On this topic, is there any way to get Google Maps or Waze on the dashboard (via Android Auto)? Seems like it can only be on the big screen in the middle, which is really annoying

No there isn't.

Its a feature thats not even available on the Mk8 yet and definitely won't be on the Mk7.5 ever.

Android Auto has only recently enabled second screen functionality and integration of even the direction arrows to dash/HUD.
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro
Gone: 2014 Mk7 GTD, manual, NavPro, DCC

huddo,press the Nav button on the infotainment system,then at the bottom press Map.
This should put the map on your cluster.
Just been stuck in traffic,so started playing about.

It's greyed out and not working, that's the whole point of the thread!
