Exploring VW’s Latest Infotainment System: A Guide for Tech-Savvy Drivers

When drivers think about infotainment, entertainment options are sometimes the first thing to come to mind. Today’s VW models have App-Connect, an infotainment feature that enables connectivity to smartphone-integrated apps via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. To access your smartphone entertainment apps, all you need to do is plug your phone into your vehicle’s infotainment unit or connect wirelessly. 
App-Connect features allow you to access virtually all of your favorite apps on your VW’s centerstack touchscreen. These apps can include Google or Apple Maps, Spotify, Apple News, and Audible, as well as apps for weather updates, your calendar, and more. Using some of these smartphone-connected apps may require a data plan. 

SiriusXM Radio

Satellite radio via a three-month trial for SiriusXM radio is also a standard part of your VW’s infotainment software. Satellite radio provides a crystal-clear listening experience with radio stations that are curated to your interests and musical tastes. After your trial is over, you can contact your dealership to learn about subscribing to a long-term satellite radio plan. 

VW Digital Cockpit Pro

The Digital Cockpit Pro is an enhanced digital cluster found on models like the 2024 VW Atlas. This digital cluster features a large 10.25-inch screen located behind the steering wheel with multiple displays for vehicle stats like speedometer, fuel economy, driving range, and more. This digital cluster comes with a central built-in navigation screen that puts turn-by-turn directions right within your line of sight, rather than on the central infotainment display. 
The Digital Cockpit Pro can be customized to suit your preferences, which means you can choose which gauges or pre-set pages are displayed on the digital cluster. You can choose a full-screen view, a traditional gauge cluster style, or a more modern digital style to customize the Digital Cockpit Pro to your aesthetic preferences. 

Can Your Volkswagen Dealer Update Your Infotainment Software?

The latest infotainment software is typically updated with no-fuss over-the-air updates or remote updates that are automatically downloaded or installed. However, if you run into trouble with your automatic update, you can drop by your VW dealer for troubleshooting assistance. Downloading the myVW app on your smartphone can also keep you updated on your recommended maintenance and updates, and even allows you to schedule service online. 

From built-in navigation to curated music streaming, your VW infotainment software is ready to make each drive a fun and convenient experience. Check out this infotainment technology when you take a test drive at Tony Volkswagen in Waipahu, HI.
