How to Play Videos in the Touareg?
3 Answers
The original system of the Touareg cannot play videos. To play videos on the original car system, modifications are required, or videos can be played by inserting a USB drive. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Exterior: The exterior design is considered the epitome of SUV aesthetics. It has been upgraded based on the family-style design, making the Touareg's personality more prominent. The front face features Volkswagen's signature style, complemented by LED headlights. The rear design is relatively understated, while the side profile gives a sense of dynamism with a diving-like appearance, showcasing strong design elements. 2. Interior: However, the interior materials are somewhat ordinary, with a mediocre feel, and the overall look appears somewhat outdated.
In my daily drives with the Touareg, playing videos for my kids in the car is a common occurrence, and the operation is quite straightforward. Typically, I first store the videos using a USB or SD card. The USB port in the Touareg is located below the center console. After inserting the drive, I lightly tap the screen to select the ‘Media’ menu, then enter the video option to start playback, with MP4 being the most commonly supported format. For safety, the system automatically locks video playback while driving, so it’s only usable when parked, such as during camping or at rest stops for the kids to watch cartoons. Additionally, connecting via smartphone, like iPhone CarPlay or Android Android Auto, allows streaming videos from the phone, but avoid distractions while driving. If issues arise, like unrecognized files, check that the video resolution doesn’t exceed system limits—1080p is the safest bet. If problems persist, try restarting the multimedia system or updating the software. Developing a habit of only playing videos when parked is always a good practice.
I find the entertainment system in the Touareg very user-friendly, with multiple ways to play videos while prioritizing safety. Prepare a video file on a USB drive or SD card, insert it into the corresponding port in the car, navigate to the menu page, select the video source, and start playback—formats like MP4 or AVI are compatible. I also frequently try screen mirroring from my phone, such as connecting via CarPlay. After pairing via Bluetooth, I can open an app to watch videos, but only when the car is parked. While driving, the system automatically blocks video functions as a safety design to prevent distractions and potential accidents. If a video doesn’t display, it might be due to a corrupted file. It’s best to check the media quality in advance or re-transfer the file. Carrying a USB drive during outings is convenient for family entertainment, but I never take risks while driving—protecting myself is the top priority.
