You are a marvel, for over a year been struggling to get Sat Nav in my VW Polo using my Motorola phone. Even the VW dealership couldn't set it up. Very contented little old lady in the UK.👋👋👋
in South Africa, you need to pay R5000 to get this working. This is a feature that comes with the car? I see the App connect button on the touchscreen but I have to activate it at VW for addisional R5000... That just don't make any sense. Android Auto app also not available in county.
I have a 2018 vw beetle, but my stereo doesnt look like the one in the video and I am unable to get this to work. One of the perks to buying this car I was told it does Android Auto. I am disappointed.
I did it this morning. Make sure you connect via blutooth before trying to go through the cable and be patient while everything loads up. Give the car and phone lots of time to link it's a fairly slow process. Once it's linked things go quickly.
Oh, I was not talking about the MFI between the gauges but the new active info display that also "simulates" the gauges and shows the vw's routing information
Thanks for the video, it is perfectly explained and I see you're a real nerd :) I'm very interested in Android Auto for a new replacement of my glorious 2007 VW GTI radio. Love my car bought new and I'm not sure to swap it for a new one but maybe it's time for a radio update. Going to watch the second part ;)
You should research all the problems with android auto before you buy. My GTI Sport works perfect for about 15 minutes and them all kinds of problems begin to occur. Very disappointed with Google for all the quirkiness.
I have an HTC One(M8) and a 2017 GTI. I cannot change the preferred connection from mirror link to Android auto as per the instructions at 3:15 in the video. does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this issue?
Alex Walker I just saw this; sorry for the slow response. If you haven't gotten this fixed already, I would recommend letting your local dealership service department have a look.

Skip to 2:35. You'll be glad you did.

Does it work with normal radio? All the videos on TH-cam are about touch screen setup. How do I set it up for audio feedback of map directions.
so nice! what about gopro connect in new tiguan?

+coolspringsvw Hello my jetta has the same screen. But when I press the mirror link says to consult the service. What is the reason?
Hi. I didn't purchase the AppConnect. Is it mandatory to have the Android Auto running ? Thanks
Nah
Why the hell do i have to pay some money to volkswagen for using android auto? I really hate it
Tres bonne video
Mine does not work. I have a 2018 passat and I'm using a galaxy s10 with the factory charging cable. Any suggestions why it wouldn't be syncing?

Hi have a 2016 golf s 1.4 automatic in uk. So want to know does it support android .
thanks.
arvind narasimhamurthy I'm not sure about European availability
Hi I have a polo bluegt 2016 and I have no icons for app connect
Nice video! Will it show turn by turn instructions on Volkswagens active info display?
greekgroover it will speak your turn-by-turn directions over the speakers, and you will be able to see the map on the touchscreen.
Tnx for the answer. So it will only show map+route on the central touch screen but not the display in front of you? that's a shame...
greekgroover That's right, no directions in the MFI screen between the guages, at least not yet.

which application for android phone?
I've followed every step and when I select my device it switches from Android auto to MirrorLink then errors out. Any suggestions?
same here !!!
@@deonhrupnarain I fixed this issue by updating my Google Play Services. For some reason this was not getting auto updated. Hope this helps.
thanks . I will try that now now. I doubt it will work , I have tried CarPlay and they works fine but it's not user friendly
why not mirrow link?
I can't get the android app to show up on my 2013 volkswagen passat
Same here

Thank you for getting back to me. I tried that and it seems like my phone (HTC oneM8) does not work with it.
Alex Walker it may have more to do with the operating system than the phone...it has to be running "Lollipop 5.0" or newer
OS isn't the issue. I'm running 6.0
sorry Alex, wish I could help more
MiB men in black just kidding Good video
