What Owners Say
"Its happened a couple of times while Im driving and depending on the navigation. VW says its an issue with apple and that they expect the next update in October."
Anonymous, FL (2023 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"I can't play any music from a USB disk if a phone is connected. This sometimes works but 90% of the time it does not and there seems to be no reason why"
Anonymous A., NJ (2023 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"When Apple Car Play is active the internal GPS goes bonkers and shows that you are hundreds of miles away from where you actually are. I've never seen anything like it but this makes navigation either in CarPlay or in the internal navigation system impossible. This got somewhat better after a software update but still happens occasionally, again for no apparent reason"

"The rear back up camera stays on after you are driving. This doesn't bother me as I enjoy visual access to what's behind me, except that it also stops the radio while it's on?! When I took it in for service, they said it didn't happen for them and it didn't read a code for that at all (which is how they determine something is wrong, they hook it up to a machine that tells them where a malfunction is and they fix/ replace whatever code). The other issue with the rear back up camera is that when I am driving, an error message box intermittently pops up that says, "Rear back up camera not detected". Nothing serious, just blocks my console for a few seconds and alerts me, although, in excess of 60mph when I am not in reverse, it's an automatic, so not shifting either. Both dealerships, the service techs said it didn't happen to them and no codes, so they couldn't do anything about it. I said I could take a picture and I could show them, they said it had to happen with them in the car (photo wouldn't help if it wasn't reading a code)."
