The key is an easy solution, in the grand scheme of things, plus you could always spec digital key and put the real key up the salesmans arse😂 However, in the real world my key stays in my pocket tbh and wired AA is neither or there imo. As for the reflection, I can’t see the silver bezel, rather the whole dash reflection, which is mad for sunny wales lol. Infact, it’s made me think and I’m going to pay more attention and check mine tomorrow – could it be because of the double glazing thats causing it? @Brydo have you noticed it?
The digital key doesn’t allow for driving the car remotely, which we need for charging (or i’d need to purchase a 10m charging cable which i don’t want to), needs to go in and out of our parking spot remotely because otherwise i can’t get out (too close to wall). Unlike now, the Golf has the charging port on the front left.
I just thought it was laughable, and the key of the demonstrator we drove genuinely looked like it needed replacing urgently after 10k miles, including broken remote start button.
My main issue with wireless AA (or lack thereof) is that it shows that whoever designed the thing did not think. The car has a wireless charger. The vast majority will not use that charger because the phone charges through the cable they need to use to connect AA/Carplay.
Now i need to use the only conveniently placed USB port in the front for either the dongle or the phone, rather than being able to route the dash cam conveniently/cleanly (i don’t hardwire). It’s just asinine.
As for the reflection, no idea. It could well be the double glazing – i wonder if a 10% tint would fix that issue a bit.
