Active Info Display

[eatontrifles]

Mk7.5 gets delivered next week.

Was wondering if you can use the sat nav from Android Auto on the Active Display (so Google Maps or Waze), or if it's limited to the VW Sat Nav?

Built in Nav display only. If you only have the basic nav, you can only display the map on either the main screen or the AID, not both at the same time. Pro version removes this limitation.

Shame, thanks.

There are some more interior shots of the new Polo Active Info Display on Evo site below. Does look way more thought out than the Mk7.5 Golf. In fact the new Polo GTI actually looks far better designed outside as well.

There's your MK8 Golf, additional crease lines upper doors/body/boot and bonnet. Also interior likely to have similar changes and colour options (about time) But still a gradual evolution of the 6/7/7.5. Will look very nice especially with some more garish/Essex colour options. I like the burnt orange similar to the MP4

Like the look of the new Polo.
If it's significantly cheaper than the Golf GTI, I can see a fair few people being swayed by it.

It does look nice, but I suspect the quality will be some way from the Golf and it may well still run with the live rear axle of the current version.

My guess is VW will work hard to keep the cars separate in terms of quality, refinement and kit, etc., in order to justify the 25 to 35% premium it hopes to charge.

Yeah I agree. Does look good, and almost the same size as a Mk4 Golf. I could be tempted myself, but will have to see how its spec compares with the Golf's. If it needs a small fortune spending on options to match up (like the current Polo GTi) then it'll probably be a nono.

They are things i've thought about too, however early reviews of the new Seat Ibiza seem quite favourable.

The Polo looks great, The only issue for me is that its not as attractive as an everyday 'family' car. The Golf ticks that box in my opinion.

There are some cracking deals on the remaining stock at the minute. I saw a few brand new (pre-reg) with pretty much every possible option specced for under 16k.

Some good pictures of the new Polo GTI in this article in CAR Magazine. It looks really good in Red with what looks like an 18" version of Brescia alloys;

I guess that the new Polo tech won't appear in the Golf until the MK8?  Unless they do a face lift of the face lift?
