A common issue with the latest models of the Volkswagen Golf 8 is the crash of the touchscreen controls on the infotainment display. The touchscreen will not respond to commands for the air conditioning, settings, radio, and many other functions that Volkswagen offers with its latest Golf model.

To resolve this issue, sit in the car and turn on the display by pressing the last button on the left under the screen. When trying to tap the screen with the unresponsive touch, press the ON/OFF button again, but this time hold it for a few seconds.

A window will now appear on the display asking if you want to reset it. Confirm the operation, and the touchscreen will function. Contact Volkswagen customer service if the problem persists.
