At the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas (5th to 8th of January), Volkswagen will unveil a new mobile app that allows customers to manage all of their mobility and infotainment services via an individual Volkswagen User IDs on a digital platform called the Volkswagen Ecosystem. This makes it easy for customers to configure their personal settings, integrate any services from third-party sources and port them wherever they wish.
Regardless of which Volkswagen model they step into (personal or rental car), in the future, the car will always prepare their favourite music, configure the display screen and make the right seat adjustments, creating a totally new user experience.
Available for download in the App Store (iOS) and at Google Play (Android), visitors at the CES can experience the Volkswagen Ecosystem mobile app first-hand. Visitors use the app to create their own profile – i.e. a Volkswagen User-ID set up for the show – with new, innovative functions that are assigned to the user. At the individual user stations, visitors at the show can quickly and easily input and configure these settings for their personal ID. Many different functions, such as selecting a favourite ambient light setting, can be performed directly within the app itself. All settings can be stored online and in the Connected Car, visitors can try out their personal digital world live.
Along with individual connectivity, Volkswagen is also offering a look at future intuitive controls that go beyond touch and gesture control. Aside from that, the German automaker will also debut its I.D. electric concept car to the public for the first time.
