android auto

I had a thought yesterday whilst using Carista - if it had a CarPlay / Android Auto companion app, it could feasibly allow you to make a custom selection of readings / gauges to display on your head unit whilst driving. I emailed their customer service to suggest it. I was thinking that I’d...

On my last T6 paid for factory sat nav/head unit and found the satnav to be pretty crap. So this time decided to just go with standard head unit and use my phone connected via android auto for calls and satnav. its driving me nuts, sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn’t Can be...

Hey all, I have a 2021 T6.1 with the attached head unit. I think I'm doing something wrong or have missed a setting as even VW wouldn't design something this bad! If I have a phone (Android) plugged in with a cable and switch the engine off and then turn the engine back on without...

Hi friends every time I plug my android into the system I get these messages which I can't get rid off...if anyone knows how to sort that will be a big help..its rather distracting ! I stop the vehicle to look and the message dissapears ! Cheers

Hi - I have a 2019 T6 with factory fitted composition colour infotainment system. I'm assuming it's never had any update (not sure where to obtain any updates). Just wondering if there is any way of getting this system to work with Android Auto or Apple Car play? Thanks V much.

Has anyone used a Motorola MA1 to connect to Andriod Auto? I want to make my connection to the media unit wireless. Just got NR Coding to "fix" the software issue not allowing me to use my phone. VW said it could not be done on my 2016 T6 :sneaky:

Hi all, I've got an android double din headunit that I purchased about 5 years ago to fit to a BMW 1 series but we got rid of the car and it was never fitted. New out the box. I think it's a generic headunit in that it will fit any single din chassis but has a double din face. The screen...

Hi there experts Can i sanity check something as i look to get a new / used Van In a T6 you can only connect (to use Google maps / Spotify app etc) to an Android device via a wired USB connection? eg via a USB port in the Dash / comfort dash, if you have AppConnect pre-installed. There is...

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. £85 posted to anywhere in the uk. Thanks

Hi all, We are having a T6.1 converted currently, having the USB-C ports moved to the glovebox as we know we want to connect and hideaway a kit to make the CarPlay wireless. I’ve seen a few kits but they seem to do either iPhone or Android, and we would want to be connecting both. The...

I have just bought one of these (T-Box) Full Android AI Box - Convert Your Car Screen to Android Tablet for my 2018 T6, fitted with the Discovery Media System. Basically, when the AI box is plugged in to the vans usb, it connects via the Apple Car Play of the vehicle's infotainment system...

So... I got YouTube working on my basic colour composition head unit in my my T6.1 shuttle, but need to change the language to English

I plan on installing a 360 camera system on our LWB T6. The standard headunit will not accept a camera (oem or 3rd party), so I have to change it. As much as I would like to replace it with something like an Alpine or Kenwood unit, the funds available for this whole project do not stretch that...

OMG.. age is befuddling me :) Have a nice new T 6.1 Highline van,, I don't know if I've just set things up wrong.. but the connection between the phone (motoG6) and the Android in the van, via USB is so variable its laughable. It has worked with full maps google assist etc quite a few times...

I've got an up-to-date Google Pixel 3a, it has Android Auto installed, I'm using the original USB cable... but it won't connect. I've tried restarting everything and a different cable. I'm following the instructions on-screen as well as in the manual, and it's just repeating the same message...

Per the title - when I use google maps via my Android Auto, the route I'm to follow is very unclear. The youtube etc I've seen make it look like the road I'm to follow is clearly highlighted but on my head unit (discover media navigation system plus) the road looks like all the others. Hope this...

Not sure if this is of any help to anyone... I love the idea of being able to access Internet radio, etc, but absolutely refuse to pay the hideous price of the mobile data package offered by VW. On android (I'm sure there's others for ios) I've installed an app called Carspot ready, it turns...

I've got a T6.1 with the standard touchscreen infotainment system. When I plug in my phone to use Android Auto (AA), the van won't then allow me to listen to music from my phone. I can select "Radio" and listen to the radio, but if I select "BT Audio" the unit tells me my phone is already...

So I'm loving having Google Maps on the main screen in the van, but has anyone else had the following issue: One the van is connected to the phone, I'm then unable to play any audio from the phone - Google Music, Spotify etc., say they're playing, but there's no actual audio. I can still play...
