    What temp do you have it on?
    Do you have it set to "AUTO"?

    I personally have it set on 21 degrees (Passat) / 22 degrees (Jetta) and is fine.

    Mind you, I have driven (owned) many Japanese cars and they have icy cold A/C and generally a temp of even 24 degrees is too cold...

    Interesting you are coming from an MB Titanium.

    I have personally owned 3 MC Titanium's (TDCi and EcoBoost) as well 2 MD Titanium's (TDCi and EcoBoost) and I would say all were similar to the Passat and Jetta (and all the other VW's I have owned).

    What I would suggest if you are unhappy is to go to the dealer and get them to check the Refrigerant Levels and ensure all is ok from a "Hardware" perspective before you mess around with the "Software"...

    Auto 19.5 . Its all good if parked undercover but if out in the sun on 30c you have to put on max for like 10 minutes to make it comfy.

    I would rate the Arty as 2 gens ahead of the Ford on all counts with exception too a few things which bar one have been fixed with obd2.
    Auto high beam mem and the like. Only o/s issue is the dub not reading out my sms messages & me being able to respond with a canned option.

    I think if you're using an Android phone, the MIB system will read your text messages. It's just hidden in the phone menu and you have to go into the message and hit the txt2speach button.
