Hey guys, I appreciate this may have been addressed here before but cant seem to find it. Anyway, I just got my license and bought my first car, a 66 Plate VW polo match.
I really dont know the first thing about cars but have a question about the composition media. Having looked around the net, from what i can gather im not able to get app connect added to my composition media. Mine has the mute button on it and no mention of app connect on the display, which is fair enough. However there is also no mention of mirror link in the menu either. Anyone know if it is possible at all to get this on my system. As a new driver it would be really handy to be able to get a map up on the screen, and id prefer to not have to buy a designated sat nav device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dont know if this is any help, but my system information is as follows...
Device part number: 3Q0035820A
Hardware: H24
Software: 0245
Media Codec: 2101.0.0.10
Thanks in advance

Re: New Driver, first Polo. Composition media question
The subject has been aired many times in these forums since about last October, and probably before that too. And there was a couple of threads on the subject just a matter of days ago. So, I suggest you simply scroll down through all the subjects in this Mk8/9 2009 -17 Forum and pick out and read any showing the keywords "sat nav", "composition media", "app connect", "infotainment system","head unit", and the like. There's little point in us repeating in this particular thread of yours all of what's been previously discussed, unless there's a different aspect to open up. I seem to recall that one of those past threads on sat nav installation concerned System Information details, which you've quoted here for your own vehicle, so that one might prove of particular interest to you.
Let us all know what conclusions you draw.

Re: New Driver, first Polo. Composition media question
I had mirror link from the factory and it only allows certain functions with certain apps.
I have changed my unit to one that allows for app connect but there still may be issues with getting it enabled.

Hmmm - I have 66 plate (BlueGt) and the media unit has App-connect on it, so yours may just need a software upgrade. Perhaps you could ask your local VW dealer ?

Once fitted needed coding to car due to Component Protection. I can recommend www.vagcarcoding.com where Alex connected remotely and successfully cleared the unit. He can also supply the necessary App-connect software and activate it for you. Find details on their Facebook page.
