 The introduction of the second generation modular infotainment matrix (MIB) satisfies the growing demands of
customers.
Compared with that of the predecessor, the performance of the modular infotainment matrix is much higher in
order to offer a more comprehensive infotainment package.
The latest generation of Discover Pro, with new navigation functions among its features, is presented in the new
Passat. This means, for example, that Discover Pro can display maps from „Google Earth” and
„Google Street View”.

„Car-Net” brings together the mobile AGonline

 Media interfaces

The Passat 2015 can be equipped with three different types of media interface:

• USB connection
• USB and AUX-IN connection
• Multiple USB connection and AUX-IN connection

The USB connection can be ordered with Apple compatibility. This means no specific adapter cable is required, as
the Apple authentication chip is integrated into the USB connection. The original telephone adapter cable can be
used for connectivity.

USB connection
The Composition Touch and Composition Colour have
the AUX-IN connection integrated into the device as
standard. The USB connection can be ordered as an
option and is installed in the storage compartment of
the centre armrest.

 Preparation for mobile telephone

The „Basic” mobile telephone interface

The „Basic” preparation for mobile telephone enables communication via Bluetooth between the mobile telephone
and control unit J764 or radio R. The following Bluetooth protocols or profiles are supported by this configuration:
HFP, A2DP, AVRCP.

Connection options
It is possible to pair a mobile telephone via HFP to the Composition Touch/Colour and, at the same time, an
additional mobile telephone via A2DP/AVRCP. The following table

prioritised:
The mobile telephone that is paired first or the mobile telephone first recognised after the terminal 15 ON cycle is
marked as prioritised. It is shown in the list of maximum two active mobile telephones in the menu of the radio
navigation system.
associated:
If a mobile telephone is already paired or has already been detected in the active driving cycle, the next mobile
telephone is marked as associated. It is shown in the menu list of the radio navigation system as the second in
succession.

For incoming and outgoing calls, both mobile telephones (prioritised and associated) can be used in the same way.
The mobile telephone initiated first is selected.

The „Comfort” mobile telephone interface
The „Comfort” mobile telephone interface enables the best possible transmission and reception through connection
to the vehicle's external aerial. Pairing takes place inductively and offers the means of connecting a mobile
telephone without physical connector to the vehicle's aerial system.
The „Comfort” mobile telephone interface can be combined as an option with Composition Media, Discover Media
and Discover Pro. It features an additional, data-enabled USB connection. The „Comfort” mobile telephone
interface consists of the following main components:

• Storage compartment with interface for mobile telephone R265 in the centre console with coupling aerial
• Two-way signal amplifier for mobile telephone/data services J984

Prote AG.

The internet connection can also be made using a SIM

card. The requirements for this are:
• A Discover Pro with „Premium” mobile telephone
interface
• A data-enabled SIM card
To connect to the internet, the SIM card has to be
inserted in the SIM card reader.

The car stick

The car stick is a USB stick with an integrated modem
that can only be used in the vehicle. The car stick is
also referred to as a UMTS stick. After inserting a
SIM card, the stick can be fitted in a vacant USB
socket in the vehicle. Only after entering the
SIM card PIN is a connection to the internet made.
Data transfer between the car stick and the operating
and display unit of the MIB is via the USB interface.

„Dynaudio Confidence” sound system

The Infotainment system can also come with the sound package „DYNAUDIO Confidence” in connection with the
devices Composition Media, Discover Media and Discover Pro. With this sound package, the digital sound
package control unit J525 provides 700 watts of power to supply 8 loudspeakers, a dual coil bass loudspeaker
(subwoofer) and a centre loudspeaker. By using a centre loudspeaker and the loudspeakers for the mid-tone
frequency range, which are new additions, a perfectly balanced sound is created for the interior of the Passat. The
centre loudspeaker is integrated into the middle of the upper part of the dash panel. The digital sound package
control unit J525 is a 16-channel amplifier, of which 13 of the channels are actively used.

The MirrorLink function

With this function, customers have the option of mirroring the screen of their smartphone on the display of the
infotainment system. Using the „MirrorLink” connection, the smartphone can also be controlled via the touchscreen
of the infotainment system. The connection is made using the USB data cable of the smartphone.
In the Passat, the „MirrorLink” standard V.1.1 is used. This makes it possible to display certified apps even when the
vehicle is in motion.

A list of compatible smartphones can be found on the Volkswagen homepage under the heading Technology, in
the chapter Infotainment. „MirrorLink” is only supported by android smartphones.

Prerequisite
The prerequisite to use the function is a „MirrorLink”-enabled smartphone with an active internet connection and
„MirrorLink” activated in the vehicle. If the function is not enabled as the user chose not to select the option when
the vehicle was ordered, it can be retro-fitted with software as a product (SwaP). To use „MirrorLink”, at least
Composition Media must be installed.

After creating a connection between the smartphone and infotainment system using the USB data cable,
certification of the hardware is performed first. This involves checking the infotainment system to determine whether
the telephone supports „MirrorLink”. If this is the case, the „MirrorLink” connection is made and the smartphone
display is mirrored on the screen of the infotainment system. If the user launches an app, a check is carried out via
the internet connection as to whether this app is „MirrorLink”-enabled. The relevant certificate is downloaded if the
result is positive. The smartphone and radio navigation system now compare the certificate information. If the
certificate is confirmed, the app can be shown on the screen of the radio navigationolksystem while the vehicle is in

Preparation for Media Control

The physical mounting consists of a bracket on the back of the driver and front passenger seats. A retainer from the
Volkswagen accessories programme is inserted into this bracket. It is then possible to attach the Volkswagen iPad
adapter or the portable Volkswagen DVD player to the fitted retainer. Preparation for Media Control offers a 12V
power supply for adapters and DVD players.
