Active Info Display

I found Waze a complete pain and much prefer the nav pro in my GTi. If maps are kept up to date along with speed cams then no reason to not use the VW nav.

so because someone doesn't necessarily agree with everyone else you need to resort to childishness??

Was reading about IOS 13 and carplay now allows dual screens, so the option is there for carplay to appear on AID, however not sure if VW would need to release an update or if it means new hardware before it will be supported.

Really hoping it just works...

I think you’ve misunderstood. By dual screen they mean split screen. Eg. The main dash screen will support two apps side-by-side, eg Apple Maps on one half, Apple Music on the other (if you want to).  This doesn’t extend to the AID. The inability to display the same thing on the AID as on the main screen is a VW limitation, not an Apple one.  NB split screen in iOS13 will be limited to native Apple apps initially, ie it won’t work with Google Maps, Waze or Spotify (in split mode).

Nope, not misunderstood. pretty much every source I can find via google has clearly stated that it allows the use of a second screen such as the HUD or the instrument cluster. This is separate to the redesign of the homescreen etc.

I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere, as you're talking about iOS 13 and CarPlay in one post, and then Google in the next

Whoops, misread. You're finding your sources via Google. My eyes jumped to the words "google has clearly stated"

Having said that, I have to agree with Mutley

Yes, I think what VW have done here is to remove the possibility of having anything but a Nav screen between the dials. The temptation to hack a video screen there would be too much for some idiots. We have enough distractions as things are now.

Just read that back and I sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells! Ah well, made my point. 😐

Link here, mentions all the display changes and then at the bottom mentions that there’s support for dual screens. Like I said previously, definitely suggests it’s enabling hud/aid type displays as a second screen in my opinion. I’ve asked the local dealership and they are looking into it, will update here if I find anything interesting out.

"I've asked my local dealership. " That would be the last place I'd ask about anything up and coming. They are normally the last to know about anything new!

Yea i'm not expecting anything positive but you've got to give them a chance i suppose!

Changelog from Apple's website is here - https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13-preview/features/

Second screen support is definitely the ability to display in the HUD/AID screen, not the new dashboard. Over to Vw I guess then to see if/when it's supported.

Yup, it does indeed suggest that, well spotted. Wonder if different hardware would be required? Maybe not, but even if it's software I reckon it'll be a selling point of the Mk8 rather than an upgrade, unfortunately.

Not that it matters to me, as I'm an Android user
