carplay

The Kenwood DMX 8019dab is proving to be a massive hit with you guys It has the following features - Dab Twin USB Bluetooth Wireless Apple CarPlay Android auto/mirroring Ability to display the factory parking sensors Reverse camera input Optional dash camera control We can supply this...

I am after fitting a reversing camera to my T6 which only has the non camera composite media unit. I have weighed up all of the options, and it all comes down to money And how good the systems are. I also want car play. And with that in mind I wonder if there is any point in buying a...

my struggles to reliably use apple car play continue. New cable - no change Also I’ve noticed that sometimes over bumps, the radio turns off and comes back on .... which to me suggests a bad connection Any suggestions. I use car play for mapping, my own music and podcasts Thanks

Anyone know how to remove the USB / Aux module located left side of dash above the glove box? I’m replacing it with a new module which is Apple compatible. Photo attached

Hi guys, just picked up my new T6 highline with the stereo fitted with app connect. I thought this would be a great feature having my phone in my car but I now realise it has to be plugged into the USB which is on the other side of the van??? I've had the stereo out today to see if had a simple...

Hi all. Looking for a head unit with CarPlay

After all my escapades in modifying and using the RCD330+, I decided to do what I always end up doing and start a new project with only a week to go til my annual fortnight touring Europe. So I've ordered a Kenwood 8019. (I shied away from the undoubtedly better 9190 due to budget). One of the...

We have the standard base radio unit in our Trendline T6, which to be honest did everything we wanted, until I discovered Apple CarPlay on our new Skoda. So, simple question - what's the best ICE unit to get that supports CarPlay ? Stunning audio performance is not the highest priority, but a...

While using Waze through AppConnect last night I encountered frequent connection problems with the head unit just going blank, and then trying to reconnect to my phone (iPhone 8). This was preceded by the headunit (standard VW without nav) totally freezing accompanied by a contstant high pitched...

Hi just had my van back from my local VW centre after having appconnect activated and yep it doesn't work. They've tried to reinstall it but still no good. Appconnect is activated it just wont show any devices , they have tried it on engineers phones as well iPhone and android and nothing. If...

Hello All, As per the title, I have a Kenwood DNX9180DABS in a VW T6, and I cannot seem to get anything to pair with Bluetooth. Just wondered if anybody has a solution. I have checked the settings and Bluetooth is turned on and set to visible. The phone does work with CarPlay. It’s an iPhone...

I had a Pioneer system installed along with carpet lining etc by over the stock system over a year ago (Absolute5) and its always worked brilliantly. Since my iPhone updated the stereo no longer automatically connects to apple CarPlay! I have seen on forums that this is a common problem. Has...

Anyone having any issues with carplay? When i use the voice control on my steering wheel (while plugged to carplay) the response back is that my contacts are unavailable, however, if i unplug and then use the voice control again, it works. I have looked at all the settings both in my phone and...

The wait is over...! Google Maps is now supported by CarPlay! After months of tearing my hair out attempting to get a decent Nav head unit. Now i can just use this.. and not rely on Apple Maps to take me to the shops via Scotland. Waze is also due to be released onto CarPlay very soon!

apple are supposedly releasing iOS 12 in September 2018 and this update includes the ability to display Waze and other maps via CarPlay I don’t go much on Vw satnav as used to Waze, lots of people I’ve spoken to are very excited about Waze coming to Vw T6

I've got a 2017 latest edition T6 ................. the reliability of using the SATNAV or any of the car play functions from my iPhone is getting very bad - it don't connect, or disconnects ..... I did think it was the cables, but the phone charges. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi I've just had app connect retrofitted by VW but i can't get any iphone to connect, keep getting message usb device not recognised. I've tried all the usual stuff restarted the phone, reset the stereo to factory settings, different cable etc. In the menu i noticed i had the choice of Mirror...

I appreciate this is not ground-breaking and many will have already sussed this but I use my iPhone as a Nav in my van and at times I like to listen to the verbal directions. When you select 'media' on the head unit you lose the ability to continue listening to the radio if your bluetooth is...

After bit of advice and possibly help please. I own a Highline LWB PV and would love to upgrade my standard headhunt to discover media unit. I was thinking to get one of eBay and then get it coded to my van (should I need to) and unlock connect app as well as voice dial button on the steering...
