My S23 Ultra connects perfectly in my MK8 GTI no issues whatsoever

[@shockme66]

Any tricks to get the CarPlay map on the cockpit screen?

[@SirAMG63]

I don’t believe so. On the Polo you can iirc

[@albedebe]

Doest it works only with usb cable?

[@PaddockGuru]

Do you need a cable to use Apple CarPlay?

[@joaquimreis3351]

Good evening friend, do you know how to help me unlock the infotainment of the Golf 8 2023 so I can watch videos through a pendrive while the car is moving?

[@gapi1376]

is it possible to upgrade from this screen to 10inch?

[@haro82]

I have a 380 autobahn on order. Not big on touchscreen. I wish they had a dial to scroll and push to select. Thats what my mazda 3 has thats been pretty usable. Wow that sucks that the android wont connect. Thats the phone that i have too.

[@twofacetyson1980]

Just got the 2024 gti 380. Same issue, my s23 wont connect to android auto

[@DailyMotor]

Shoot :/

[@catherinebedard6873]

I took a picture of the screen when I touched it but don’t know how I did it !?

[@luispineda6254]

like an apple CarPlay screenshot? When you have your phone connected to CarPlay and you take a screenshot on your phone, it also takes one on CarPlay.

[@arisgolseen2693]

Check engine light lol

[@mxwlj6974]

That will stay on until you start the car.

[@mharro88]

Chinese cars have better infotainment systems than this

[@ericcampbell2360]

I love Chinese food
