Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth® audio source can be controlled via the Infotainment system
varies depending on which Bluetooth® audio source is connected.
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 Bluetooth®
audio mode or to a different audio source. In addition, depending on the Bluetooth® 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 possible 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 alert sounds on a connected Bluetooth® audio source,
e.g. sounds generated when pressing the keys on a mobile device, to prevent
interference noise and malfunctions.
Depending on the device, the Bluetooth® audio connection will be disconnected
automatically if an external media player is connected to the Infotainment system via
Bluetooth® and the USB port
simultaneously.
