That's just the icing on the cake..
Today, my satnav went temporarily insane. Suddenly, it was set to English. But only the satnav, not the rest of the infotainment system. And there is only a global language setting for all of it. Also, certain words in the navigation directions were still German, namely the street names, numbers and the distance numbers. Leading to directions like "in dreihundert metres turn sharp right into Hauptstrasse" (with number and street name spoken in perfect, accent-free German).
After a reboot, the system was all-German again. As a software engineer myself, I'm not sure I want to know what happened there.

At least it didn't tell you to turn Reich.
Atta boy!Car is now three years old, and had to be TÜVed for the first time. No problems... apart from the fact that I managed to completely use up the front brake pads in only 26,000 km.
