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.??

Petrol phew.
Are they supposed to come with remote for parking heater ?
We didn't get one.
Van was from stock build.

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 ? ?

Yes it should come with remote for the heater on an Ocean. It did with mine.

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
