Premium VIII

Audio

Important Safety Instructions and Warnings which you must read, are listed on the last panel under PREMIUM VIII AUDIO.

HD Radio™ Programming. HD Radio™ is totally free programming, offering crystal clear sound—FM stations have CD-quality sound, while AM stations sound like FM stereo. HD Radio™ also offers more variety, as many FM stations broadcast extra HD multicast channels.

HD Radio™ Signal Interruption. When leaving the HD coverage area, HD1 channels will switch to the analog signal, while HD2/ HD3 channels will cut off completely, without gradual fading; this is normal. The signal will refresh as you drive.

SiriusXM® Satellite Radio. New Volkswagen vehicles come with a three-month trial subscription to the Sirius Select package. Infrequently, tall buildings and tunnels may interrupt the satellite signal; this is normal. The signal will refresh as you drive. For more information, please refer to the SiriusXM® brochure in your glove box.
