Apple CarPlay
« on: 18 March 2022, 12:25 »
Hi
Is there anyway of getting Apple CarPlay on my 2016 mk7 without having to pay the exorbitant price of £200+ to the dealer for a “code”.

Thanks

I don’t think so. It might be worth speaking to one or two companies that specialist in VW retrofits though to see what - if any - alternative options there are.

Be aware that not all MIB2 infotainment units are CarPlay compatible (some of the early ones weren’t).
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

You can get Apple Carplay a lot cheaper than what a dealer charges. Guy up here in North East does it.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

You also got to replace the USB port
