Dan, when doing the google assistant demonstration you can activate it from the button on the steering wheel. If you short press it it will activate the car's voice activation, but if you long press it, it will activate google assistant instead... You just need to make sure you have the android auto showing on the screen... My previous generation SEAT Leon allows ir to be done this way when using the Full Link, so i assume the VW group didn't remove it in these new systems... If they did, then it wasn't a smart move... :D
Hi. Do you know if wireless app connect is only available on this model of infotainment system for caddy? I just received brand new caddy cargo edition and it was supposed to have wireless app connect, but it only has the 8.5" infotainment system and does not even have wired app connect available on the screen. I have contacted the dealer and they say there was a batch of caddy's sent out without app connect on them and they are supposedly looking into it. But I got the feeling today that vw aren't keen to change the radio that I paid for. I waited since march 2022 (7 months) for delivery and now it doesn't even have all the spec it should have.
Great video Dan I have the same system in my new Golf, although I’ve got a iPhone and I’ve not even used Apple CarPlay yet because of Lockdown I’ve only been out in the car twice!
Hello! Which android version were you using? I have a golf 8 MY2021 (should be same MIB3 unit), but the wireless AA does not work. The car does not offer android auto connection, car's wireless AA shows that no devices are known, and the phone only connects via the cable. I'm trying to piece together what could be wrong before I try to mess with the dealer. I've tried multiple different phones of different manufacturers, but they were all running android 11.
Try with different phones. I use android 11 . It had made some problem as well. Try other phones and see if work. Update phone to latest software. RESET CAR FROM FACTORY SOFTWARE. 👍👍
@@MrZhilvinas no doesn't have it in the menu. According to the android 11 website it should be supported. As the car has 5ghz WiFi. I'll have to check with VW direct. Thanks for replying.
Great Video. Do you know if new Facelift Seat Ateca have the same system ? I.E. Can we connect the android auto wireless to the new Ateca infotainment system?
I have a brand new Golf Variant R and a Xiaomi 10T Pro and only admit Android Auto with USB connection. I can't use it wireless! Is that regular? Thanks
Dan please help, is there any way to become the main user without the two key activation (I have only one key, company car) I made my VW app account and everything but I cant open app connect on the car because I am not main user. Please any advice? Thanx in advance

Hi, I have a VW Golf mk8 2022. Today whilst using Google maps the directions also appeared on the instrument cluster above the driving data and was wondering how I get that to appear everytime as it's quite cool to have it on there too and the infotainment screen. You don't get the full map just the next step of your journey. Thanks.

Can this be installed on infotainment unit? My passat 1.8T is on infotainment. Only the 2.0geta discovery media
thank you for this very good video 👍 👌 Does Android Auto Wireless drain the battery of the phone much?
Adrian it will draw the battery but not very fast because the phone screen will be close ...maybe 15% faster then normal 🙂👍

Strange...🤔
@@SDADanCars the car in my opinion is very disappointing it is already going back for a software update after less than 1000 miles
First time I heard that. Thanks for feedback 👍🙏
You were in dark mode because probably your headlights were on..
Even when in auto mode you can notice it happens when you enter a tunnel for example.
Yea 👍
First
👍👍🎉🥳🍻🎊
Google Maps is dark because your phone is in battery save mode
Ohh yes Robin 🤪😁🤭
