This might be silly question and i might be doing something wrong.

1.) When I currently get in the car at night, its really dark in there car and i cant hardly see anything. Normally in a car the lights internally come on until you start the engine. The Abient lighting is on but still that's not bright enough. Am i being silly here, have i not turned something on etc?

2.) When i get home, i turn the engine off and get out my car but the the lights extrernally don't stay on for 20 seconds i requested in the settings. The lights come on when I unlock the car when im going to the car but not when I leave the car. Am I doing something wrong here too?

Read the manual, its a bit wordy, but my understanding of it was, on entry it turns the lights on when you unlock, coming home you have to flash the main beam before leaving for them to come on. I think.....

If you have auto-lights which I do have on my Mk1 then the light come on when I unlock the car and stay on when i lock the car (times adjustable in the dash display).

Never needed to flash the main beam.

Sometimes coming home needs a double unlock if not 100% dark.

I can check this out Wednesday when I pickup my SE MK2

To avoid any confusion, here's the relevant section from the online manual:

I really don't see why it would be any different in the MK2 compared to the MK1. It's dark and I unlock the car, the lights come on for the set period of 20s. After driving I lock the car when dark and the lights stay on for the set period of 20s. In fact my fogs are coded and not the headlights. No stalk twitching.

Maybe it will need automating using VCDS. http://www.mytiguan.com/index.php?/topic/38857-coming-home-lights-not-working/?p=432097

Regarding your point 1, I seem to have the same issue. Can someone tell me where the roof lighting is? If I enter the light menu and touch the rear view mirror icon, a slider appears but no lights are lit in the cabin? And the slider seems to do nothing.

Is there another setting somewhere I need to change?

Have you tried messing with the physical buttons next to each light? (Guessing this as I don't have my Tig yet)

Do you mean the lights above the rear doors?

I had noticed the same issue with ambient being on, but not the interior lights.

I think what we're looking for is the switch on the roof that looks like a car with the door open. When on, this makes the internal "courtesy" lights behave like other cars.

Ah, I never noticed that either when we had ours and I thought the same .
