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 [s]probably[/s] 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.

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.

I really wish there was a switch on the passenger side that would disable the lock somehow. That's impractical for a lot of reasons, but it's really frustrating when you're in the passenger seat and you aren't allowed to program the GPS.

@VCplayer One way would be to enable the more distracting features by detecting the presence of a passenger. They could also detect how distracted, drowsy or impaired the driver is. They could incorporate voice command for navi and other functions. It won't be simple, but they will need to figure out what makes sense and isn't annoying to the driver either.
