Volkswagens Are Getting A Long Overdue Upgrade
Volkswagen is rolling out a new console platform, MIB II, in its 2016 models, reflecting the car company's increased investment in technology. According to Left Lane News, 90 of Volkswagen's current innovations are in the realm of electronic systems. The MIB II replaces phone-specific ports for phones with USB ports. It also offers an increased amount of connectivity with an App-Connect feature that recognizes the type of phone brought into the vehicle and syncs the platform display to match. Drivers will be able to use hands-free and voice-assistance features with the MIB II as well. The new technology will be available on most 2016 VW vehicles, according to Cars.com.
