Wired vs Wireless Carplay... thank you for telling us which one! Great stuff. Disappointing that it’s not wireless, but that saves me having to look it up, especially since manufacturers won’t specifically unless its wireless.

[@CarExpertAus]

No problems 😁 it should be mentioned in all of the future reviews we shot after this one.

[@kacperlis5321]

Great review! Keep up the good work!

[@CarExpertAus]

Thank you!

[@alexanderkelly3496]

Can you please tell me how to remove the hand / swipe effect when you are listening. I listen to audiobooks when driving and it often repeats with the slightest movement of my left hand. Thank you and Happy 2021.

Hi, great video. Does the digital cockpit work with apple maps on carplay?

[@rod73br]

Paul when do you think we will have the digital cockpit integrated with google or any mobile map? PS Love your reviews, mate!

[@ashesofasker]

Great video. Thanks. As I few others I wonder if turn-by-turn directions (or the complete map) from Apple Carplay / Android auto will show in the digital cockpit?

[@srishti7544]

No. Only native navigation shows on the cockpit.

[@mrfenix4111]

are the special $$$ screens needed or can I not choose them?

[@laurencerucker2585]

Would have been nice to actually show what buttons you were pressing on the steering wheel to change settings...

Is there any difference between Discover pro 2018 vs 2020 versions? I am thinking about to get a tiguan 2018 model

[@SchalkBruwer]

No difference

[@antoniosantonios913]

You got a thumbs up mate, possible to have a full screen view on the dash screen of the golf highline r? Or any other tips & tricks?

[@CarExpertAus]

Good question! My understanding is some versions of Discover don't allow maps to be displayed simultaneously on the infotainment screen and virtual cockpit :-D

[@antoniosantonios913]

@@CarExpertAus stereo screen allows gmaps or Waze and simultaneously default maps on cockpit but not gmaps

@@CarExpertAus Hey mate, any idea on how to update firmware for the discovery pro

[@delbroox]

Who's the developer or software supplier for this system? Is it Blackberry QNX?

[@WebbyOnCars]

One of the better systems on the market I reckon!

[@CarExpertAus]

Definitely :-D

My 2020 Touareg is on the boat and will arrive by end of October. I didn’t opt for the innovision pack for a couple of reasons (1) wife didn’t want the massive screen and prefers physical buttons for air con (2) I allocated spare cash to premium upgrade and sound and comfort pack instead. Anyways, is the stock standard discover pro 9.2’ the same as this one here in your video and is it the same processor as the 15 inch ? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@laurencerucker2585]

Air con controls are shown at start of video you can see them between bottom of screen and the gear shift... May have to pause... Not a very clear video does not show everything including buttons he presses on steering wheel. Also does not show all the settings.

[@dragospahontu]

@@laurencerucker2585 exactly, much better

[@-TJ-]

Disappointed you didnt use the hardness tester on the screen... My fingers will hurt if the screen is above a 75

[@CarExpertAus]

😅 not sure if serious!

[@casckana]

Can you install this in an mk6 ?

[@dragospahontu]

Only Mk7

[@justinriddett9595]

Possible to put this into Amarok?

[@dragospahontu]

No. This Mib2.5 had many problems. I would stick to what you've got.

[@antoniosantonios913]

Answer me how to mute music and I'll give this video a thumbs up

[@CarExpertAus]

You can just hit the power button and it will mute the audio :-D
