AFAIK (stand to be corrected) all the MIB II units built after a certain date have app connect (android Auto Apple Car Play and Car-Net) built in, but unless you paid in advance or have it as standard equipment, when VW are coding the infotainment system at build time, this feature isn't activated (it's hidden).

The code is required for a VW dealer to connect the car to their VAS system and connect to the factory and download the "feature" onto the car using the code purchased. I don't think any other hardware or software needs to be purchased.

From the current VW brochure it states

APP-CONNECT (ACTIVATION DOCUMENT)
Activation document for retrospective activation of the
App-Connect function which includes three pieces of software:
MirrorLink, ‘CarPlay’ (Apple) and ‘Android Auto’ (Google). App-
Connect mirrors specific apps for Android smartphones and
Apple iPhones on the touch-screen of Composition Media,
Discover Media or Discover Pro. The MirrorLink function mirrors
the mobile phone’s screen on the display of the radio system
or the radio-navigation system.
Part Number: 5G0054830A
£218.00 including fitting

I solely use App-connect (CarPlay), pretty much never use the other in-built system at all.  It’s a good feature.
