Existing owners of Mk 8 Volkswagen Golfs are to get a free hardware upgrade offer for their infotainment system in the near future, as part of an improvement which will incorporated into all production Golfs from early next year, writes Brian Byrne.
The upgrade provides a more powerful computer chip that can give faster and more efficient voice control and gesture control on the system, with an accompanying software update which will be carried out over-air.
The company says the move is in response to customer feedback about the current system. Among other things, the update eliminates accidental activation of the under-screen controls when using the touch-screen.
