2016 model year changes

Where does it say its 'available' for the R?  I am reading the new brochure but obviously missing something important.....

Under the heading (and accompanying picture of an R.  Not sure what the superscript 6 refers to?

THE APPS & SERVICES FOR THE GOLF R⁶. 

[Mark V GTD]

Thanks but where does it say that - brochure, forum, VW website, on-line article etc?

Sorry to sound thick....

[Booth11]

It's on a website.  You can select by model and it gives you the apps and services for that model

To be honest there so many different pages referring to it, it's highly confusing - well to me anyway

Car-Net is a silly umbrella term that Volkswagen seems to use for different technologies.

• Car-net "Guide and Inform" has been an option in Germany for a while now, it costs 102€ for MY2015 GTIs and seems quite pointless with basic Google maps support via a phone signal.
• Car-net "e-Remote" is for electric models only.
• Car-net "App-connect" offers MirrorLink, CarPlay and Android Auto and can currently only be specced on the new Touran, it's 205€ in Germany and can be used with either Composition Media, Discover Media or Discover Pro.

Seeing as it's an optional extra in the Touran and most likely will be for MY2016 Golfs as well, I don't think VW will add it to anyone who couldn't spec it at the time of ordering.

I'd love to know what the upgraded resolutions for the 6.5" and 8" screens are going to be, the current offers are pathetic.

Ah thanks - with you now..... well we can live in hope but that site seems more focused own what car-net can do than telling you where it can be found. I will take a good look again. :-)

Really pathetic, both the DNS and DNS Pro.

Maybe the site should be entitled "this is what car-net can do.....but you UK-ites are not getting it!"

Anyway, you must have the patience of a saint to trawl through the myriad references to it.  Good luck
