Hello all!<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">Thought I'd introduce myself having already browsed these forums for the past few weeks while I was looking into getting an Up!
<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">We were lucky to find a nearly new Groove Up in the colour we wanted around 100 miles down the road after hearing they'd been discontinued and our order for a new one had fallen through.
<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">So hello all, what is your #1 up tip/fact?

Hello!And wellcome. My number one tip is keep a long stick in car, to push down hat self from drivers place.

Ha yes! We've already been caught out by that once and we've had it less than 24 hours.

Yup, had mine for 6 months and still leaving the parcel shelf up

Hi grooveclip,

And welcome to the forum!
Beautiful Groove up! - with the orange dash!

Leatherette seats or not?

Have never had problems with the hat shelf during 4 mounths ...

My tip #1 is a 32GB SanDisk Class 10 microSD (with adaptor if you have a suiting pc slot) ...
The SanDisk Class10 is cheap and I have never heard of problems with it.
Up to 5000 favorite songs ...

Parcel shelf thing happened to me on my test drive, even the dealer got caught out. Bit dumb really, sure VW will sort that on a revision, along with passenger window control for driver.

Yes the orange dash and the leatherette seats, though we're not 100% certain we love the seats, I liked the ones with the orange trim.

Ooh, this is a great idea, I was planning on relying on my phone but I guess that'll save battery!

The sales person on our test drive was sat in the back and shut it before we noticed. I imagine they'll be fixing those in the 2015 model.

Does anyone with the maps and more know how to turn off the "newtrafficalert on your route" message that stops the music you're listing to? It got stuck in a loop today alerting us to a new traffic alert every minute or so.

Hello Grooveclip!!

I'm a newbie too

, but my tip is to get someone to send you a text message with 'xoxox' at the end of the text message, it will pop up on the M&M system and its very funny when it reads it out loud!!. Plus the eco driving on the M&M is good. Tells you in % how your driving.....I like it

I haven't been able to get to M&M to read out messages yet, if a test arrives, it says 'you have a new text message, say read/cancel' but if I say read it just displays it on the screen rather than using TTS. Is that something I have to turn on?

Haven't played with the eco yet, but it sounds interesting!

lovely looking Up!

I still get caught out with the parcel shelf, probably due to having the tinted windows that I don't notice that it is still up when I shut the boot. My excuse and I am sticking with it!

Micro SD is great for storing and playing music, and using the M&M to scan for radio stations. When using the actual player I could only scan one way, but maybe that was just me! I've had my Up! for only two months so still learning.

Enjoy your Up!
