Title: Are Mk7 Golfs CarPlay enabled?

Got prompted to update iOS today. One of the features is carplay.

CarPlay
iOS experience designed for the car
Simply connect your iPhone to a CarPlay enabled vehicle
Supports Phone, Music, Maps, Messages, and 3rd-party audio apps
Control with Siri and the car's touchscreen, knobs, and buttons

Looks like another version of Mirrorlink to me
