carplay

Hi all, I’m looking to enable Apple CarPlay via App Connect on my 66 plate T6. I get that we need to do this via the dealer or a 3rd party SD card, but I also understand we need a ‘special’ USB port in the first instance. I’m fairly sure I have it already, but just to confirm, does this look...

Here is my Discover Media head unit. All working and unlocked for CarPlay with the genuine USB socket for wired or go wireless with the Car2play dongle or similar (I will throw it in as a bonus if I can find it but no promises) and included is the OEM Nav card which I have updated but not...

Hiya, we’ve looking to get Apple CarPlay set up in our van. We were told that a VW dealership could do this for about three hundred quid. Aside from getting a new head unit, does anyone know of a cheaper way of doing it? Thanks in advance!

The topic seems to have been raised many times but I can't seem to find a resolution, so apologies for raising this again. I have a brand new t6.1 with standard media, when using apple car play the person on the other end gets an echo on the phone, this happens for calls using the phone what...

I see that there has been quite a bit of discussion about problems with the touch screen on the head unit. (I have an iphone which I always plug in and I normally use Carplay all the time on even the shortest journey) Firstly, I had small patches on the screen that would not repond. Then I had...

Having a clear out of the garage at the weekend and due to various upgrades on my van I have quite a few bits of sale that were taken off my new van with around 2000 miles on the clock at the time so all in great condition. Sensible offers welcome, please DM me if your interested in any of the...

I know there have been a few discussions on here about this before, but I am yet to find the solution. I have the Alpine 705d fitted which is integrated with the factory USB connection on the dash of my T6, which all worked fine with my iPhone 13 Pro. Since I got an iPhone 15 Pro and use a USB...

Hi all I know this has been asked before a million times but I’m struggling to find any clear solutions. I have a T6.1 Highline, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto isn’t working via USB-C, even though my phones charge through the ports. When I say not working I mean it won’t even recognise the phone...

Are the carlinkit adapters the best units to buy for wireless carplay with Apple iPhone? Do they work with T6 headunit? I'm looking at the Carlinkit 5.0 2air and currently have an iPhone 12.

Hi, first post as a new member. I’ve just recently purchased a 2017 T6 shuttle with a head unit that has App connect for android auto, apple carplay and mirrorlink. Android auto works instantly when plugged in, apple car play doesn’t recognise my iPhone plugged in. Also in the connection...

Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter Plugs into the USB port (USB-A but supplied with USB-C adapter) and allows wireless connect of CarPlay or Android Auto to your CarPlay or Android Auto headunit! This will not convert a non-enabled headunit into a CarPlay unit, it's just a wireless link. It...

Hello all I have a 2020 T6.1 Startline with the Composition Colour head-unit. It's pretty basic and will probably get replaced with an Alpine Halo unit in the future but I have other part of my build that need to get done first so it's going to have to wait for the budget to allow for it to be...

Hi. I'm new to the forum, so hopefully, I'm posting this in the right place. I just bought a T6.1 Startline LWB 1.9 (2021 reg). The head unit has the capability to allow Apple Play, but this is not enabled. I got a message saying to contact the dealer to get this changed. I called VW, and they...

New to me T6 2018 Have Discover Media Pro. Have this screen. However when connecting iPhone, the phone charges ok but the above screen doesn’t change and CarPlay doesn’t kick in? Nothing happens. I’ve tried: 2 genuine cables 2 iPhones Head unit Factory reset The USB next to the...

Hello everyone, I bought the app Connect off of eBay as a 'cheap upgrade' for my 2016 T6 Headunit. It was a long process in which I actually ended up having to buy a new screen for £200 as I had a dead spot and some gel leak which meant I couldn't go back. It has all been installed fine now...

There are loads of options available so I'm going around the internet like a mad man.... Looked at the 360 models but unsure what to get. Mine is a 2017 T6 and I would like: Reverse camera facility Apple carplay wireless Touch screen Phone onbviously Steering wheel finctions. What should I...

Hi, We think we have found 'the van'...although it doesn't have A/C. The age vans we have been looking at don't have carplay, so were thinking of getting it enabled retrospectively. Some of the companies that offer the carplay service offer an air con fit. Does anyone have any experiences of...

Hello, We have a Volkswagen T6 from 2016 on which the stereo screen has air bubbles (The screen is not working correctly) See attached picture Do you think is it possible to fix it or we have to replace it ? Which model do you recommend if a replacement is needed ? Have a nice day

Does anyone else have issues with connecting a iPhone 15 via cable to CarPlay on a T6.1. iPhone 14 is fine but no joy with 15 pro. Used original apple cable as thought it was a data issue.

Dropping a few notes in here as I just finished fitting an Atoto F7 headunit to my T6 Transporter and it was tough getting DIY details. I bought to Atoto F7XE unit from Amazon and I figured it was worth an effort trying to fit it and have wireless carplay and 10in screen for a fraction of the...
