Remember that in September 2021, there was a saying circulating on the Internet that savoy Volkswagen in order to further save chips, the car products produced later will no longer be equipped with a radio and a central control screen, on the contrary, SAIC Volkswagen Langyi will leave a hole for the radio or the central control screen when it leaves the factory, and then the dealer will purchase the radio or the third-party central control screen and install it. Of course, the result is that some car networking systems fail, and the channels for car owners to interconnect through mobile phones and car machines are also cut off! Such rumors have not been confirmed or denied by SAIC Volkswagen, until recently, the previous rumors have really come true!
A few days ago, the Central Broadcasting Network issued an article saying that the relevant columns of the Central Broadcasting Network received complaints from a number of car owners, and the main reason for the complaint was that the 2021 Langyi car machine purchased by many car owners had suffered a reduction in allocation, and there was a lack of function of the car machine, as well as problems such as inconsistencies with the manufacturer's publicity, and the SAIC Volkswagen 4S store refused to solve the problem for the owner on the grounds of "lack of core" and "not a quality problem"!
Many car owners reported that the CAR-MACHINE SYSTEM EQUIPPED BY SAIC VOLKSWAGEN 2021 LANGYI, ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER, SHOULD SUPPORT THE SMART VEHICLE SYSTEM AND SUPPORT FUNCTIONS SUCH AS CAPLAY, BUT THESE CAR OWNERS SAID THAT THE MODELS THEY PURCHASED NOT ONLY DO NOT SUPPORT THE ABOVE FUNCTIONS, BUT ALSO APPEAR FROM TIME TO TIME BLACK SCREENS AND FREEZES. In contrast, these car owners found that the 2021 Langyi model with the above problems is not the original car machine, but the third-party Android central control screen, which is the auto parts city control screen we often talk about.
Since the installation is a non-original central control screen, it is naturally impossible to match the vehicle itself perfectly, so it is impossible to support CarPlay, nor can it display the relevant information of the vehicle in the central control screen, including fuel consumption, mileage and other aspects, which is also very normal! Of course, the entanglement of these consumers is that the vehicles sold to them by SAIC Volkswagen have completely different functions and advertised vehicle systems, and they are completely unaware of them before purchasing!
Of course, if you are familiar with SAIC Volkswagen's car machine system, without operating the car machine system, you can find the difference, according to the comparison pictures released by the Central Broadcasting Network, you can see that these SAIC Volkswagen Langyi equipped with Android screens, the screen selected and the original car screen are completely different in appearance, first of all, SAIC Volkswagen's original car machine, the left side has "menu", "home page", "switch machine", "volume plus", "volume reduction" A total of 5 buttons, but on the Android central control screen, only "home" "return", "volume plus" , "Volume Reduction" A total of 4 buttons! And there is a USB interface at the bottom right of the original car machine screen, which is not on the Android screen! The key problem is that although the interface UI of the Android screen is similar to that of the original car machine, the original car machine uses a fully fitted screen, while the Android car machine uses an internal and external double screen, and the display effect gap is very large!
In the face of complaints from car owners, most of SAIC Volkswagen dealers and 4S stores perfunctory car owners on the grounds of "lack of core" and "not quality problems". In fact, in the past year, SAIC Volkswagen is also facing a relatively serious chip shortage, but in any case, the lack of chips is a matter for manufacturers, and has nothing to do with consumers, and consumers do not have any obligation to pay for the shortage of chips in manufacturers. And the manufacturer's advertised car machine and the consumer actually got the hand of the car machine is completely different, this is not a simple quality problem, or a typical consumer fraud, manufacturers and dealers must have an unshirkable responsibility!
In fact, in the past two years, SAIC Volkswagen's sales have been showing a downward trend, with sales falling by 17.5% in 2021, and sales also ranked fourth after FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-GM and Geely Automobile! The continuous decline in sales does not seem to have sounded an alarm bell for SAIC Volkswagen, and the consequences of Passat's crash test in China Insurance Research Institute in December 2019 have not given SAIC Volkswagen a certain lesson at all, and SAIC Volkswagen has still shown a more than stable performance in defrauding consumers and reducing allocations! Langyi is one of the few best-selling products that SAIC Volkswagen can take at present, if SAIC Volkswagen still has to use the way of "hiding the sky and crossing the sea" to respond to consumer demand, in order to sell regardless of the rights and interests of consumers, then this car is not impossible to be abandoned by the market and consumers in the future, SAIC Volkswagen can think about how strong the previous Passat was, and how lonely it was later!
