Hi,
A quick post to introduce myself.
I took delivery yesterday of my Makena Turquoise Tour with heat pump, and am very happy (MY22 it appears, as I have Area View happily).
I’ve been lurking for a while awaiting delivery, and reading a lot of useful information from this forum, for which I thank all the various contributors.
I hope to learn more as time goes by, and even try and contribute myself, once I learn the car a little more.
Meantime, I intend to add to the 50 miles I’ve so far done.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
One of the questions being asked about the MY22 Max and Tour is does it have memory seats?

Enjoy your new Tour.

Mine doesn’t AFAIK.
Certainly no buttons, that I can see, by the massage one.
I will let everyone know if I discover any.

Thanks for that.
Do you happen to know which week your Tour was built?

Hooray! Excited for you and glad you’re liking it so far.

Is the Area View like the ID4 where it has side camera views as well? Can you tap on the different cameras?

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, Area View was always in the tour - it's referenced in this thread https://www.speakev.com/threads/5-seate ... tf.157308/

Have you noticed any other differences?

Is it definitely Area View ? Ie does it have a "top-down/birds-eye" view and cameras at front/both door mirrors/rear ? Or is it just the rear-only "wide-angle" view that some on the internet think is "Area View", but isn't ?

(No memory on seats ? Bah @ VW!)

Perfect, thank-you so much ! Definitely Area View with the 360 degree cameras there.

I'm going to send some brickbats to VW UK now, because clearly the memory seats aren't being fitted when the brochure says they are. I'm not surprised by this error on their part, but my hopes have been dashed and I'm going to have a moan at them :-)

It depends on when the OP's vehicle was built, as mentioned earlier in the thread metcast recalls the Tour always having area view and if that's the case and if the OP's was built around week 27 or before it may well have missed what the 1st July price/speclist is stating.
This why earlier I asked the OP if they knew which week there Tour was built.

I'm still going to give VW UK a broadside regardless, I feel they're probably overdue one anyway :-D

I tried 3 years ago but they really think they are above it all. Dieselgate I belive has only hit them financially as they seem to keep selling cars without any problem. That is when they have the parts to build them.

That’s really nice :D. Shame about memory seats…

Someone pointed out that the VW used to call it Area View even with just reverse camera being able to switch between wide angle and normal. Is this true?

Not as far as I can tell. VW have "Area View" videos on YouTube etc going back nearly a decade that are all multi-camera systems with birds-eye views.

"The Internet" decided that because VW erroneously claimed Area View was installed when it wasn't on the ID.3, the wide-angle rear camera view must be Area View, when it wasn't. And because "The Internet" is never wrong, it stuck.

I have found a form in the car which, amongst a lot of other information in german, references my VIN and a build date of 28th July 2021, if that helps. Build week 30?

That sounds about right. So as its late July it looks as if the memory seat is a non starter as it was first printed in the 1st July price/spec list.

Sadly I have come to the same conclusion.

Yes that is true it’s on my spec sheet for my max but it is only the wide angle and normal
But it is now called the same but has 360 view I’ve asked my dealers if it can be retro fitted just waiting for answer
