Speed Cameras?
« on: 11 May 2019, 18:24 »
Sorry if it's already been covered but is there a way of putting up to date Speed Camera locations on the VW Sat Nav system?
Or is there a way of getting my Cameralert app to show on my infotainment screen?
Cheers

Yes, you can get them from PocketGSWorld (£20 per annum) and load them as personal points of interest. The other possibility is Waze, if you have CarPlay. Waze is kept very up to date by user participation.

If you load them as POI's onto VW nav, then you get a pathetic tiny "bing" noise when you are on top of them.

Not much use...

If you have AppConnect, use Waze.

You might not have App Connect in all cars built during or after wk22 in 2015 as it was an extra cost option on the mk7 Golf. If you weren’t the first owner, the original owner might not have specified it.

Also, from what I’ve read on some other forums, it seems that some of the early MIB II infotainment units aren’t App Connect compatible if it wasn’t a factory fit option specified by the first owner. If you check in the car settings via the infotainment screen, if it’s compatible there should be an App Connect icon and selecting the option should generate a message something along the lines of ‘App Connect can be activated by means of an activation key available from the dealer’.

Yours will be a mk7.5 Golf. You’ve not said what model of Golf you have but SE model and above of the mk7.5 Golf should have App Connect as standard.

Sorry, yes it's a mk7.5 golf GTi performance.
I've checked & it's got android app & mirror link.
I can get Waze through android app but my mobile doesn't support mirror link.
Not sure how good waze is regarding speed camera notifications?
