Just following up on this thread - is it possible to get Apple CarPlay to display on the view in the digital dash?
Or is it only compatible with VW native nav?

No but you can have a map from CarPlay on the centre screen and the vw map showing on the instrument panel at the same time.Just following up on this thread - is it possible to get Apple CarPlay to display on the view in the digital dash?

And while you can’t display Car Play on the dash, if you use Apple Maps to navigate (as opposed to Google Maps or Waze), the dash will automatically switch to the maps view when you start the navigation and the direction arrows displayed on the dash will be those of Apple Maps (but the map will be that of the VW sat nav and won’t actually show you the route). It’s quite bizarre.No but you can have a map from CarPlay on the centre screen and the vw map showing on the instrument panel at the same time.
Exactly. It kind of drives my bonkers! So close, yet so far.And while you can’t display Car Play on the dash, if you use Apple Maps to navigate (as opposed to Google Maps or Waze), the dash will automatically switch to the maps view when you start the navigation and the direction arrows displayed on the dash will be those of Apple Maps (but the map will be that of the VW sat nav and won’t actually show you the route).

We now use Waze via the Apple CarPlay as found the VW system let us down on so many occasionsI would be obliged if anyone would explain to me, how I instruct the Nav. system to avoid tolls.
Having said all that, it's still not perfect..Touring Scotland this week, just after a software update on our 6.1 Coast (analogue dash) and I've just noticed that the nav arrow between the dials comes from Apple Maps if using carplay or Google maps if using Android auto. Previously it was only visible when using the built in SatNav.
Might be old news to some but I was pleased to see this neat little update.
