As above, I need a scan of the up with Maps & More. It would also be nice if someone could still take pictures of the pin assignment from their radio. The former would help me. lg

Moin together, about 4 weeks ago I received a letter in which VW announced a recall action of the “Leatherette” seat covers in front (the white keder seams could loosen themselves). Ok, I thought, no act, have vacation and give off the car. I save the details with my Volkswagen workshop here in the public area (fortunately by PN). After 9 (working) days I had the car back – with stains in the new cover of the passenger headrest and not quite attached to the seat, Also in the headrest area. The whole action has spoiled me the fun of VW and the UP! clearly – I have never experienced such a service chaos before – and am glad that I still have a motorcycle as well as a second car. At my written request and the reference to the defects in the implementation so far (14 days) no reaction has been made. Otherwise: I still find that the concept of the Up! is basically correct and also well implemented. I find too much fuel consumption (75 hp version) – the passenger window should be to be operated from the driver’s door (nervous more than I thought….) – the speakers and the sound (despite special package sound) are – well – max. mediocre – In the trunk lacks a lighting – trunk in the long term too small (we change the rear seat when shopping) – doors (2-door) too big I would not buy the up! again, since there are significantly cheaper vehicles, the e offer more. (we drive a Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 DID that offers a total of “more car”, consumes less and provides significantly better driving performance)

Hello together, two days ago we picked up our new Black Up in the equipment 4 doors, seat heating and just with 6 loudspeakers (Sound Pac Plus) as well as sports suspension in Wolfsburg. Since some may be before the decision of an up! purchase stands, here a few words about the last mentioned special equipment. We drove before our up two times up. Once move up (from the dealer) and once high up (rental car) each only with two loudspeakers and without sports suspension. While there The normal standard speaker system in the up with its two loudspeakers sounds more than modest, one has with the 6 loudspeakers which are bookable as an additional option an often better sound not least because of the now built-in tweeter. (2 x tweeter, 2 loudspeakers in the doors front and two speakers in the rear doors) I had initially considered replacing the loudspeakers (against Focal or similar) but am more than satisfied with the current sound. I can definitely recommend spending Euro in addition for the Sound Pac Plus! Due to the sports suspension the car is apparently richer on the road, also the steering looks a bit tighter and more direct. Also here, especially if you drive not only in the city but also sometimes country road I would recommend the investment in the sports suspension. The 220 Euro extra are well invested especially since the black and white models in D are not available as bluemotion but by the suspension that my it knowledge is identical to the BM variant is also at least partial taking on characteristics that, although small, should also affect fuel consumption. This is the first info and perhaps small decision-making aid for the future.
