Thanks I’m sure it’s a pointless upgrade, but I like the traffic updates and sat nav  updates as there is no other way of updating thanks again

Yes, the other bits are useful,  It’s just the Apple Music part that’s pointless.

Paying vw for navigation is daft when your phone has it for free and arguably superior navigation too from either Google or waze.

Never really used Nav on any of my last 3 GTI,s always use Google maps and Tom Tom Amigo in background to cover all speed and traffic cameras.
Even easier on MK 8 with wireless Android auto.

Should work through CarPlay or Android Auto, you’ll need to pair your phone with the Infotainment via one of those if you haven’t done so already.

You'll wonder how you lived without Waze in a few months  Mossy.  I don't go anywhere without it and the fact that Android Auto is also the best way to connect Spotify means it's a must for me.

Much better. You get speed cameras as well as the best patching algorithm out there.

Even works with the hud if you have it
