OEM Head Unit

[Hilly64]

Looks like main dealer is proposing to replace head unit under warranty

am I correct in thinking Car Play or something similar is disabled by at the point of sale?

Is it worth me asking if they can activate this or any other functionality when they replace .... answer may be no but is it worth the conversation at this stage

my understanding maybe incorrect, I have a blue tooth dongle anyway so not the end of the world

Not sure if you have T6 or 6.1.
I have T6.1 Highline ‘22 plate, with standard OEM head unit. CarPlay was standard and AFAIAA should be ‘built in’ to any replacement. But as I say that’s T6.1 H/L.

As @Vinyl1210 says. If it’s a 6.1 car play comes as standard. T6 would depend on spec but I think it can be activated ( don’t know if a dealer would do that tho)

T6 - so afaik no car play unless through the dongle

sounds like I might be correct in thinking it is in the unit as standard but not switched on unless paid for as an upgrade at time of purchase. will see what they say!

went in first thing last weds for a glow plug under warranty and they still have not done it . I asked them to look at the head unit which they did and recommended replacement but now sounds like warranty company doing all they can not to give authorisation .... no surprise there then ... seems to be the way of the world these days
