carplay

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...

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...

Can you connect your ipod/iphone directly into the head unit via a USB/C lead and not rely on Bluetooth? If where is the socket, I only seem to have two USC charging points by the lower cupholder.

I’m not sure if this is common knowledge yet but after my van went in for its 1st service I mentioned the stereo fault on the car play and was told there is a recall coming later in the year which doesn’t involve a return but a do it yourself system update. Nice to know that it’s on its way!!

Hello everyone I’m sorry if this has already been posted. I have a late 2016 Caravelle. It has a Composition a media radio with 1 Apple CarPlay USB in the passenger glove box I want to add a second USB into the centre glove box, but in order to do that I need to change the USB Hub in the...

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 does anyone know if I can buy a second hand T6 stereo and make CarPlay work alongside ensuring my parking sensors still work. Or do i have to go down the aftermarket route ie Kenwood etc? Thank you

Hello, Probably on here already but I can’t find it ! My 2015 T6 Kombi plays music from my phone ok most of the time but I noticed it stops a lot when I’m on king journeys. Not sure if it’s because it’s plugged into charge on longer journeys. Do you think updating the VW head unit software...

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...
