carplay

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...

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...

Hey guys, Should be picking up my 2016 T6 Highline in a week or so. Does anyone know if the satnav system/headunit comes with Apple CarPlay or is it an extra? Thanks in advance!;)

Audio Question for the hive mind! I have the ‘crackling’ issue when using Apple Carplay. The software build is current, and the SOS unit has just been replaced. (It solved the WeConnect/Mic problems.) Searching through various forums doesn’t give me much hope that a solution is available via VW...

My Spotify Home Screen has randomly started to simply state "Nothing here"! No rhyme or reason to it! I have: Restarted both phone and vehicle. Reset with 30 sec press on power in head unit Tried different cables (both Apple genuine usb c) Reset customisation in phone CarPlay settings Removed...

I was inspired by Installing Apple Magsafe charger for iPhone 12 and thought that maybe someone will find my setup useful too. I wanted to make Carplay experience seamless and also being able to easily charge the phone if I need to. I am using ESR HaloLock charger which unlike most MagSafe...

How easy is it to upgrade the software on the composition colour head unit? Van is a 2017 Kombi (not sure if that makes a difference). Mainly I’m trying to add the logos to the radio station. Plus any other benefits of updating the software. Has anyone done this?

There are a bunch of threads on here with people reporting that USB CarPlay with their VW head units often disconnect. Some got around it by using a USB -> wireless adapter, others talk about replacing the USB port but that doesn't seem to always work. Is there a definitive root cause to this...

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...

It’s a few years old now but, still, I found it interesting to see how Apple brief head unit manufacturers. If anyone knows of a newer PowerPoint (eg iOS 16), please let me know...

Can any body help that’s understands apple connect we have a new vwt6.1 we are trying to connect CarPlay we can’t get past usb connection it won’t allow phone to connect we have tried everything

Anyone upgraded yet to iOS16 and tested the transition on their Discovery Media?

So my T6 is nearly 5 years old. Pretty much all the time I've had it, Applecar play has been a very unreliable feature of the van. Despite VW looking at it 3 or 4 times and once had its USB port replaced, its still no good. During this period I've had 3 different Ios phones. I've tried...
