Damm, this would have been excellent if I got it in my GTi.
Could use my iPhone TomTom  :cry:

Surely they wouldn't re-vamp the Nav options on the Golf.

Wouldn't this be something which just goes into new models like the 2014 Passat, and possibly late 14 Scirocco?

I've contacted CCC for more information about how the system will work and if older cars with CMS can be retro-fitted..... I can only assume its possible via a software/firmware upgrade of the CMS via dealerships.
Providing that it doesnt involve any new hardware technology to make it work.  :rolleyes:

So if this does come about and the system can work in a Golf Mk7 with a standard headunit, wouldn't it kind of hit sales of the Navigation option?  Not for all ofcourse, because some would want the larger screen, but certainly would make some think twice?

Several years ago - when Tom Toms etc dropped to just over £100 I predicted the price of OEM sat nav would finally buckle - I was wrong. Maybe this will be the last straw but I somehow suspect the ability to tie in your phone/device app to the car will be a cost option and will be carefully priced to save you a little bit over the regular sat nav unit cost - but only a little bit!!

We can live in hope - but I would say that this is definately different hardware territory  :cry:

Apple are rolling out CarPlay iOS integration with several major manufacturers, but interestingly, VW/Audi aren't mentioned.
