How to Use the Infotainment System in the Volkswagen Golf VIII

Learn how to use the infotainment system in the Volkswagen Golf VIII: the instrument cluster is fully digital and customisable. You can change it using the two buttons on the right side of the steering wheel; the right arrow will change the right side of the dashboard, and the left arrow will change the left side.

Simply, using the up and down arrows, you can change the central part. With the "view" button, you can change the screen layout.

From the screen, you can choose the type of clock to display. When the screen is on, you will find the menu icons, and by holding one, you can move it like on a smartphone.

Scrolling right will reveal customisable widgets. There is no need to touch the screen; just get close! The square button allows you to return to the "home" page from anywhere.

From the screen, you can access all the vehicle's features, such as climate control, which offers unexpected functionalities. Below the climate button, in the console, is the "mode" button to select the driving mode according to your current needs, which are highly customisable.

The radio button allows you to tune into your favourite stations, and from the phone button, you can easily connect with your smartphone. The navigation system is smooth and intuitive.

You can also activate or deactivate certain driving aids. The connection to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can be done via cable or Bluetooth, and it is possible to connect as different users.

There is also the "ambient lighting" application to choose the brightness and mood you prefer. And there is even an instruction manual.
