Much has been said about the premium telephone prep that's has to be ordered if you want the climate windscreen, however when the first Golf specs were leaked last year, there was talk about the Nav Pro having the ability to generate a WLAN network, and much like the Audi "connect" system give you access to google maps, live traffic info, flights details, picture POI searches etc, but since then these options seem to have dropped off the planet.
I thought the new phone prep might contain this, but the only info I can find about this is ;
There is a large storage compartment hidden under the centre armrest that can be adjusted up to 100 mm in length and five stages in height. This compartment also holds a lot: optional features housed here are elements of the hands-free telephone system and a second fully featured USB interface that can be used for data transfer and charging.
For the first time in a Volkswagen, there is also an inductive exterior antenna connection. The cell phone is placed in a universal holder on the centre armrest where the cell phone antenna inductively “couples” and connects to the vehicle’s external antenna. It offers the same advantages as those of a stationary telephone system:
Better reception and signal strength because an external antenna is used.
· Less drain on the cell phone battery. By coupling to an external antenna, the cell phone only needs minimal power to send and receive
Minimal radiation in the passenger compartment
I thought the WLAN kit would be a separate SIM slot in the media box fitted in the Glovebox (again like the Audi system).
Does anyone have any more information on this option ?
