Volkswagen reveals Connected Golf concept at CES

• Volkswagen claims to have created the most networked car yet with a concept version of the electric powered e-Golf.
• Revealed at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Connected Golf concept provides the scope for a wide range of interfaces via the German car maker’s second-generation modular infotainment system, which is equipped with an upgraded version of Volkswagen’s Car Net.

• Among the highlights is a so-called function called App Connect. In a claimed first within the automotive industry, it supports three differing interfaces: Android Auto, CarPlay and MirrorLink.
• This allows occupants with differing mobile phone operating systems, including Android and Apple’s OS, to access apps over the Connected Golf’s infotainment system.
• A further function called Media Control can also integrate tablets and smart watches in the infotainment system.
