New video, yet uses the old system... not very good that. Also using the top of the optional sat nav instead of the one most people have seems odd. New one has carplay and android auto, and did so when this review was made.

[@TheisAnd]

How did they end up with an average of 4.1? 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 20; 20/5 = 4 - where did the .1 come from?

[@Sceri0]

+Theis Andersen indeed wtf

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

+Theis Andersen weighted average based on overall preference would be my guess

[@TheisAnd]

My guess too. But it just felt like a really easy calculation gone wrong :P

[@TheStefchoo]

+Theis Andersen From the badge perhaps ..

[@victhaking3158]

+Theis Andersen the emissions guy done the calculation

[@fmsantoscar]

you should have had a 2016 VW which has Carplay, MirrorLink and Android auto....so this test is flawed...

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

+F Carv Only if you pay extra...

[@SergeyAlyaev]

+F Carv, in addition I believe that whenever you have your mobile phone connected to the car, you do not care about the old useless DAB, stupid manufacturer navigation and so on. It was cool in 2005, not 2015.

[@TarikDaniel]

Google Maps is a bit cheaper but better? Not really.

[@LauraliRuddy]

some people need this review if they are buying 2015 cars, like myself :)

[@MrTARIQSs]

WHY DID YOU REVIEW THE OLD VERSION INSTEAD OF MIB 2 ??????? This is not fair

[@ianhuxstep211]

Great review but do you know how you can enter a post code and house number into the SAT NAV

[@odinnln5694]

Rebecca scores 0 out of five for even suggesting that anybody should be adjusting this while driving

[@ElleDotEm]

please do a review for the Renault clio

[@kinhung]

@carbuyer, why test an outdated car model without carplay and android auto? lower the score?

[@xcvmxcgvhkj]

Can the bmw and Audi systems skip songs when connected via Bluetooth this video seems to be the only one it’s mentioned on

[@NorbertoHenriques]

How does one is able to see the "Other POIs" menu under the "POI" soft button on the NAV screen? For some reason my 2016 Discover Pro only displays "Car Parks", "Petrol Stations" and "Restaurants", it does not display the "Other POIs" option.

[@SDRockman]

Is there an equaliser that you can install or use for this audio system other than the one that is already on it? The three band EQ is not enough to get a clear sound, I had to boost the bass, middle, treble and if you think that sounds wrong then, that's why I am asking if there is an equaliser that can be installed that has at least 15 bands?

[@zdandrija]

Golf 4.1 vs Astra 4.3 ???

[@guy0172]

does anyone know if the golf match edition has android auto?

[@stevie2686]

Pity you didn't review the headlights and reversing lights. They are terrible

[@jumpjunkie9248]

She says it has speed cams,but it does not!

[@salbers]

Voice commands is a HUGE safety and issue and you do not demonstrate it. You should do a video of just voice commands.

[@TariqAmazin]

dope

[@ToxicCool2]

Not 4.1, it's just 4 for the average. Learn your maths!!!

[@Jsah11]

Yup. New video featuring the old system. Useless video....

[@Danger_Tape]

These reviews are so inconsistent.

[@shonygozer94]

After vw fucked up there diesel models they obvs brought a GTD , HAHAHAAHAHAH i liked it

[@Leonardofahrer]

Once you have saved a destination you cannot delete it. So ... I´ve got 3 dead people in my "saved destinations" including my dead parents.

[@CiroDiMaRzio12304]

aaah soo sad.

[@guy0172]

does anyone know if the golf match edition has android auto?
