Anyone had a play with these yet?

I have, maybe a placebo effect but I reckon I'm being pushed away from a stop rather than pulled away, if that makes sense ? Steering feels lighter too as though there isn't as much torque steer ? Again placebo ? I like it and wouldn't change it back, maybe in snow it would show up more.
Hmmm....did you try the reduced noise setting??
im wondering how that would actually work?

not much info out there.
How can I make my VW AWD more RWD biased?
How can I make my VW AWD more RWD biased?
I am sure that out of the factory the brochure/web site stated that the 4wd is 90% front, 10% rear on the T6. I understand that this is different from previous versions.
My assumption is that changing this puts more % to the rear, How Much? No Idea. But with Quiet mode I assume it puts 100% to the front so no use of the Hadex system hence less noise and better fuel consumption.

The reason to turn it off is to maximize fuel effectiveness. I wonder how effective it is since all axles all still being turning over.
I enabled the rwd bias setting. Now when engine braking I think I can hear a sound like an old Audi with Torsen. But it might be placebo. I just tested on gravel and I must say the front wheels slip less than before. Will test more in Norway next week.

Hi! I just discovered this option with Carista, and I’d like to know if it really works. I imagine the "Increased Traction" option enhances traction on the rear wheels, but my question is whether the "Noise Reduction" option completely disconnects traction on the rear wheels and if this could affect fuel consumption.
I read somewhere, and am open to being corrected, that a 4Motion T6 is something like 200KG heavier than a 2WD, surely the extra weight is the most significant factor in fuel consumption as the prop shaft, differential and drive shafts are all turning anyway regardless of settings.
