Volkswagen's Newest Infotainment System

Volkswagen has just announced their all-new modular infotainment platform (MIB II), and it’s one of the most dynamic infotainment technologies available. It’ll be available in virtually every trim, and we’ll start seeing it in upcoming 2016 models.

More basic Volkswagen models will feature a Composition Color touchscreen 5.0-inch color display with SD card slots, Bluetooth, a USB multimedia interface with iPhone/iPod compatibility and a reverse camera display.

There will also be an upgraded Composition Media unit available on select trims. This will boast a larger touch display, App-Connect smartphone integration, the ability to send texts via Bluetooth, SiriusXM Radio and more.

In higher trim levels, the system will include the Discover Media unit. This includes the features available in lower trims, but will also boast 2.5D Navigation and will predict possible destinations based off of your most commonly travelled routes.
