Yes, you can, until you enter the destination and press start. Then it switches the car navigation off.

Sorry to resurrect this thread. Wife's GTI+ has factory sat nav fitted. I'm sure this may have been answered earlier in the thread, but can anyone confirm whether the factory nav re-routes in the event of an accident/lane closure etc.? If so, do you have to turn this functionallity on - wife says hers is not re-routing? Many thanks.

I don't think it does reroute. It doesn't seem like it is aware of changing traffic conditions to reroute dynamically. J have used mine 3 times. There are better options on your mobile phone.

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I'm useless with technolgy, so we'll just have to make do. We've only just got smartphones this year and I still I don't know how to get it operating in the car, never mind use apps in it.

There's some really helpful videos on YouTube. With most modern phones (Android/Apple) it's pretty much plug in and go.

To be fair it's hardly much different on current gen units. It's still plug & go essentially.

Just in case anyone is interested, the sat nav does have dynamic route capability, but this will only work if "Dynamic Route" is ticked in the sat nav menu. :)
