Hi, It's a commonly asked question and the same scenario I faced when I had my halo 11 connected up. Ultimately the branded Alpines kenwoods and pioneers etc. Will never have the licencing rights to mirror Android auto or carplay, these units and other official Android operating system units may...
I have also recently bought an iphone 15 pro and it wouldn't connect to my Kenwood DNX 9180 DABS head unit. I have a T6 and the Kenwood doesn't support wireless car play I tried several leads including the apple version and nothing worked. I have now purchased an Ottocast U2 Air pro and all...
AA wireless unit, brand new in box. These are a way to run wireless andriod on a wired only headunit. Good bits of kit but take about 4 months to arrive, so long in my case that it was no longer required.

This is the one I went for as I’m only using iPhones, think you need to go for the 4.0...
...into this again. Sorry chaps!
@Absolut5 i have a T6.1 kombi highline, with the factory HU, parking sensors and reverse camera.
What would you recommend I do to upgrade the HU to something better that retains all the factory options including the USBC ports, but also has wirelessCarPlay aswel?
This is a great project.
I wish that I could buy a device that enables me to have wired/wireless Apple CarPlay:
Touch screen
Double DIN sized screen
powered by the van
no radio (don’t listen to it)
no cd (don’t use them)
no dab (don’t listen to it)
no satnav (always use waze)

Thanks for that information, I had ordered the Bluetooth addapter but hopefully I've managed to cancel the order.
Yes, my head unit only has bluetooth for phone calls and message's. Its a another VW money maker.
That sounds interesting! Mind sharing a link?

I need to pop out my trim to find the USB sockets that dropped down, bit nervous about damaging it! Hoping to pop to Halfords or similar to get a cheap trim...
Basically the replacement circuit board cant supply enough power for the iphone 15 so doesnt work at all for either just charging in the upper port or charging and car play on lower port. The carplay issue isnt a problem since the unit has wireless connection. Below is the email Kenwood sent to...
Some good replies in here
I have also noticed this with the 2 T6.1s I borrowed. They both crackled quite badly when the phone was connected to the USB-C port.
I think the ultimate fantasy van spec for me would have to have a sunroof, as per my OP I'd like fantasy rear electric sliding windows...
