How It Works

How It Works

Your smartphone apps appear on your infotainment display, making it easy to control music, news, maps, and audiobooks while you drive. Volkswagen offers two interfaces: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto by Google, both with wireless options for “Discover Media,” “Discover Pro,” and “Ready 2 Discover” navigation systems. To minimize distractions, only certified apps are available while driving.
