Interesting, mine's due its 12 month service end of Feb, did they tell you it had a TPI on the vehicle when you booked the service or did you have to tell them to check for it?

same goes for popping it in neutral quickly, i think you used to be able to do that on VW DSGs by pulling both paddles at the same time, doesnt appear to work in the 8.5!

Here's another one, is it possible to put the 8.5 into manual mode, without actually changing gear? Obviously pulling a paddle will put it into manual mode but sometimes i want to put it into manual without it actually changing down or changing up, depending on circumstance 🤪

ahh i see! 🤦‍♂️

Yup, first time my did the emergency braking i thought id hit another car! Turns out i was miles away

The interior sound to "eco" would be different to race mode, assume that would have interior sound in "race", which does sound pretty fake at the best of times

Anyone know if it's possible to adjust the parking sensor sensitivity at all? They are so much more sensitive than my Mk7.5 Golf or my I30n, multiple times now they've engaged the auto emergency braking while I've been backing into a space, even with plenty of room behind/besides the car! Also can you adjust the volume of the "click" noise you get when pressing the haptic steering wheel buttons? The volume of the noise goes up with the volume of whatever you are listening to, so if you've had to turn up a very quiet audiobook, or something the clicks are painfully loud when doing anything on the steering wheel 😂

I'm going to borrow my mates OBD11 and i'll try and give it a scan when it happens again!

Just had mine lock out again on the way home, hadn't pressed any steering wheel buttons (or the infotainment screen) for 20+ minutes before it happened. Was driving in manual mode, driving mode in race, it denied me a down shift from M6 to M5 then switched itself immediately to S6 and wouldnt let me use the paddles any more. Pulled in and filmed another quick video showing it changing up a gear itself in sport but refusing to let me change up or down with paddles - https://photos.app.goo.gl/n9xVrE6PitfVk84s8 Will send it to my dealer shortly (they've already had a similar previous video off me) and see what they say!

Well that's me never doing a software update then...

I feel special 😂

Standard 18s for me, software version to follow...

I did also buy the official PP spoiler by itself and fit it, but theres no way the car knows that and has decided to give me Sport+ as a reward because of it 😂
