On my wife's Golf Mk8 there is a "Shop" where you can buy additional features - for instance she could upgrade the interior lighting package and add High Beam Assist. You can have the features fro 1 month for free after which you have to pay for them Apparenetly the wiring is alreadyin place for the heated seats so would anticipate that could be something that could be activated in the future. I think this is the way things will go. It is far cheaper to build all cars the same and then use software to activate and deactivate features as requested by the owner. In the past this was not really possible because physical switches were needed. Now with touch screens the switches can be added when required. On my A6 I have already added via Kufatec High Beam Assist (at about half the price VW want to charge for this on the golf!) and Road Sign recognition. In the future I could see dimming of exterior mirrors, the extended LED Interior Lighting, heated steering wheel being offered as well as Park Assist and HD Matrix headlights as mentioned on the website link

thanks for that, It all looks promising. I think you are right it is the way to go and much cheaper.. I heard tesla deactivated all the great options on there second hand cars which is a bit mean. I want the snazzy light show on the rear lights when you lock/ unlock :-)

Have you looked at the OBDeleven device, it does much of this.

There is a C8 forum at OBDeleven that someone listed out many of the changes you can make with the OBDeleven device.
