I've joind the Mk IV group this morning with a Grey 1.5 Hatch with both the options I wanted - rear wiper and heated front screen. Ordered a fortnight ago, and it happened to be in stock. Now learning about all the great advances (?) since my 2016 MkIII! First challenge is understanding how the car reacts to the 60GB of music on my USB memory stick and how bast I organise it.

I fear you may be disappointed with usb playback on the mk4. The software is really bad. Playlists don’t work in that it will play from a list ok but as soon as you turn off the ignition the car forgets you were playing from a playlist. When you restart the system just selects a seemingly random track from any connected phone or from the first folder on the usb stick.

It will remember if your were playing an album from the usb stick and continue from where it left off.

The media playback software is very poor, far worse than previous models. Such a basic problem that I’ve not experienced in any other car. It’s THE most annoying aspect of the mk4 for me😕

As a new owner,,,,, next week does it play nicely from my phone and CarPlay?
