crack me up big time. You are explaining features that are typically covered during delivery - but, if this is for the person that buys a GTI from an individual and not a reputable dealer, then meh..... My recommendation is really not to buy any model/type of vehicle that is "sporty" in nature used. If it was so great, then think: "why did the other person get rid of it?"
I have a 2014 VW GTI MK7 and I don´t have neither the performance monitor nor the mode selection :( Am I able to upgrade the entertainment system with a software or something like that or do I need a different system ?
1.) i’m so glad gtis have a ton of weeds/marijuanas containers everywhere 2.) have u tried storing the trunk lid thingy underneath the trunk where the spare tire is? apparently there’s a diagram underneath the lid saying u can but i’m an idiot and don’t know how 3.) i also heard DSG models have launch control. holding down the traction control for more than 3 seconds to fully take it off, foot on the brake and rev it up to 3k there should be a pop up on the dash saying launch control is activated but i never got it to show up :( have you tried it? mine is a 2017
Make sure it's in sport mode and traction says esc sport when you hold traction. Left foot on the brake right foot pins it. It should hold at 3200 rpms and just let off the brake. Manuals are more fun tho.
About the ESC button when you hold it, it does say "turned off" but some people have said it only turns it off 80% or something like that and you'd have to code it to turn it off 100%. That's just what I heard and ended up turning it off using an OBDeleven. For DSG, yeah there is launch control. my 2016 doesn't show "launch activated" but in the manual it says, left foot on brake, right foot to 3k rpm and send it.
@@LucasHuang can confirm that esc is a power robber, you have to turn asc and esc off via obd11. Felt it bigtime after changing the coding. Ill try to find where i saved the instructions.
It's a fun car I got one but it's not a performance car once it hits 100 the car is no faster then a civic or a pt cruiser maybe when you spend the money to get it unlocked the car might be better
ARentz07 I’ve found it to intervene with the rear brakes a bit too much. Sometimes I do want a little bit of rotation on turn-in, that I can balance with some throttle at the apex. It’s most apparent in the wet, I’ve had times were I’ve planned my entry to the corner and the car just goes haywire, seemingly braking itself at different wheels all over the place, and I just get this awkward understeer slide.

Also you can store the privacy cover for the trunk in the second level under the trunk floor.
I always come back to this vid as motivation for what im saving for

Learned a lot on this video and where to store some herbs!
GTIs have plenty of space for oregano lmao

This guy is super funny lol good video dude
That second level in the trunk actually conceals my toolbox and my emergency kit to give the illusion my trunk is empty :)
It accommodates my Helix subwoofer AND my spare tire (once I took the feet off the subwoofer).

@@LucasHuang I got pretty emotional letting the MK6 go lol.
throw a tune on that!
Have the same exact GTI love the performance brakes....you still have yours?
how you changed the color of lines from Blue (deafult) to yellow'ish on MIB
My 2019 gti golf s doesn’t have the sport page .. WTF
Did you find it?
"i get stuck in traffic sometimes and i need to take a shit in my car" shit had me dead bro

it always goes to the lowest gear possible, even in manual mode... not so nice if you dont expect it and the car suddenly downshifts to 6k rpm
My 15 autobahn dont have the driver seat compartment because of the 12 way power seat i guess.
Also, the upper part of the trunk can be stored below the flap thing
Donut Media hire this man to review cars pleeeeaaassseeee
lol bruh i wishhhhh
i have a vw golf mk7 gti performance 2016 and i dont have the sport menu
Also if you are already on sport mode and hit "Car" on the infotainment system it defaults to "Sport" gauges
Nice video, i didn’t even know the truck cover can be placed lower!
This was honestly such a good in Seth video damn you did a good job here bro
I have a '17, apparently a different glove compartment door. Mine's all plastic yours have like velvet lining.
Dropping a like for the self roast intro.
Man, wouldn't trade my manual transmission for the world. Getting a short shifter in the mail today!
Duuuuual clutch + launch control i love it
Bang gears, not bros 😅
Mib1 unit or mib2 unit in car?
So many compartments for the weed , legit car 😂👌
And Glock😜
Police dog will sniff those hidden stashes out bruh. 😂
Hey lucas, this version of the gti does not have park assist? or which version is the one that has it

I drive a manuall gti any suggestions on good handeling mods and maybe performance mods?
Dude which car dealership do you work at. Doh must be at the volks dealership.
If an MK7 GTI does not have a 'mode' button next to the gear lever, is there no DCC on it? Or can DCC also be reached via the touchscreen?
It means it's not a GTI bruh
The under the seat compartment is where the anti-robbery device resides
Cool video bro!
Loving your ducking videos man👍😎🔥

Good tip!
MK7.5 GTI (Base) does not have the performance monitor :/
Heard a rumor where you can go to a dealership and have them activate it. But just a rumor and probably not worth the trouble tbh
@@LucasHuang
can you do it aftermarket ?
What dealership is it ?
Odd 7 base has it. I’ve heard the same about dealerships coding performance screen
LOL dude great video.
Is your gti reliable?
Definitely putting my weed under my seat👀
Dude im so glad you showed that you can turn the rear wiper off in reverse! Eventually deleting mine but rn its fucking up my sticker spine lol praise
Genius representation.
For a minute i thought Doug Demuro released a new video
Love how many coins fit in this car 😂
FINALLY, someone that mentioned how to use the media system for sd cards i had no clue where it was.
This is nice I never know the GTI was so cool. My 2013 GLI doesn’t do any of this stuff. Can you adjust the air freshener to?
Bro its wrong
Not preferred to downshift while giving gas.
Dsg asume ur giving gas to accelerate and need to go for higher gear
I love the color of your VW emblem on the trunk! How’d you do that?

Really considering an Mk 7.5 interior is super dope realistically how reliable are they i hear you get allot of check engine lights
Lol that’s basically a meme. Take it as you’d take the mustang running into the crowds meme
Lucas Huang 😂😂😂 car scene is something else. question can you get the s model with sun roof or is that only for se?
Check engine lights are a way of life lol
No boost perf. gauges in the 2021 Mk7.5. No bueno.
I know right. I have a 2021 GTI SE and I don't have the performance gauge smh
Had a recall this year for it on all MK7.5 and they installed it on my 2021. Hope you got it 👌🏼
@ 8:58 what the actual fuck. Thats great. Droppin knowledge.
"if you want people to know you're serious and about it" - understand that horsepower is not measured in Kw.

Lmao didn’t know I had that secret compartment thanks bro
bro that’s the oil temperature not water 😭😭
There are two separate gauges, one is for oil, and the other is water. There's also a water temp gauge in the gauge cluster.

Another lmao episode. Great job
Stupid to keep ESC off
I turn it off at all times, except when it's raining. I find it to be way too intrusive and bogs the engine down when I'm trying to accelerate hard.
@@michaeleverson3801 With ASR off, I'd think it would be less intrusive. What's the advantage of totally turning ESC off?
