The Mk8 has a new panoramic display thing (I think that was what Evo called it) which already can be seen on high-end VW's...

In fact, most of what will make the Mk8 probably can already be seen elsewhere further up VW's range... we only tend to look at the Golf, which is more middle bottom than top!
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro
Gone: 2014 Mk7 GTD, manual, NavPro, DCC

Just to note the ‘dual screen’ thing (I’ve not read your links yet) may refer to the fact that from iOS13 you will be able to look at one app on your phone (your passenger, obviously!) and something else on the dash screen. Presently, if you have Music on the dash and open Waze on the phone, both screens will Display Waze. I think that’s what is meant by dual screen support.

EDIT...

Second video stream support
Automakers can develop CarPlay systems that show information in a second screen, such as in a cluster or HUD.

Blimey, I'm glad I'm not into all this tech or reliant on it as all these worries/issues would drive me mad! You all have my sympathy (whether or not you want it...) :rolleyes:

The tech is one reason I switched from Audi. All standard on the GTI. Many thousands of your hard earned for optional extras on an Audi! A small part of me does miss my four rings though. Mostly for the fit & finish of the interior which is way ahead of VW.  :undecided:

I loved my A4, it was a great car if a little flawed in some areas but I don't miss Audi. I didn't like the A3 interior, nor did my OH, which is why I ended up with a VW. Come the next change I will again go for what I want regardless of the brand (assuming funds allow).

The dealership haven't confirmed either way yet, but they have confirmed that I can have Nav at no extra cost so it's not a worry. Think i'll be trading the golf in for a Polo Gti Plus tomorrow....

Yup, bloody ace that is. Maybe have tog et saving for when my PCP is up. A GTI and a Touareg, that would be a stable!
