Gosh... the only thing so far to get me using *&$££$ langauge in the car is the CD shuttle in the Bolero. Good god it is slow!!!!!!!!!!! It takes an eternity to go from one CD to the next and hell did they manage to hide the buttons to do that well!!! On the move you have to take your eyes of the road for about half an hour to find all the buttons to press to just go from CD 1 to CD 2! And intuative these commands are not in the least - I have to figure them out every time it seems. On my A2 there were six buttons with commands above them that changed relative to what function you were in. When you had a CD playing the two left buttons read CD- and CD+. One press and within seconds the machine had changed the CD and it was playing. Not on the Bolero. Oh no. After said half an hour of button pressing it whirrs and whirrs and makes little noises for what feels like another half an hour before it decides that well yes, maybe it will start to play the next CD.... Grrr.

Agreed

It might even be better to insert one CD, then hoik it out and put another one in, just as if you'd only got a single CD player!

I recall a 10 CD multichanger in a VW years ago on which you could choose "random" and it would go randoming throughout all 120 available tracks.

And this is why I tend to use the iPod through a wire, set to be unpredictable!

I tend to just use the SD card or stream via Bluetooth from my iPhone (and the BT Audio button on the Bolero). The CDs will just remain the same six for a long, long time I think!

Totally agree, I think I will be going down the SD card route. Also not that impressed with the sound quality, kind of hard and brittle. May need further tweeking though, we shall see.

Still loving the rear parking radar, initial thoughts were 'Pah, I am a great parker not needed' not anymore, dead useful.

Agreed, but I find it's quite conservative and goes into the "red zone" a wee bit early for my taste. I have front and rear parking sensors and my garage configuration requires tight parking in a tandem (as opposed to side by side) formation. I have to drive forward at least another 12 inches beyond the indicated red point to be actually close to the wall in front of me. I don't suppose the range of the sensor is an adjustable option is it?

BTW, +1 for the SD card option over CDs. With 32GB cards, one card can hold several hundred times more tracks that a single conventional audio CD.
