What Owners Say
"The left 1/3 of the touchscreen is always broken, the other 2/3 is intermittently broken. It doesn't respond to touch input. At other times the entire system is completely frozen and inoperable, and may (partially) work the next time you start the car. VW says that the entire headunit needs to be replaced at a cost of $2000. I plan on getting a better, updated aftermarket headunit installed at BestBuy for a fraction of the cost."
Anonymous, NY (2016 Volkswagen Tiguan SE 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The radio randomly changes channels on its own. It can do this several times on a longer trip. It is easy to get back to my preferred station, but it is very annoying. My research has found that there is no known fix for this other than a very expensive total replacement of the radio unit."

"At times, the back up camera wont work. The only way to get it to work again is to turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and start the car again. That usually works (its annoying, though!)"
