Retro fitting Apple Car Play?

Post by Lhzbwz »

Hi! I have a Vw Polo AW (2018) and I am wondering if it’s possible to retro fit apple car play? I have spoken to two dealerships to ask them if it’s possible but they say due to the reason that I have the smaller display it’s not possible. It’s not possible to change to the larger touch display either. :?

Does anyone know if It’s possible for me to get apple car play at all? Maybe with a usb dongle or something else?

Short of replacing the entire unit, I don't believe so. Some versions (no idea about which one you have) have the hardware there but not activated- if so, pressing the 'menu' button will show 'App-Connect' as an option, and it can be activated by the dealer. If that option doesn't show up, then you're stuck with what you have unless you want to replace the entire system.
