Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to activate the display options on the dashboard of the Volkswagen Golf VIII. In fact, on this model, it is possible to decide whether to display the speedometer and the tachometer or not, as they are digital instruments.

On the control panel located on the right side of the steering wheel, we have a button called "view", and by pressing it, we can change the display in front of the driver.

We can display the navigation system, or display the speedometer and tachometer, or remove everything, even though this may seem strange at first. So, if you think something went wrong due to a failed software update, don't worry.

You may have pressed the wrong button.
