Not what you want to hear, but no issues with iphone XR or iphone 12 in our Polo 'United' Surely the evidence is that it's your USB socket or head unit that has a problem? You can't be that unlucky that you've twice chosen specific iphone models that are a problem. The evidence suggests it’s the ca...

Some kind person relieved me of my iPhone at the ice rink, so I bought myself a brand new iPhone X. That was a nightmare, the PayPal payment kept failing, eventually I discovered that Nationwide had disabled my cards, then when they were reenabled, eBay refused to take payment. Several days later, s...

I’d buy an electric car were I buying today. However selling a 3.5 year old Polo, and buying an EV isn’t financially worthwhile, best run the Polo into the ground. Of course EVs are coming down in price each year. The elephant in the room is taxation. Currently an EV avoids fuel duty, but as they be...

I had the standard Up for six years, I loved it, cleverly designed, cheap to run, surprisingly spacious. However, it just doesn’t grip the road like a Polo, presumably a combination of short wheel base, and light weight. It was noticeably noisier than my Polo, and it did have exposed metal panels in...

Thanks, updating as I write. Even Bluetooth is unreliable, Spotify regularly stops, and the Music app takes over.

I tested a friend’s iPhone 6s today and CarPlay crashed the ICE after a few seconds. Clearly this is a software/firmware issue, in iOS or the VW Polo. Fortunately Bluetooth works well, I can play music and charge the iPhone at the same time, it’s not as good as CarPlay and there’s no sat nav. A fri...

Yes I keep the revs down and I am getting about 67 mpg and above in the warmer weather (calculated from fuel in and miles covered). I sometimes block change from third to fifth, I don’t know if that is good or not for mpg. At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s also worth keeping a good gap betwe...

I'm running an iphone XR via cable/USB and no problems here at all. The 7 is getting on a bit and maybe your lightning port is dirty, there are online tips for cleaning them. I prefer the sound via bluetooth audio, TBH, but I like the charging and graphics of the cable option so I use that. I clean...

Why not try carplay2air you plug it into the USB port and it connects to your phone by WiFi and plays cable less been using it for over 2 years now with no Problems Because my phone won’t recharge from the USB port. I guess it’s an option, although I don’t want to spend a lot of money to find it do...

You must have parked next to a nuclear reactor.

See my thread. I have a similar issue, 18 plate Polo, my iPhone 7 no longer works with CarPlay. It connects, then after 5-10 seconds it disconnects. I assumed it was my iPhone’s lightning socket, but after reading your post I am not so sure. This started happening a few days ago. Before then I’d som...

I use my iPhone 7 with CarPlay, the connection has never been great, sometimes it refused to connect, sometimes the ICE rebooted for no reason, but now CarPlay crashes every few seconds, so basically unusable. I swapped the lightning cable, I changed the USB socket, no improvement, so I doubt it’s t...

Not sure I would have noticed that, but you’re right.
