About this app

Complete control from every seat: the VW Media Control app turns your tablet or smartphone into a remote control for your Volkswagen infotainment system. You can use it, for example, to show your current location, how far away you are from your destination and how much longer it will take to get there on your vehicle's display screen. So you can answer the question of "Are we nearly there yet?" with just a quick glance. It's easy to enter a destination into the navigation system, whether you take it from a Google® search or your mobile device's contacts list, calendar or diary.
In the mood for music? You can control the balance, fading and volume from the palm of your hand. If you fancy listening to the radio, you can select any station you like by searching automatically or manually, or even entering a frequency directly. It goes without saying that you can listen to your own songs and albums too, either through your infotainment system or an external audio source connected via Bluetooth. If your infotainment system is connected to the Internet, the VW Media Control app lets you search online for your favourite songs and artists. Everything is under your control: you can turn external device access to your infotainment system off at any time and reactivate it later as required. That's what makes great infotainment!

This Volkswagen app requires a vehicle-specific data interface on the "Discover Pro" or "Discover Media" radio and navigation system. The range of functions available will vary depending on the infotainment system's date of manufacture. Please contact your Volkswagen partner if you have any questions.

Use to work, sometimes. Doesn't boot anymore since Android 12 upgrade. Boo. Edit: 1 year later, Volkswagen still hasn't made an update for the new Android Phones. Edit again: works on Android 14. But definitely needs some updates from Volkswagen to enhance usability. For instance, we can't share a map adresse anymore from Google Maps app.

On my previous android 11, I could never get it to work despite hours of troubleshooting. On Android 12, it just opens with a blank screen. Really disappointing given the connectivity was a major selling point of my VW golf 2021 - feels scammy. Weconnect isn't even available in australia. The VW maps searchability is almost unuseable, which is the main reason I wanted this app

perfect for ingress. iitc, select portal, share location, select Media Control and off you go! phone has to be in the same WiFi with the car to make it work. edit: minus one star because localisation isn't done properly. e.g. set phone to "English (Austria)" and texts are missing and the app crashes. there is a thing called"default language" you know. learn how to use it. edited to one star for no longer working on Android 12 and not fixing this or even answering Mails to support.
