What’s new for your MK8 or 8Y
Three new ways to drive your MK8 or 8Y.
The MK8 is a fantastic car, but much of what made earlier generations fun moved behind screens. This fall, your tune moves onto that screen, and the S3 gets a chassis upgrade.

New tune feature
CarPlay + Siri
Your tune, on the same screen they took the knobs from.
New for every tune with adjustable features
In April we launched tune suites with LIVE adjustable features you change from your phone, in real time. Now you can make the same adjustments on your CarPlay screen. Or just ask Siri.
Already running adjustable features? You already have this. Just update the POWERlink app.
This is an interactive demo that simulates the CarPlay experience. Tap the tabs and controls to try it. The real POWERlink app on your car’s screen may look slightly different.
