app connect

Hi All, Originally, I had plans to change my head unit for an aftermarket one with Apple Car Play/Android Auto etc, but I had worries that I would lose the factory reverse sensors on screen. After meeting Deaky off the forum yesterday and him programming some bits into my van, I had a play...

Hi all, I’ve a 21 plate T6. My media unit has over the past 12 months or so progressively got worse, it switches itself off and on again at random times, and will absolutely not connect to CarPlay, it’ll sit there for 2 minutes trying and then say it can’t connect, unless after an hour or so it...

Up for sale my long wheelbase Volkswagen Transporter T6. Runs very smoothly sad to be getting rid of it. There's a minor bit of rust on the lower side panel (shown in pictures), it's easily touch-upable. The last full service was done in November, and new tires were fitted in January. I'll dig...

Hey Everyone, So now that I got my new Van I wanted to see what some of you use in terms of apps on your phone. I saw a thread about someone that tracks their refills and journeys each time but for the life of me cant remember the app. I also saw some parking ones but my search skills clearly...

Just a quick note about unlocking app connect. I recently bought a 2017 T6 204 DSG (Best van I’ve ever had) It came with Nav but didn’t have app connect, after a Vw dealer said It would cost £360 to unlock I searched for another way. This guy is amazing, £80 and did remotely, sent files to put...

I started another thread but it seems to have been side tracked with iPhone users. Anyway I'm starting another thread to see how many other people are having the same problems I'm having. I have a new T6.1 with the standard composition media unit and use an Android phone. I connect the phone...

Having fitted my Alpine X802D-U HU after it coming back from Alpine I now have this small issue. The Image below only shows when I am listening to Apple CarPlay, everything else such as Radio stations show correctly on the MFD. Anyone shed any light?

Hi, I was sure I saw a bunch of posts a while back where people were successful upgrading the composition media to work with Carplay, but now I can't find them and I'm supposed to be working. Did I imagine that this was possible? I'm going to look at getting a Crafter later today, and I think...

So I’ve brought myself a newer van. T30 edition which had low mileage and quite a few extras but no APP connect or Voice control. Found VAG_coding_leicester on Facebook and insta and got hold of him. What a legend, he told me to get an SD card and managed to set it up remotely as I’m literally...

Just trying to get an idea of how many people have the same problem as me with their new van. Theres already a few threads running but basically when I connect my android phone to the usb socket on the van and use app connect the following happens. Google maps runs and has sound but if you then...

Hi All, currently on the lookout for a Caravelle 2017-> and am confused which head units will work with Carplay / Android equv. and which wont. It seems obvious the ones with the APP button will do it but you dont see that a lot. Looking on here, it seems as though the units can be unlocked to...

After a lot of reading and thread searching I'm still none the wiser. Am I right in thinking it's near on impossible to get a Factory VW head unit and just do a simple swap? I currently have the stock DAB unit. Cheers Crispy

Anyone enabled app connect using ODIS?

Hi there! Recently said hello and asked about North East VAG Adaptions in the new members area. Decided to go ahead and give it a whirl and it's working just great. Sent the guy a dm on Facebook. Took a couple of pics of the head unit and he said he could do it. He uses Anydesk.com to send a...

Hi My dealer is quoting £168.07 + VAT to install the activation code for APP connect on the Discover Media unit of my T6. Is there any other way of doing this? Or am I tied in to the dealer? cheers Jim

Still speccing our first foray into Transporter world and in need of a little reassurance. I think I can do without the inbuilt satnav and just plug the iPhone in - the 6.1 brochure shows a very Apple-y looking display. Anyone got any experience of this?

Hi all I have begun a petition after discovering my local VW dealership in the UK charge £250+ for the activation of AppConnect. AppConnect is nothing novel and should be factory default in all VW vehicles. Anyway you can read my letter to VW in the content of the petition: Sign the...

So I'm loving having Google Maps on the main screen in the van, but has anyone else had the following issue: One the van is connected to the phone, I'm then unable to play any audio from the phone - Google Music, Spotify etc., say they're playing, but there's no actual audio. I can still play...

I have got Car-Net connected (hotspot to my phone) and registered etc but being a 2nd hand van the contract has expired and it's asking for 70 quid to renew, my question is simply, is it worth it?
