* Proximity sensors: When a finger approaches the display, the virtual buttons are increased in size.
** External interfaces:
Fitting combinations of the external interfaces (AUX-IN, USB, USB with Apple support) may vary depending on equipment.
• Discover Media navigation system
The Discover Media radio navigation system is also marketed under the name Discover Media Plus in conjunction with certain equipment packages. One-shot destination entry The navigation system can be operated by voice input. The destination is entered in a coherent spoken phrase instead of sequential requests for the address components.
Technical features
In addition to the features of the Composition Media radio, this device configuration has the following characteristics:
• 2 SD card readers**
• Navigation function
- Personal points of interest (POI)
- Preset POIs
- 2D/3D map display
Optional
• WLAN (see page 17)
• Voice control with one-shot destination entry

• Media Control
Personal POIs (point of interest)*
A Personal POI database can be created on the Volkswagen portal and transferred to the Discover Media via SD card. The data is converted using the Nav Companion Internet application. Personal POIs can be displayed on the navigation map and used for POI searches.
* Personal POIs can also be imported via the Car-Net customer portal when Guide & Inform services are activated,
and transferred to the Discover Media via an Internet connection.
** One of the two SD card readers is permanently required for dynamically loading the map and navigation data
Voice control:
Telephones, navigation systems and radios can be operated via voice input. After activation, a red microphone indicates that the instruction is being accepted. The context-sensitive "Commands" are displayed on the screen. In addition, the title blocks of the topics that can be selected are highlighted in red. (This is a dealer PAID for option only) (Voice control is a main dealer unlock - you need to pay for it!)
The Car-Net:
For the first time, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is presenting mobile online services, also referred to as Car-Net. This involves using online data for certain applications, which are referred to as services. These can be provided for various application areas. The following services are currently available:
• Guide & Inform (improved navigation and infotainment)
• App Connect (smartphone connections and apps)
• Media Control (infotainment expansions via app)
This new technology enables customers to display and operate selected parts of their smartphone on the touchscreen of the infotainment system. App-Connect is available for the Composition Media radio and the Discover Media radio navigation system.
MirrorLink:
MirrorLink is a standard that is independent of the operating system. It enables smartphone content to be shown on the display of the infotainment system. MirrorLink was developed by the "Car Connectivity Consortium" (CCC). Several vehicle, smartphone and infotainment system manufacturers belong to this organisation. At the present time, MirrorLink is only supported by smartphones with Android operating systems. This standard makes it possible
to show apps on the display of the infotainment system even when driving. The precondition is for the app in question to be approved by the CCC. The smartphone is connected to the vehicle using a USB data cable. Only image and music data is transferred via the data cable. The smartphone must additionally be paired using Bluetooth in order to use the hands-free function in the vehicle. The smartphone must have an Internet connection so that MirrorLink can function correctly. Only then can the certificates of the apps be downloaded, enabling the system to display the apps even during driving.
Prerequisites
• MirrorLink-capable smartphone (currently only available for the Android operating system)
• Connection of the smartphone to the vehicle via USB data cable
• Approval of the app by the "Car Connectivity Consortium"
Apps
MirrorLink-compatible apps can be downloaded from the "Google Play Store". Apps are offered here directly from Volkswagen and by third parties. Currently, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offers four MirrorLink apps for downloading:
Android Auto:
Android Auto is a standard developed and managed by Google. This standard makes it possible to connect a smartphone to the infotainment system. This means the smartphone can be controlled using the vehicle's touchscreen. Android Auto displays the interactive "Google Now" interface on the infotainment system. Various information items are displayed on the start screen depending on how the user has configured his/her smartphone, and what location requests he/she has made. The information displayed is:
• Weather
• Navigation
• Missed calls
• Text messages
• E-mails
• Current music playback
The first connection can only be carried out at a standstill, because some system messages have to be confirmed. In addition to the cable connection, a Bluetooth connection is established automatically for the hands-free function. Any existing Bluetooth connections between other devices and the vehicle are dropped.
Apple CarPlay:
Apple CarPlay is a standard defined by Apple making it possible to connect an iPhone to the infotainment system. If there is an existing connection, the iPhone can be operated using the touchscreen of the infotainment system, and also continue to be used normally. Apps that are started using the infotainment system are run on the smartphone and can be viewed. Displayed apps are:
• Telephone
• Music
• Maps
• News
• Current music playback (you are listening)
• Volkswagen
• Podcast
• Audio books
The connection is made using an iPhone-specific USB data and charging cable that is connected to the iPhone and the USB socket in the vehicle. Apple CarPlay is started automatically when the "Siri" voice assistant is activated in the iPhone settings. The entire data transfer and voice transfer for the hands-free function takes place via the data cable. All Bluetooth connections already existing to the vehicle are dropped.
