GTE... almost there?

[am1w]

Hi Lee,

Glad you enjoyed yourself in Greece driving the GTE. Weather must have been excellent. It always is.
Quick question: Regarding the DNS Pro and the DNS; will there be a Generation 2 for the DNS as well and will these Generation 2 versions be available on BW6 cars?

Thanks.

Yes there will be a Gen 2 DNS as well, stupidly I forgot to ask when they would find there way into the Golf models. Much better screen quality and over twice as fast processing speed.

Rest assured as soon as I know you guys will too. Weather was lovely, low twenties definitely somewhere I want to go back on holiday.

Thanks Lee. Please enquire about the Gen.2 Sat Navs. I do hope my BW6 R might come with one.

I doubt it'll be in the r as it was said for now they were only going in electric/hybrid models. You'll have plenty of miffed gti/gtd drivers who ordered nav pro on the understanding it came with car net only to find the brochure was incorrect.

More than currently?

I've still no idea why the UK didn't get car net - its more than just network service availability, the unit doesn't even have the sim card slot - a definite "you are not having it"

Actually, I've just found this page:

Maybe that's the problem, you need premium phone prep?

Even with premium phone prep you still couldn't get car net services. Master tech made a few phone calls etc etc and came back with car net is only available on electric/hybrid models in UK. I hope this changes though.

That's soon to change then because it will be coming in the new Passat. It was in the new passat we were playing around with carnet etc

If anyone wants the information we were given ref Gen 2 Infotainment systems just PM your email and I will fire some stuff over.

The equivalent Carnet on the Audi is really useful. So I would be looking forward to it on newer generation VW's

You can browse via Google maps on your PC then send the details to your car so its all ready to go when you get in.
Also you're not limited to postcode and road searches, you can go online in the car and search for businesses etc.
As well as giving you the days news, weather, cheapest petrol stations and cost of the fuel, as well as events in the area and available parking spaces in local car parks.
It also requires the equivalent premium mobile interface.

That would be lovely to have in my car and quite honestly, not been beyond the realms of possibility for years.

Why are car manufacturers always so slow to adapt, particularly with the OEM nav/entertainment systems
