I note that a lot of the new T Rocs are equipped with a MIB3 discover system. Any clever people on here know if there are any upgrades that can be performed?

Not sure on upgrades but I'm certain that they have wireless carplay

From what I understand they have functionality to stream spotify etc direct from the car itself without a phone - not sure if a paid subscription for internet will be required?

I also read somewhere that VW would be allowing alexa to be installed - I would imagine MIB3 would be the standard to allow it

The MY21's should be coming with MIB3 lets see!

Are you sure this MIB3 is a MY21 change across the board? I don't remember seeing it in the list of changes. I know it's fitted to the T-Roc cabrio model but I don't think any other models are getting it until the facelift next year.

edit: seems you're right, the whole lineup is getting MIB3. I figured they'd cheap out on the T-Roc as usual and keep the 2.5 system it had until now.

I wonder how feasible a retrofit would be. Native wireless CarPlay would be awesome but when I looked at a MIB upgrade for my old Golf it was like ÂŁ2,000.

Hi twist

Oh I'm just speculating based on the other models. T-Roc has been gen 1 since 2017 so it's likely that next year could see the "facelift" model. Basically it would get a slight aesthetic revision but nothing too major. More significant changes than the yearly "Model Year" changes but not really a brand new version. Usually bumpers get changed, maybe DRLs get a new design, more creases in the bodywork, tail light cluster changes, etc. interior might get an overhaul with more storage (or probably less if history teaches us anything about VW).

The Golf 7 was released late 2012 and facelift (7.5) late 2016. Tiguan 2 came in 2016 with a facelift earlier this year so it would follow that usually around the 4 year mark is where they release a facelift model so I'm guessing it may be mid to late 2021 we could see the first T-Roc facelift.
