LEAKED: Volkswagen Might Show This Full TFT Display, Infotainment System at CES (Video)
Volkswagen announced Friday it would show off “developments in electromobility as well as the next generation of connectivity” at the Consumer Electronics Show next month in Las Vegas.
“For instance, Volkswagen will give quite a clear glimpse of the latest developments in in-car infotainment that are on the verge of being launched onto the market. This will see innovations such as the Golf R Touch concept car finding their way into Volkswagen’s broad product portfolio,” the automaker said in a statement.
That’s probably possibly what we’re looking at here in a B-roll video made by the automaker obtained by TTAC through less-than-official channels.
Pictures from the video give us a pretty good idea of what we’re looking at here. You can watch the video below to see it in action yourself.
A full TFT display for the driver, a feature that’s never been offered before on the Volkswagen Golf, and an updated infotainment system certainly could be what the automaker is talking about when it mentions technology “on the verge of being launched onto the market.”
In addition to the updated TFT display and infotainment unit, there appears to be a wireless charging mat in the center console.
We’ll have to wait until CES to see what else Volkswagen has to show us.

- Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
- Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
- Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
- Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
- Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.

It should have an option for real-time emissions data. We could begin to trust if we could verify. Now when that video jukebox goes belly-up, how much will a replacement unit cost? And, will the car run only with the original set-up, like the VWs that required the original radio to remain installed?
Without major driver-assist features, most of this interactivity will need to be disabled when the vehicle is in motion. Someone needs to be doing the paying attention and driving bit.
