T7 California welcome

T7 Ocean hybrid.
Working through user guide have realised there are a couple of questions we should have asked at handover "hayho" ‍♀️‍♀️
Have worked out how to save battery usage.
But air con in rear not coming through very cold or fast.
On the rear control panel it says its been deactivated in infotainment ? ?
Can't see/find where.??
Anyone already sussed this out please

Would be interested in this too, as I’ll be collecting a new ocean in 4 weeks hopefully

Is it a Paid for Option? If so may not be on a Stock build.
 
Hi (again)
Still going through bits & bobs.
Whilst sitting in Victor trying out the My Volkswagon app (this allows you to control system use on wifi signal via phone) & California Volkswagon Vanlife app (Bluetooth connection) the cupboard lights seemed periodically flash ? ?

There seems to be a few options that you cannot necessarily chose in the configurator.
I got one parking heating remote - it seems to have a limited range and I wouldn’t miss it if I didn’t have it.
Fly screens for the windows in the sliding doors however …… I think like many owners they haven’t appeared yet.

Try touching the remote to your forehead when pressing the button. Range increased.
 
Well that was a shock - everything from the 6.1 Ocean has gone into the T7 Ocean.
We even realised "yet again" that we'd been taking a few too many 'Just incase buts n bobs'.
Just a few things to double check on electrical side and will be going off somewhere for just a couple of nights then Oban & Inverness end of the month.

There is more storage than people think, it’s just in different places to the 6.1, and granted you do have to get a bit creative with your storage solutions
 
If we use a dashcam in hpev ocean plugging into 12v socket on dashboard - will power be taken from 12v battery or from electric side of things. ? ?
There's also a 12v in the boot.

Little confused as thought everything from front seats forward was separate from sockets in rear.
Sorry if I sound thick.

According to your Avatar information you have a T6 Ocean.

The T7 PHEV Ocean is the same base vehicle as the Multivan PHEV and the front 12v socket and USBc ports are powered by the 12 v Engine battery. I’m not sure about the rear 12v and USBc sockets as they are also present on the Multivan and powered by the engine battery.
