The Volkswagen Golf Mk8's rollout in Europe has been plagued by software issues, prompting the folks from Wolfsburg to recall tens of thousands of cars in 2020. The emergency call function and reversing camera have been the main culprits, but VW had to address an even bigger problem. Owners have complained about the infotainment system being glitchy and too slow to respond to the user’s input.
VW took notice of problems encountered by early adopters and decided to revamp the compact model's multimedia system. In mid-December 2021, the German brand announced a heavily revamped MIB3 infotainment with significant hardware improvements. The System on Chip (SOC) has 25 percent more computing power than before while the graphics card has triple the performance of its predecessor.
