I got the code. One of the service center asked for an email. I sent them with RC copy, serial key etc but then they refused to give me the info saying security concerns and asked me to come in person. Other service center gave me the code just by a simple call.

I am facing a different issue now. The AC is not cooling properly. Its cooling is varying from coolest to no ac at all while I drive. Any clues ?

Can you post some pics of the system ?

Final on road price was Rs. 19,80,000 ish.
The ride quality is amazing. Only quirk I have till date is the hill hold and how it makes you stall. Have to get used to it.

Also, does anyone know how to unlock voice commands and app connect?

If the cooling is changing automatically then get it checked, Surely isn't normal.

There are 3 settings for hill hold which you can set via VCD's, 1st is Early, 2nd is Medium ( Which i think is the default one), 3rd setting is late, I tried all 3 of them and eventually kept it at the default value, Give it a shot you might like the 3rd setting.

Quite possible that the filter is clogged if it is 9 months to 1 year after service. My Jetta is now pathetic. Same thing happened last year before I was to set off on a drive to Pune. VW cleaned the filter. This worked. Came back, got it serviced and drove to Kerala where it was fine

It might also be an electro-mechanical valve that's fitted on the compressor. Our Jetta was also facing a similar problem. The cooling used to pick up only after I revved the car to a certain RPM.

Took it to the service centre and they immediately said it might be this valve and if not, the compressor. They replaced this valve and flushed the system. The AC is working fine now. There was another Jetta in the service station at that time with the same issue. Seems there are a lot of complaints with regards to this valve.

The simplest explanation is rat bite on your o2 sensor. The sensor is right inside the front grill and visible and reachable via hand. Check if the wires are intact before it leads you to bigger compressor problems.

Congratulations !! I would suggest you put the transparent protective strips around the outer edges of the car and orvm , till you get used to the dimensions of the car

Thank you for the suggestion. However, I am used to the dimensions and the parking sensors are a boon in keeping the driver alert.

Have a couple queries.
How do I ensure kerb view works?
How do I ensure that the party trick where the brake light stays on when the indicator is switched on works?

Apologize for the blunt reply here. This information is available all over the Web. Its a specific sequence of action when it comes to your second question which is also discussed in detail here.

For kerb view - I think you meant the mirror going down when you put your car to reverse. This is existing functionality.

Kerb View is definitely not a existing functionality in my 2015 Jetta CL.

What is the term which I should search for on the web? I couldn't get any concrete results with any search term I used.

Also as per my brochure, kerb view is part of the 2015 CL. Is it not? When I engage reverse gear I expected the mirrors to turn slightly to face a bit down. But nothing happens. I remember that it happened when I did the PDI at the yard, but nothing now. Was wondering if I screwed up any setting.
There is a "Mirror down" setting on the MFD, which I have selected.

You need to set the position of the mirror for reverse gear. Follow this procedure.

1. While in neutral, set the mirror adjust knob to "L"
2. Adjust the left mirror for the desired position during normal drive
3. Engage reverse gear
4. Now adjust the left mirror to show the kerb

Once the above setting is done, when you engage forward gear and drive, when the car reaches 15kph, you can notice the mirror moving up to normal position. When you engage reverse gear, the mirror will move down showing the kerb.
graaja is online now   (4) Thanks

Thats a surprise. I definitely think this is a standard feature for all versions but i may be wrong. This was sold as part of convenience package earlier.

Try the method suggested by Graaja to eliminate.
