The ‘Discover Media’ navigation system features a 16.5 cm (6.5-inch) touchscreen. The 2D and 2.5D map view permits route selection using three criteria (fast, short, economical). The system allows your mobile phone to be easily linked to the vehicle with the help of Bluetooth® wireless technology.
The ‘Discover Pro’ system displays 3D maps on a large 20.3 cm (8-inch) touchscreen. In addition, the destinations can be conveniently selected using voice command.
The Apps and Services from Volkswagen Car-Net are not only pioneering in terms of their features, but also the way in which they are operated. Once you have ordered the Car-Net services for your vehicle and registered your vehicle on the customer portal, all you need to do is activate the service in the vehicle. You can then plan your next journey from the comfort of your sofa. View relevant vehicle information on the screen of your computer or tablet and conveniently access your settings via the online customer portal.
A mobile phone tariff with sufficient data volume is required to use the WLAN client. The system connects to the Internet via your smartphone’s mobile hotspot. Depending on your mobile phone tariff and especially when being used abroad, additional costs may be incurred (e.g. roaming fees) when receiving data packages from the Internet. Use the links to download instructions on how to pair your smartphone and find out more about infotainment.

The Car-Net Apps und Services can also be used with the ‘Discover Pro’ navigation system in conjunction with the ‘Premium’ mobile phone interface. The integrated telephone module makes it possible to connect to the Internet when you insert a data SIM card in the slot.
Instead of using an extra SIM card, you can also use the data tariff on your smartphone, as long as it is Bluetooth®-compatible and has the remote SIM Access Profile (rSAP). Check the compatibility of your mobile phone here.
Discover Pro
The UMTS CarStick requires its own SIM card with sufficient data volume. The WLAN hotspot works in this way and is independent of the smartphone connection. The link will redirect you straight to the product in the Volkswagen E-shop.

Google Street ViewTM works with images that have to be actively moved. This would represent too serious a distraction for the driver and so is prohibited by law for safety reasons. For this reason, StreetView switches itself off automatically when the speed reaches 5 km/h.
Some countries and cities have objected to Google Street ViewTM for reasons of data protection, and as a result it was not permitted to take any images in those locations.
Google launched its Google Street ViewTM service in 2007 and has been gradually expanding it since then. The images are being constantly renewed in some countries. As a result, some images may be considerably more up-to-date than others.
There are a number of options:
- There is a button that shows a world map at the bottom, right-hand edge of the screen. This button takes you back to the actual map.
- When you reduce the zoom level (zoom out), the view returns to the actual map.
