I wish I had these with my R. And I suppose it cannot be retro-coded?
My BMW had this and it was a boon in the winter to warm up the car etc and for car location.

You don't want much do you.  I'm surprised you haven't engaged the services of an Armani-clad chauffeur yet to undertake the menial task of driving :tongue: :kiss:

Is Car-Net App-Connect definitely CarPlay then? Struggling to find much info on it online.

At £100 its a complete no brainer and makes you wonder if Discover Nav is worth it!

Another VW link to carnet info

http://volkswagen-carnet.com/uk/en/start/online-devices.html

Yeah its not really clear though. If you look here - http://volkswagen-carnet.com/int/en/start/car-models/golf_r.html#tab/open/guide-inform it seems to suggest all we'll get is 'Guide & Inform' but no e-Remote or MirrorLink which look to be the more useful features.

Would be nice to see something that says specifically what a BW22 UK market GTD/ GTI/ R will get!

I wouldn't believe any of it - VW UK have had info on carnet since before the Mk7 was released, yet despite all the promises, its never actually been available in the UK - EVEN WHEN THEY SAID IT WAS!

I'd not bank on anything being possible until someone sees it with their own eyes!

This seems to be the only part of that site that explicitly details Car-Net App Connect as supporting Apple Car Play, but its under the Touran section - http://volkswagen-carnet.com/int/en/start/car-models/touran.html#tab/open/app-connect

So maybe that's what they are adding to the Mk7? Hopefully there will be an official release sometime soon clarifying...

I agree it's not clear at all. I'm afraid I can't shed any more light on it, maybe somebody else can??

Reading the brochure again - its saying that Car-net will be available on GTE and e-Golf, nothing else...... no mention of Mirrorlink at all.
