It is!  I really like it and use it a lot more than I thought I would.

It's great, I'm glad I held out for the mib2. Spotify is good but I use Siri quite a bit for finding numbers and address'.

It's a shame the maps isn't pinch to zoom or that vw doesnt support wireless connection but I can live with it how it is.

Does anybody know if app connect can be retro fitted yet? I have a new MY2016 car so it has the car net function but App connect says can be activated by an authentication code from dealer. My dealer thought retro fit this wasn't yet available but wasn't 100% sure when it would be if at all. Surely it's a software update only? Would have been specced by me if car hadn't been a dealer pre order and already past the options cut off date.

It's a real shame VW don't let us have a message reader on the standard system. My wife's 2012 Fiat 500 has it and works really well, just the same as the CarPlay one.

That's one of the features I most like about CarPlay, really useful to be able to listen to text/iMessages.  :cool:

Bungleaio iOS 9 brings in wireless support apparently. No need for the cable... The music integration will be great with an apple music subscription...

Yeah iOS 9 supports it, the golf doesn't unfortunately.
