    Great, thanks for letting me know.

    I guess it is ok to just drive it when it arrives next week.

    Thought I'd share some information and pictures of my 2016 (MY17) VW Golf GTI 40 Years.
    Bought this on 18th December 2019 from Glenn Reid (Product Manager VGA). It was his personal car but decided to sell to fund some house renovations.
    It is a 6 Speed Manual and had 5,950klms on it in 3 years of ownership and had just had it's 45,000 3 year Service & as VGA had not "Retailed" it the warranty was valid up to 16th February 2020.
    It has the Panoramic Sunroof and VGA wanted to test the DAB+ radio within Australia so Glenn paid for this to be installed. He also added Dynablink Smoke Coloured Cascading blinkers to the external mirrors + a HG Motorsport HF Series3 Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake with Pipercross Cotton Filter + Racingline R600 Turbo Muffler Delete + Racingline R600 High Flow Turbo Inlet + GFB DVX Blow Off Valve with Volume Adjuster. Also supplied was a 3 Piece Lower Front Diffuser (as these are prone to damage because of the lower stance on the road. We can't forget the Lakin Custom Number Plate Mounting Brackets for Euro Style Plates.
    Thoroughly enjoy it after owning Air Cooled VW's over the past 50 years.

    Nice pickup there. Interesting mods for a VW exec.

    How the heck did he do the DAB? Not that I use the radio much, too many options already to play music, but would be good to know how to do it.

    Was surprised also as to the mods - my preference would have been for a Racingline R600 Cold Air Intake over the HG Motorsport ..... am contemplating actually do the switch and selling the HG one. Mods pull a bit more performance & with the BoV having adjustable volume (you can see the lever in the 5th pic - it's a small silver tab/lever about middle of the pic) which I've set to quiet but have opened it up a couple of times.

    As for the DAB because of his position and with support from higher up they (VGA) got Head Office to do the special build so they could get an appraisal live and decide if it was something to include on future vehicles. Test was inconclusive but I don't mind it with option of different stations .... listen to the radio a fair bit and also have all the CD's ripped to USB which come across great.

    After the 900klm trip home he's been a cruiser when the weather is fine and about 9,000 klm on him now. Still to do some drives on the mountain B roads but that's a time thing.

    I guess that proves it's possible in our spec cars, though I'm not sure if it's a completely new system or a software flash.

    I just know they get called out on it in many car reviews.

    Did enquire if any software flash had been undertaken but answer NO.
    Had service under warranty @ VW Dealer Service so expect software check as per service schedule was done.
    I got it Serviced in Nov'20 as scheduled for 60,000klm/4 year (had 8,852klm on the clock) and all seems fine with it.

    Hi Ale, I've been looking at the infotainment units and I'm wondering if they installed a MIB unit from overseas into your car as they do come with DAB overseas. Not sure if they will work in our cars if we bought one, but surely VW can get it going if anyone can.
