Bluetooth device, e.g. cell phone.
215
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following types of media files can be played:
Audio files, e.g. music.
Video files.
Restrictions and instructions for data carriers
Dirty, overheated or damaged data carriers are not to be used. Read and heed the information provided by the manufacturer.
Difference in quality between data carriers from different manufacturers can cause problems with media playback.
Wrong configuration of data carriers can lead to the data carriers being unreadable.
The storage volume, condition (copy and delete processes), file system, folder structure and the amount of saved data can increase the time taken to read data
carriers.
Playlists only define the order of play and refer to the saved location of the media files within the folder structure. No media files are saved in playlists. To play a
playlist, the media files must be present in the data storage device memory location, to which the playlist refers.
Volkswagen is not responsible for damaged, altered or lost files on data carriers.

Navigation
Introduction
The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your destination, all measured values and possible
traffic information are compared with the available map material.
Audible navigation aids and graphic representations lead you to your destination.Audible navigation aidsAcoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays
lead you to your destination.
In some countries, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction
but rather compliance with legal regulations.
WARNING
Configuring settings, entering destinations and changing settings for the navigation system while driving can distract the driver and cause accidents and
injuries.
Always drive attentively and responsibly.
Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.
If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.
The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.
The corresponding VW Car-Net service needs to be activated to use online functions and mobile online services, e.g. traffic information.
Navigation restrictions
If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible using the vehicle's sensors.
In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try to provide route guidance.
If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in navigation that is not as accurate as usual.
Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or house numbers. Using outdated
navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.
Function descriptions
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety instructions.
Voice guidance
Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.
The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route guidance and whether you are driving o
a highway or roundabout.
If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation announcement that the Destination area has
been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination will also be displayed on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, reported traffic incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation announcement if the route is
recalculated due to a traffic incident or a change in driving style.
You can adjust or mute the volume during a traffic announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that volume or will be muted.
Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.
Adapting the Navigation Map
To ensure an optimum view, you can also adapt the navigation map and map view using enhanced finger movements.
Moving the navigation map
Recommendation: Use index finger.
1. Move the navigation map with your finger.
Zooming in or out on the map view
Recommendation: Use index finger.
