JohnCDF Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am sure this has been covered lots so apologies in advance.... Picked up my new mk7 R last week. Plugged phone into Bluetooth (used lots of different cables), changed settings from just charging to MTP and Android Auto still doesn't work. It just says that device (Samsung S7) isn't recognised. Tried wife's phone (Sony Xperia) and the same happens. I was under the impression that all Golf's were compatible with Android Auto? Any ideas of what I need to do to get it working? Thanks.

App-connect is required on the car - did you spec this? PS Bluetooth does not use a cable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for not ripping me apart for that slip!! No, didn't spec app connect. Can it be retro fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to dealer yesterday and it can be retro fitted for £215 inc VAT. goRt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob PC Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm loving the AA on mine. The first couple of connections were a bit hit and miss but its now working well. Occasionally it fails to connect first time but I then simply pick my phone from the list and it works 2nd time. Voice control is great, though it needs a data connection on the phone to work. Waze is due on AA "in the next few months", as of Android I/O last month, so hopefully before the end of the summer. Google maps is good, but I'm missing my speed camera alerts. My only small complaint is that it takes 2 presses to get back to the AA display if you were looking at one of the stock car screens. E.g. if I'm using Maps, then switch to Radio to change stations, I then need to go to Menu and then App Connect to get back to Maps. Apart from that, way, way better than paying £800+ for VW nav. goRt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
