I have also recently bought an iphone 15 pro and it wouldn't connect to my Kenwood DNX 9180 DABS head unit. I have a T6 and the Kenwood doesn't support wireless car play I tried several leads including the apple version and nothing worked. I have now purchased an Ottocast U2 Air pro and all...
Hi everyone,
Just an update to support people with the Alpine 9 & 11 head units. If you are experiencing connection issues with wirelessCarPlay please update your head units' firmware. using the following link which has the firmware and instructions. CLICK ME PLEASE NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO...
AA wireless unit, brand new in box. These are a way to run wireless andriod on a wired only headunit. Good bits of kit but take about 4 months to arrive, so long in my case that it was no longer required.
£85 posted to anywhere in the uk.
Thanks
Basically the replacement circuit board cant supply enough power for the iphone 15 so doesnt work at all for either just charging in the upper port or charging and car play on lower port. The carplay issue isnt a problem since the unit has wireless connection. Below is the email Kenwood sent to...
Both my ‘24 Kombi and my colleague ‘73 PV have the upgraded Discover Media and we are experiencing the same issue where by when the ignition is fitter turned on and the engine started the iPhone connects instantly to the Wireless Apple CarPlay then about 20 seconds later it disconnects, the...
Depends which HU you have ... if it supports wirelessCarPlay (which will mean turning the WiFi in the HU settings on) you can connect multiple devices over Wireless and switch between them on the screen - if this function is of use to you. With USB you can only connect one device at a time -...
Thanks for that information, I had ordered the Bluetooth addapter but hopefully I've managed to cancel the order.
Yes, my head unit only has bluetooth for phone calls and message's. Its a another VW money maker.
You are clearly a Wi-Fi fan boy but I am having on going problems with CarPlay clashing with the on board wi fi.
The phones wifi is dominant to the mobile data.
If connected to the VW Wi Fi the phone no longer works independently and so data dependent apps no longer work.
If the VW Wi-Fi is...

Does anyone have any recommendations of one that can have both iPhones and Android phones connected to it for wirelessCarPlay? Thanks!
Yes it does overlay the sensors with the camera screen, like the Alpines
The 9720xds is a superb unit with the best screen. And we supply many inc all the correct parts to do the install correctly
...into this again. Sorry chaps!
@Absolut5 i have a T6.1 kombi highline, with the factory HU, parking sensors and reverse camera.
What would you recommend I do to upgrade the HU to something better that retains all the factory options including the USBC ports, but also has wirelessCarPlay aswel?
That sounds interesting! Mind sharing a link?
Presumably it’s a QI charger, but would still need to physically plug in to use CarPlay?
I need to pop out my trim to find the USB sockets that dropped down, bit nervous about damaging it! Hoping to pop to Halfords or similar to get a cheap trim...

This is the one I went for as I’m only using iPhones, think you need to go for the 4.0...
Thanks for the quick reply.
I posted the same question in another thread - if I get anywhere I’ll update this thread too.
Otherwise, like you, I was going to ask when it’s serviced - but that’s a few months away.
This is a great project.
I wish that I could buy a device that enables me to have wired/wireless Apple CarPlay:
Touch screen
Double DIN sized screen
powered by the van
no radio (don’t listen to it)
no cd (don’t use them)
no dab (don’t listen to it)
no satnav (always use waze)
make/receive...
