App Connect
Would you like to use your smartphone apps securely and conveniently in your vehicle? App-Connect1 allows you to conveniently use selected apps and content right in your Volkswagen.
This is an offer by Volkswagen AG, Germany.
How it works
Your smartphone apps are transmitted to the display of the infotainment system and can therefore be comfortably and clearly controlled within your line of vision. That makes it incredibly easy to access music, news, maps or audiobooks, for example. Volkswagen offers two interfaces for connecting smartphones, with numerous options: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto by Google. The wireless connection option for the navigation systems “Discover Media”, “Discover Pro” and “Discover Pro Max” and for “Ready 2 Discover” also makes their use particularly convenient. To avoid distraction, only certified apps can be started during the journey.
Volkswagen AG allows you to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the country-specific availability of both technologies is the responsibility of Apple and Google.
