VW Golf MkVIII Infotainment upgrades..., for SEAT too??
- Thread starter Torque69
- Start date
Yeah I saw that too, I wonder, mine hasn't got a build date yet, so would be nice if it came with this!!
Says new models but golf's in the coming months, whatever that means, we talk 2 or 6?

I note the comments re hardware AND software, with the latter (not former) being rolled out to other models but no mention of the hardware..
Maybe the facelift version of the Mk4 will have the hardware upgrade, to make the really cheap and nasty Android tablet they've fitted in these cars 25% (!) more 'powerful', but the rest will be rolled out in software updates - if the current hardware can support it, which frankly I doubt.
They are Linux based so not Android.... nothing wrong with Android

The outfit behind the technology using said software above, was a move from Blackberry's QNX which was on mib1 and mib2.

Perhaps no surprise if you change your operating system you might get some problems.....
You would think so. Possibly the classic case where the software written needs more powerful hardware than what it's installed on. Probably contracted the hardware before they had the software written so it is under powered for the job... May be. The criteria use to be something should happen after pressing a command within 3 seconds... probably more demanding these days. I've read really long boot up times for mib3.
Ah it's not as bad as it used to be. I currently own a mk8 golf, it's bad for climate control on startup though, you have to give it 30 seconds or so before you dare touch climate control.
Actual start up is about 5s, things come up to speed in about 30/40s
I get to drive both my Cupra Mk4 and a Peugeot 5008, the Infotainment in the Peugeot works and its quick it feels like pure luxury compared to the Cupra and shows how bad the VW infotainment system actually is. VW need to up there game I think this will be last VAG car I have now.
