On the T6.1 it is wireless app connectThe App Connect isn’t wireless. Your phone needs to be plugged into the USB-C port. The screen is small, but bigger than my phone screen. I run Waze as sat nav for the cost of a usb to usb-c adaptor
Thanks. So yours is the standard Nav and head unit then? Did you think (or were you told) it was wireless before you purchased it? It's always so unclear when ticking the option boxes! Having a bigger screen would be great but not sure if it's actually worth the money.The App Connect isn’t wireless. Your phone needs to be plugged into the USB-C port.

Oh I see. Apologies. I thought all head units had Sat Nav of some sort. What cheap skates! So you don't feel like you're missing out by not having the full nav / bigger screen? Was it a conscious decision not to have it or down to budget?Mine isn’t sat nav. It’s Apple car play (or android auto) So it screen mirrors my phone. You can use Apple maps, or Waze as a map, or nav. Then all the other bits like messages, podcasts, WhatsApp etc. But via a usb cable. I’ve got rear view camera option (coz tailgate) that works fine on the screen
The standard, Highline head unit, on the T6.1, isn’t wireless. I’m not sure on the factory option nav.
So can you control your Iphone Nav through the head unit or do you still need to be able to have access to it whilst driving? My van will be used for work 99% of the time but because that’s when I only ever really do any driving I want it to be specced up correctly from the start. I’ll be buying it outright too so maybe that will make a difference? I just don’t want to miss the upgraded Nav off only to wish I had it later on if it adds other features or value. Trouble is I can’t find concrete information anywhere. Even on here people are still confused so I’ve got no chance but to add it I guess. Over £1k is a lot though!On my t6, I had my phone in a cradle, and used that for nav. Now on the 6.1 it’s on the dash screen, I’m well happy. Mine is a work van/mobile workshop, that I lease, So adding options is big money, that I’ll never see again. Different story if you buy, then sell on/ use as your ‘car’ etc. I go for things like, big wheels, side bars, roof rails, I’ve swapped from my 5.1 to 6 and now 6.1.
Can you use Spotify Through app connect? If so, is it with 100% functionality like on a phone?
I have the same unit as you in my T6.1 Highline and I have to connect via cable to the usb-c. Can’t see any option for wireless connection.Now with it plugged in
Yes I use Spotify through the app connect.Can you use Spotify Through app connect? If so, is it with 100% functionality like on a phone?
