I can see what VW is trying to do here, and honestly out of the various rental cars I've driven over the past 6 months, my Golf R's Android Auto/Car Play integration has probably been one of the best. VW also has a history of people doing minor modifications of their cars electronics, both via the intended menus and for more complicated things, via the outstandingly named vagcom (VCDS)* I think this is the direction more automakers should go. I drove a friends Tesla the other day, and it shares some the same features, allowing you to make fairly specific customizations of certain things through the built in menu. *Some items which can be customized via the VCDS - DRL's, Windows Auto-Up/Auto-Down/etc, and a bunch of other things I can't remember anymore.
