Stay Connected to Your World with the VW Passat

VW Passat Smartphone Connectivity Features

In-car connectivity is one of the best things to happen to the auto industry since radios. With new smartphone integration technology, drivers can not only listen to music but also access apps from their phones, use their operating system’s navigation and more. The VW Passat is one of the many Volkswagen models with such technology available through its App-Connect system.

With the 2017 VW Passat, drivers can enjoy the features of either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Each system allows drivers hands-free access to their smartphones, providing a safer avenue to stay connected on the go. Using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, drivers are able to control their smartphones via the Passat with voice command, touchscreen or the sedan’s knobs and control buttons.
