<section class="page">

Volkswagen is joining the wave of 2016 models that will support some combination of Android Auto, Apple Carplay, or MirrorLink in new infotainment systems. </p><p>
The
company announced Wednesday that its MIB II second-generation modular infotainment platform will support all three smartphone-car interfaces, in nearly all 2016 models and trim packages. (The 2016 Touareg and Eos models are the only ones left out.) Floor models of 2016 vehicles with the systems installed should arrive shortly in dealership showrooms. </p><p>
Along with the smartphone integration, Volkswagen says its MIB II platform has higher-resolution screens, faster processing speeds, and better graphics than MIB I, which debuted in 2015 Volkswagen Golf models. The lower end system has a 5-inch, 400x240-pixel resistive touch display, while the higher-end option includes an 800x480-pixel capacitive touch screen, which can range in size from 6.3 to 8 inches.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2954662/car-tech/android-auto-apple-carplay-mirrorlink-most-2016-volkswagen-cars-will-have-all-three.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
