Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Do you use Android Auto or Car Play? If so, you still need to plug it in anyway.

    I find it very funny VW released wireless charging without releasing Wireless Car Play at the same time for the latest models.

      Yes, frustrating more so than funny.

      Good point about the apple car play and the fact you still need to plug it in.

      Guess that makes it pointless unless.

      Thanks

            I heard Apple had asked VW to hold back on the Wireless CarPlay, but VW have had it working for awhile now. BMW and VW were the first to show it off, but only BMW has implemented it.

            I usually stick to BT day to day and just use CarPlay for longer trips. Despite the Reminder message, I do forget my phone too often.

            End game is wireless CarPlay, wireless charging and the ability to have a map/song into on the cluster while CarPlay is running.

              From my point of view, Apple Car Play is useless without Google Maps.

              In fact Apple needs to open up Car Play to a lot more car friendly apps than it has. It's nothing more than a gimmick at the moment.

                Depends where you live. I'm on MNC NSW and drive often to Gold Coast and west towards Moree. I find Apple Maps far better than Google Maps, which is quite inaccurate in country NSW.
                The best I've used is Nokia Here maps (now owned by VAG). So I tend to stick with the built in Nav, despite the overly posh voice.
