I understand cars before 2015 did not have CarPlay.  Then it became possible to buy it as an option new.  Or it can be “enabled” by a dealer or similar. 
This Andrew Chappel vid might help, even tho he’s discussing the R.

Thanks for your reply.
I have entered info into CHATGPT and it's saying I have everything installed but not activated.
I need to get VW dealership to provide an activation key (at a cost) then have it installed.
My question is: does this HAVE to be done by VW or can any other service carry it out?
Thanks.
