YOUR TEAM

To support our AppStore team, we are currently looking for a working student. In your role you get first-hand experience in Infotainment and will be an integral part of the team that works on developing the App Store for the whole VW Group.  

Find the apps you like, integrated into your vehicle. Enjoy them seamlessly inside and outside of the car. Import destination addresses from your calendar, continue the podcast you started at home or listen to your favorite couch playlist while driving. We are building a highly connected software platform that enables deep integration of infotainment applications and innovative connected body functions to create a holistic vehicle experience for our customers. This is what we call One Infotainment. 

Be curious about what we already have in our pocket and bring also your own ideas into life.
