Introduction
Progress
Volkswagen of America introduced the MIB (Modularer Infotainment Baukasten or Modular Infotainment System) generation
of radios in the 2015 Golf models. These systems continued the progression to enhance the information and entertainment
systems in Volkswagen vehicles.
For 2016 models, except for Touareg and Eos, Volkswagen continues to enhance the Infotainment systems with the introduction
of the MIB II. The MIB II systems look similar to the original MIB systems, but have faster processing and more capabilities. This
SSP will introduce you to the benefits of the MIB II systems.
1
MIB II Versions
MIB I vs MIB II Configuration
The MIB I radios were only available in the North American Region for the Golf VII vehicles, particular to the MQB vehicle
design. The configurations of these were relatively identical, with a G683 Front Information Display Control Head for the user
interface, and the J794 Control Module for Information Electronics located inside of the glove box.

MIB II Configurations
The MIB II radio will have two different configurations for the North American Market, even though the capabilities and
specifications will be the same. Vehicles built on the MQB platform will receive the same hardware configurations as the MIB I
systems. However, vehicles that are not yet built on the MQB platform will have:
• A double-DIN configuration without a separate J794
• SD and CD/DVD slots in the radio face
• No Car button on the radio face. Any Car functions are performed using the MFI and/or buttons on the glove box

18
Smartphone Integration through App-Connect
Accessibility
The MIB II radio brings a new level of phone connectivity to the Infotainment system. When an android or iPhone is connected
to the Infotainment system using the USB connection, information can be directly transferred, and some Apps can be operated
using App-Connect.
App-Connect allows certain smartphones to integrate with the Infotainment system. It accesses the data and apps on the
phone, then displays them in a user-friendly format.
The next few pages will detail some of the general steps for this advanced accessibility. Please use these as a general reference
only. Different MIB II systems will have different screens. Also, these screens may change with different software levels.
Note: Not all phones with all software levels will work with this system
19
Smartphone Integration through App-Connect

Note:
• BlackBerry and Windows phones are not compatible with App-Connect.
• Apple devices are not compatible with MirrorLink
20
Smartphone Integration through App-Connect
androidauto allows android devices with the correct
software level to connect to the MIB II Infotainment system.
The phone must be connected to the front USB port in the
vehicle in order to use App-Connect.
At the time of launch, the required
phone Android OS was Lollipop 5.
Steps to ensure a successful androidauto integration:
1. User must have a Google ID
2. User must download and install the androidauto app
from the Google Play store
3. User must be in a place with a clear view of the sky
and a good cellular signal for initial integration of
androidauto
At this screen, you should select Device List to bring up any
phones that are plugged into the USB connection.
When the Device List screen appears, and you see the
correct device, select it to continue.

When an iPhone is connected by USB, you select the
phone...
Then acknowledge that the phone’s data will be transferred
to the Infotainment system.
The iPhone will connect to the Infotainment system. If the
iPhone had been previously connected using Bluetooth, it
will no longer appear as a Source there, as long as it is
plugged in via USB.
24
Smartphone Integration through App-Connect
Apple CarPlay allows iPhones with the correct software level to connect to the MIB II Infotainment system.
When connected, some apps will appear on the CarPlay screen. You can use these apps through the MIB II infotainment head
just like they are used on the phone’s screen.
Any iPhone 5 or higher with iOS 8 or higher are required to use CarPlay. Unlike androidauto, no downloads or permissions are
required to access CarPlay. It is truly a plug-and-play system.
25
Smartphone Integration through App-Connect
When using the phone function of CarPlay, the same
features of the iPhone’s phone are available. They look
slightly different, but all function the same.
In addition, Siri can be operated for some functions.
