Title: Midline or Highline
Post by: JVS on August 13, 2009, 03:06:32 pm: Please could someone let me know the differences between midline and highline computer systems?

I've had my first MkV GTI (first VW) for only a month so I'm a complete novice with these things.

My Golf has a MFSW with the paddles for the DSG but no sat nav.

Is there an easy way to tell which one I've got?

TIA

Jim

It has less functionality.

I'll have to look this evening. I cannot remember there being a line so hopefully it may be the highline.

I presume the line you mention is in the display graphics rather than a solid thing.

I concur...
