As the automotive dashboard world turns digital, Volkswagen is leading the way with its Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, a high-resolution digital display that replaces the traditional analog dashboard gauge cluster. In addition to the basic gauges like a speedometer, the Digital Cockpit offers customizable views and access to vehicle information like navigation and safety features, all within the driver’s line of sight.
Understanding the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit
Customizable Features
Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit is a fully customizable digital dash display that is available in most Volkswagen models. While it displays the usual information like speed and RPM, it also can be customized to display things like fuel economy, maps, and hands-free phone connectivity. Drivers will benefit from having performance and diagnostic data delivered directly to their dashboard, making for a more informative commute or long trip.
Because the Digital Cockpit is fully customizable, the driver can choose the information they want displayed. You have the option of saving different display configurations for different drivers or for different driving conditions, like a regular commute or a long drive. The features included in Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit include:
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Altimeter
- Fuel economy
- Compass
- Navigation
- Driving range
- Phone
- Safety features
- Plus model-exclusive features
Additional Benefits of the Digital Cockpit
Beyond the basics described above, Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit offers additional features that will make the driver’s experience safer, more informed and more pleasant. Let’s start with the high-resolution display. It consists of a large thin-film transistor, or TFT display, with a 1440 by 540-pixel resolution. Size and resolution of the display may vary depending on the VW model.
The digital display is strategically placed right in front of the steering wheel and in the driver’s direct line of sight. This allows the driver to make phone calls or check navigation without taking their eyes off the road.
Safety and Navigation
Depending on the safety and navigation features that a buyer may opt for, the Digital Cockpit can relay important information about navigational settings and safety features like adaptive cruise control. Lastly, with phone connectivity, you can display your contact list in the Digital Cockpit, allowing you to control your phone with your steering wheel buttons.
