Features & Benefits

Golf 7 MK7-Specific Engineering – Designed exclusively for seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf (MK7) models from 2013-2020 with included fascia panel that matches your factory dash perfectly. Plug-and-play harnesses connect to existing wiring without cutting or splicing, maintaining the quality build standards VW engineered into the Golf platform.

Expansive 10-Inch Display – The larger screen provides 25% more viewing area than standard 9-inch units, transforming your Golf's cabin with tablet-like real estate for navigation maps, media controls, and smartphone interfaces. Text remains readable from greater distances, crucial for keeping eyes on the road during urban driving or highway cruising.

Wireless CarPlay Freedom – Connect your iPhone wirelessly and access Apple Maps, Spotify, Messages, and Siri through the expansive 10-inch display without cable clutter. The system remembers your device and connects automatically when you start your Golf, keeping your charging port available for other devices during daily commutes or weekend road trips.

Android Auto Convenience – Pair compatible Android phones wirelessly (some models require wired connection) to mirror Google Maps, YouTube Music, WhatsApp, and Google Assistant on the large touchscreen. Voice commands handle navigation and messaging while your hands remain on the wheel navigating traffic.

Latest Android 13 System – The upgraded NK 13.0 operating system provides enhanced security protocols, improved app compatibility, and refined performance over previous Android versions. Access Google Play Store to download navigation apps, streaming services, and entertainment options while the system manages updates automatically over WiFi.

Expanded 64GB Storage – Double the internal storage of earlier models accommodates extensive offline map data for multiple regions, large music libraries with lossless audio files, multiple navigation apps for redundancy, and various Android applications running simultaneously without storage limitations.

Built-In GPS Navigation – Preloaded GPS data provides offline navigation capability when mobile coverage drops on regional highways or remote routes. Download alternative navigation apps from Google Play Store, update maps over WiFi, or run multiple navigation solutions for comprehensive coverage across Australian conditions.

High-Brightness IPS Display – The 1280×720 resolution IPS panel with 500nit brightness maintains excellent visibility in direct Australian sunlight, essential for Golf drivers navigating sunny conditions. Wide viewing angles ensure passengers can see navigation details clearly, and the capacitive touchscreen responds like your smartphone for intuitive control.

Enhanced Pre-Output Signal – The 4V pre-output voltage delivers twice the signal strength of standard 2V units, reducing noise interference when driving external amplifiers. This clean signal improves sound quality in upgraded audio systems, ideal for Golf enthusiasts building custom audio configurations.

Complete Installation Package – Includes Golf 7 MK7-specific fascia panel, main wiring harness, RCA cables, camera cable, speaker cables, external microphone, GPS antenna, USB cables, and user manual. Everything required for installation is provided, though professional fitting is recommended for optimal integration with factory systems.
