Cable and wireless con-
nections
Introduction to the topic
Some e xternal devices can be connected to
the Infotainment system by cable and wire-
less connections present in the vehicle (if in-
stalled).
The type and number of cable and wireless
connections differ according to country and
vehicle. The connections may also be differ-
ent within a model series or in special-edition
models.
In the case of cable connections, use only the
original device connecting cables or, if availa-
ble, the factory-supplied connecting cables
for your vehicle.
If the plug on the connecting cable cannot be
inserted, check the angle of insertion and the
connections. NOTICE
Use only suitable and undamaged connecting
cables f
or cable connections.
x When inserting the plugs of the connect-
ing cables into the appropriate connection,
ensure that they are correctly positioned
and apply only light pressure. Applying too
much pressure may damage both the unit
connection and the plug of the connecting
cable.
x Make sure that the connecting cable is not
pinched or sharply bent.
x Using unsuitable or damaged connecting
cables may damage devices and cause
malfunctions. If a connected device is not recog-
nised, disconnect all de

vices and con-
nect the device again. If necessary, check
that the connecting cable you are using is
working properly. If a connected device malfunctions, re-
start the de

vice. In some cases this will
remedy the fault. USB port

2. Switch on Bluetooth visibility on the ex-
ternal Bluetooth audio source ( e.g. mo-
bile device).
3. Open the
Media menu.
4. Touch Source and select BT Audio
.
5.

If necessary, start playback on the Blue-
tooth audio source manually.
When playback on the Bluetooth audio
source is stopped, the Infotainment system
remains in Bluetooth audio mode.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth audio
source can be controlled via the Infotainment
system depends on the connected Bluetooth
audio source.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth profile, playback on the Bluetooth
audio source can be automatically started or
stopped when the unit is switched to Blue-
tooth audio mode or to a different audio
source. In addition, depending on the Blue-
tooth audio source, tracks can be displayed
and changed via the Infotainment system.
Due to the large number of possible
Bluetooth audio sources, it is not pos-
sible to guarantee fault-free operation of all
described functions. The Volkswagen website
contains a list of compatible mobile devices.
Always switch off the warning and
service tones on a connected Blue-
tooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a mo-
bile device, to prevent interference noise and
malfunctions.
With some units, the Bluetooth audio
connection will be disconnected auto-
matically if an external media player is con-
nected to the Infotainment system with
Bluetooth and the USB port simultane-
ously. Infotainment system
