What is the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit?

When you drive with Volkswagen, you expect a superior experience behind the wheel. In 2019, Volkswagen hopes to give every driver a little something extra, and that’s why almost all new models come equipped with the fully-customizable Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. What is the new Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, and how will it improve your Scottsdale and Cave Creek drives? This new Volkswagen technology feature is essentially a high-tech version of the traditional instrument cluster, and it displays all of your essential gauges in a clear, easy-to-read, high-resolution format!

What Can You Do With the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit?

Since this feature replaces your gauge cluster, it can show you all of the information you’ll need to stay in control as you drive around Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills. You’ll even be able to set and switch between four distinct customizable views! Whether you set up views for different drivers, or for different scenarios, is completely up to you.  No matter which path you take, you’ll be able to choose any combination of the following, and display them on your high-resolution screen:

• Fuel economy
• Speedometer
• Tachometer
• Driving range
• Navigation information
• Phone calls and texts
• Safety feature information
• Altimeter
• Compass

You can also use the Digital Cockpit to adjust interior settings, including temperature, seating positions, side-mirror angles, and more!

Why Should You Choose a Vehicle with the Digital Cockpit?

The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit is available on almost every new vehicle in our lineup, but since it isn’t always offered on the base trim, you may have to upgrade to enjoy its many advantages and unique features. If you’re struggling to make a decision, just consider the following:

• 1440 by 540-pixel resolution makes the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit gauges very easy to see, so you’ll never have to strain your eyes to find the info you need.
• The large, 12.3-inch, thin-film transistor screen turns your vehicle spec displays into miniature works of art.
• Since the Digital Cockpit is located right above the steering wheel, it’s easier to see and enjoy without taking your eyes off the road. This feature is offered in addition to the primary touchscreen infotainment interface, which you’ll find in most new models.
• By placing navigation instructions and points-of-interest in an easy-to-see central location, it makes it even more fun to explore the surrounding area!
• You’ll have the option to connect each of your advanced safety features to the Digital Cockpit, so you can receive instant visual alerts from Front Assist or your Blind Spot Monitor. You can also display your Adaptive Cruise Control settings.
• Have you ever wanted to make and receive phone calls safely on the road? The VW Digital Cockpit makes it easy to search your contacts and control phone features with steering-wheel mounted controls.
