New for 2016 is the introduction of VW’s Car-Net App-Connect. This strangely named system adds Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink, allowing you to show your compatible smartphone’s display on the car’s touchscreen via a USB connection. The system is a £125 option and lets you use different apps such as sat-nav and voice control, providing you have an internet connection.
