I've asked for the part number but they won't give it to me!

The original USB socket was replaced with an identical one. No change. Android worked, Apple didn't. Then they changed the USB for a 'Retrofit Apple compatible' USB socket and everything fell into place.

Apple compatible USB port?

What on earth does that mean?!

They've been making Mk7's with CarPlay for years before the Clubby came out, how did they somehow use a different part for it and how on earth was it incompatible?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

A quick google...

Seems it might be some sort of Apple software buggery...

Anyone else, try:

If your iphone when plugged through usb to your car only charges but fails to play music you should go to settings > Face ID and passcode > scroll down and turn on USB accessories

I don't use Apple stuff, so can't tell if that makes any sense, but have just read a huge list of people moaning about it not working with cars...

Interesting you can retro fit this.

Do you know if my older 2014 Mk7 GTI could be upgraded to apply car play too?

Thanks

No, you can't. You need a MIB2 unit or newer, the older ones didn't have the hardware for AA/CP.

There are a few companies offering to install/upgrade but you are looking at about £900+ for it
