came across this video and had to say thanks, great video helped me to connect to my Skoda VRS and get it working. Very clear and easy to follow.
Just installed this, great video btw. Cant seem to get the steering wheel skip buttons to work with carplay though. did you have the same issue?
Hoi Dutchman! Mooie duidelijke video! Ik ben ook geïnteresseerd in dit systeem (heb zelf de Golf MK7 met 5.8" media display). Ik heb nog enkele vragen, hopelijk kan/wil je die beantwoorden: - Ik ben toch wel erg benieuwd hoe je het extra kastje hebt weggewerkt en alle extra kabels, heb je daar ook beelden van? Is er voldoende ruimte of is het proppen? - Is het carplay ook bedraad te gebruiken wanneer je enkel een MDI ingang hebt? - Hoe bevalt het systeem sinds je eerste post?
Hey man, I don’t have a USB port in my gti, I have the mdi connection instead (which sucks). The Bluetooth on my car occasionally cuts out for a split second, do you have the same issue and if so does it still happen with wireless CarPlay? Also, does the wired carplay work with the mdi to lightning cable or does it have to be through a usb output?
I've got this kit aswell, i had some problem with fitment because i have additional Subwoofer cables running in that little space behind the original unit. so for my convience i just removed the glovebox and put everything above the glovebox. works perfect and fits like a glove ;)
Good to read!
Do you speak about dynaudio system? More cables?
Thanks, this might be the best upgrade u can do for that kinda money and makes driving much better with the media setup like this👌 Does it auto connect each time you get into the car? Or do you nees to connect manually each drive?
Yes it is! It auto-connects every time you get in the car, you just need to have your iphone’s wifi on. You can also use usb carplay and then you need to plug it in to make it work (obviously haha)!
Your videos have helped to significantly increase the value of my car, thank you very much!
That’s good news, thanks!!
@@ot2nie hi mate I’m a tad confused, can I install this even if my mk7 doesn’t have sat nav from factory?
@@RetroTubingdid it work? Mine doesn’t have sat nav
@@cheeseballs8u573 hi mate never got round to it my insurance tripled due to the thefts on golf Rs so had to sell it
Hey bro, nice man I like it. Is it also possible for every car and with an android phone?
Hello. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it’s great. New sub. Quick question, what’s the difference between VW app connect and this? I have the same car mode in UK as you. And really need this upgrade. Will the system that you just fitted on be in English and work in the UK?
Yes the system is english and carplay will use the same language as your phone obviously. We connect will still work fine and i mainly use that when i want to pre-heat the car remotely😅😅
Thanks!, I have a question, what version has the infotainment?, I saw your radio support the NAV button. Then, if you know, I have the radio with the mute button, then, my question is, that product let me install in my car?, my car is volkswagen year 2016, is MK7. Thanks again, good video!
Another great video done on the fly.... looks really good...
Thank you sir😉
Any issues with backup camera? Also do you have fender audio?
Hello there, great work finding this kit. I love it. Just got a 2015 Gte and was wondering how to mirror my phone so I'm delighted to see this and have contacted the company about this now as I have the same unit as you. I am struggling with connecting the car with the Vw app for pre-heating the car. If you ever have time I would be very grateful if you could talk through how to do this. Thanks again on your great information. 👍🏼
Thanks and sure no problem, contact me through IG: Dutchman.GTE and we can talk😉
I was going to just do the entire brain unit upgrade, this is awesome and I had no idea it existed
Does it ship to the us?
What about basic FM radio functionality? Let's say I'd like to listen to my favorite FM radio station, so I switch to the original multimedia station. While listening to the FM radio someone is calling my phone - can I answer the call using the add-on box, or the original BT phone functionality?? Can I still listen to FM radio, while being switched to a CarPlay screen? The original CP/AA unit can automatically mute the radio and play voice prompts from navigation or switch to voice calls.
Just installed mine in my Golf 7 (MIB1, 2013) - works perfect!
Hey, Do you have reverse camera? and.. how does the radio works?
It’s quiet expensive to get CarPlay supplied and fitted in the Uk for a mk7, So I just want to give a huge thank you. You’ve saved me so much money by providing the link to the unit and the video on how to self install and to over come any issues through your other two videos! Amazing videos and mods done to your GTE, I’ve already followed suit with the CarPlay and Stage1 map. Next is the sweeping front and reverse indicators!
P.s anyone who installs this and the CarPlay is either too small for your screen/too big for your or perfect size but the touchscreen doesn’t work. It’s do to with your resolution! Change the pattern of the dip switches on the back and you’ll find a combination that works for you, or contact the supplier and they’ll help suggest different combinations. If you get an annoying static/feedback sound when no music is playing, then watch the Dutchman’s other video on how to swap audio to Bluetooth instead of AUX. You’ll get steering wheel controls and remove the static interference.
@@zackpatel3506 thank you for the kind and informative response😉 Glad i could be of help and it worked out for you😅😅
Where did you order yours from m?
@@tb4375 from the website He linked in the video description. You’ll have to use a Google chrome translation browser extension or something similar so you can understand the website. The company know English so for any after sales service they’ll speak to you normally
Hey, I’m from UK as well so pleased to have found this as well :D how did it take to arrive for you?
Hey! Thanks for the video! I'm thinking about buying this for my golf and was just wondering if the carplay navigation works with the information screen in the gauge cluster? Regards!
No that doesn't work with any MIB1/2 Golf, you need the MIB3 screen that comes with the Golf 7.5.
@@ot2nie I see, thanks!
Hi, I have three question: 1)if you are listening radio fm what happens when you switch to android auto/carplay? do the radio stop or it continues playing? thanks in advance 2) when you are in the rear view camera screen, do you still see the parking sensors on the left side of the screen like in the original screen? 3)when you are close to some obstacle does the sensor screen automatically appear on the left side of the screen like in the original system?
Hi Flying Dutchman. Are the box and the MIB supposed to stay inthe glove compartment forever or can the adapter box be hidden behind the MIB?
You can hide them perfectly! I hid it behind the glovebox, but you need to use your puzzling skills haha!
This looks great, thanks for the video. One question, can you listen to your radio/DAB while the screen shows CarPlay and Waze or Google Map directions?
Yes you can, however if the audio is switched to radio, it is not connected to aux and therefore the audio that comes from your phone (in this case waze or maps) won’t come through the speakers. If you have a radio app on your phone, you can merge it.
Would you recommend this one over one that just plugs into the usb/mmi adapter? Also realized this was 2 years ago so maybe they have made plug and play versions for VW
Thats great! I was considering changing the whole system because I use Waze all the time and therefore carplay would be great. But the most important reason for me would be that bluetooth streaming quality is not as good as playing from the harddisk. It’s just not that crisp. I was hoping carplay would make it better. Can you tell me if you notice a difference or improvement in the bluetooth music quality?
I have not tested it enough to conclude that, but yes in theory you’re right! You can also use traditional carplay by using a usb cable and therefore listening to music while using a wired connection. So if you notice loss of quality, you can revert back to that😅😅
Thanks! Appreciating your efforts :D
I found my bluetooth connected to Spotify was perfect, the same as a radio station, then one day out of nowhere, no changes to the car, phone or software, I stopped in a supermarket, got back in the car, then the bluetooth connection was awful, low quality sound, and never been the same since. Why did this happen?? I want to get this CarPlay unit but afraid the bluetooth quality would still be bad.
Hi. Do you have any restrictions using steering wheel controllers? Such as music skip buttons.
Heel erg bedankt! Ik wil zelf ook een golf 7 halen. Krijg met al je filmpjes heel veel informatie en ideeen.
Goed om te lezen!!
Even 2 years from when the video was made this works perfectly. Very happy with the end result in my VW GTI, as a tip make sure to tuck the cables in the panel above the infotainment system, thats the way i got mine back into place :)
Looking into this myself.. glad people are still doing this so recently on 😊 Question... does the sat nav work of the phones connection? What happens if you don't connect your phone? Thanks
Any help appreciated. Thanks
@@Daywalker1978 the sat nav will work from your phone yes, your phone will essentially be broadcasting an external image to the car's display
nice and practical video! question' do you have the link where you got the box?
Thanks, yes in the description!
Hi Dutchman. Thank you for the video and for expanding my horizon. But one question I have is, do you or somebody else have some experience with Android Auto? Is that right, that the Android use is possible only via USB and not wireless? Hope for some answers. ;)
With this kit, android auto should be usable wired or wireless! I haven’t tried it yet, but that’s how it’s advertised😅
Awesome video!! I also don’t have CarPlay on my car, and I was wondering how to have and not expending much money! And this one is also wireless. Nice video
Hey man, that was exactly what I was looking for. However, I just wanted to ask if the rear camera and the steering volume buttons work. I really want it but I want to make sure that I can get the best out of it.
Yes it all works! Only music prev and next won’t work, but i have a fix for that in one of my other videos!
@@ot2nie Where do you have that video?
I also need this answer@@thijskennis8757
Great video; thanks for sharing! Do you also need a microphone or does it use the OEM microphone for phone calls?
Thanks!, it uses the oem mic!
@@ot2nie This is great news as some other solutions seem to require an additional microphone.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for!! I have MIB1 and didn't want to change the whole system. I don´t have Navigation, and my screen is 5.8, but I have just checked the website and it also works with mine. Where did you place the USB connections? (I have AMI connection, and would be great to replace at least for charging) Thanks for the video!
I believe all of this info is in the product manual on their website!
I think i'll buy this thing in august, if u try before can u tell me if it worked for u? I jave a mib 5.8 too
@@ILcrash1993 No problem! Now I am looking for another provider because the one recommended is sold out, and there´s no update of this on the website
@@fedemartinez9478👍 hey, did you find another provider?
Hi there, Can you tell me does the SD Card slot still pay audio?
Have you had a chance to look at the RCD 520? It's a new(2021) infortainment system for VW MK7 MQB platform that is supposed to be plug & play for both mib1 & mib2 users. Comes with an 8 inch screen, apple carplay & higher resolution
Great job! Do you have any idea about how you can hide the unit in the glove box?
Same question here. Can the box be hidden behind the cdbox?
Check my other video😉
Hello, This is a great video. I have a Golf 7 2014 with mib1(with NAV) 5.7 inch infotainment system. Actually from what i know all the golf 7 infotainment systems are with component protection active, after this box installation I will have problems with component protection? Or everything will work as expected?
Thanks, you will not have any issues with CP if you’re using the same screen/unit😅
@@ot2nie Thanks for your quick answer. Another thing, the OEM USB port is working as it was before?
@@ionutsavin2478 yes, but you need to use the module’s usb to connect to carplay, so the oem usb port does exactly the same as before!
Hey, thank you for this perfect video and help. 😇💪🏻 i bought a system and installed it thanks to your help. but I wonder a lot about how OEM rear view camera no longer works? do you have the same problem and what have you done about it?
You can change that in the settings.
check settings, or connect a wire between the trigger wire and the rear light
Did you sort you rev camera?
@@tbodini hey, yes, cant remember how, but it works fine💪🏻
Will it work on a golf mk7 that has no steering wheel button (controls)? I just have a 5.8" screen and do not have any steering wheel button 😅
Hi, nice box ,Works Perfekt (VW Sportsvan 2014 , MIB1) . I have one Question where you put the box?
I put it in the cubby space next to the oem unit!
Bluetooth connection works also in VW infotainment? Or it is necessary to have bluetooth connection only with Carplay unit? Is it possible to listen to FM radio while using Carplay? Thanks
Yes, no and yes!😅
Great video! Does apple carplay boot up when turning on the car or do you need to select it in the menu first?
The regular VW menu boots up and if you hold media or voice control, it will switch to Carplay (as long as the phone is connected through wifi or usb)!
I started the car couple of minutes ago and Carplay boots up directly!
@Luigi if you hold voice control, Carplay opens. If Carplay is already open and you hold it, it will activate Siri!
Does it work with android auto also?
Hi, I just got my mk7 few days ago, it was really nice deal. But before ordering Apple play thing, i wanted to ask you. Where in the Netherlands i can order original or which are best parts for big service. Like timing belt, water pump.. rollers etc etc. I live in the Netherlands, but i don't know where to order parts and which are best in your opinion? BTW, great videos... Thank you for making them for people like myself :) Thanks
How did you put everything back into order in the glovebox? Did you have to remove the glovebox to fit in the carplay unit, or there's enough space behind the MIB unit to fit it? Thanks
There's enough space around the original unit to get everything fitted nice! It took me about 5 minutes!
Hi, thx for this video. I will do it in my GTD MK7. But no problem with native fonctions like rear camera and native micro?
No problem there!
Great video .. have one ordered .. just wondering can you post a pic or quick video of what the glove box unit looked like after you installed and finished . Just curious about spacing
Sorry . Just seen your other video of the glove box .. cool.. thanks
@@keithbyrne2683 you’re welcome sir, hope you’re enjoying the new kit😉
Could you give me the site you ordered from please?
@@garygrainge9315 www.motrade.nl/nl/
@@ot2nie great thanks very much
Can I ask you a question? I just got a Golf Sportsvan from 2014, in the media system there is no navigation, so I assume it's a MIB 1. I saw that there are dongles on the market to add the carplay/android car option. Would they work or do I have to change the main unit (like in your video) to have carplay/android car/mirror link on it? Thanks a lot!
It really depends on the screen, if you have one the same size (or similar) as mine, it should work yes. But best is to check the website in the description, because you’ll see the compatibility with different models!
@@ot2nie thanks! I think my screen is a bit smaller. I'll try to understand more about those dongles.. thanks again!
@Helen i have also a Golf 7 2013 with MIB 1. Did you bought this product and did it work for you? Thanks
Hi there. Very informative. Thank you. I have a 2015 GTI, with MIB1 non nav, however I have no aux input, no usb, only a wide MDI port. Would this setup work for my car?
Do you have BT audio? Then it should work!
@@ot2nie Yes I do. Thanks
@@sendibadsaid7931 did you end up getting this product? If so, where did you fit the box? I have an early 2015 GTI se (U.S. model) with mib1, MDI port, and Fender sound. Lots of little complications to deal with. If you’re using Bluetooth audio, it’d be interesting to see if CarPlay apps (like the text to speech on messages, or from Google maps) would transmit over bt from the phone, or if they would be produced by the CarPlay box. if it’s the latter, then they might not play via bt audio.
@@mrpug999 Not yet, but I am planning to do it in the near future. I will let you know how it goes.
@@sendibadsaid7931 please keep us posted I’m in the same boat as Kevin
Hello. I have a sportsvan with this serial: 5G0035846A material 041 and software 0430. Actual firmware: MSTD_EU_VW_P3350. I cannot find any update MSTD (only MST2). will this product work on my car? thank you
Would the stock controls and features still work if you install this? I have a 2015 GTD with MDI instead of USB. Would this work with the existing steering wheel features for volume etc. and stock rear camera?
Yes those features will work!
Hi, I have just bought this, just wondering, does anyone know what to set the dip switches to, it's a 2014 Golf. Only an AMI port but car has Bluetooth.
This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. Do you know if this system would work in a Mk5 Polo?
Not sure, if you have MIB1 or 2 and the screen size matches the one from the link, you should be good!
@@ot2nie Awesome, thank you, I'll take a look
Very good video! Is the unit completely wireless, no USB cable is required? I have a US 2015 Golf TDI with a MIB1 system. This may be the answer to me getting Apple CarPlay. I have been looking at a EU spec MIB2 radio/receiver upgrade but this solution appears to be much more affordable. Thanks again for the post!
Thanks and welcome, sir! You can use both wireless or wired connection with this kit!
@@ot2nie Have you installed it permanently now, in the space you showed @ 2:42? Any issues with it since you purchased it?
@@ralphhudak7451 yes i installed it there and no, issues with it, works great!
Hi, I don't know if you will read this comment. First of all I wanted to thank you for your video, which I discovered by chance on youtube, so I installed Apple CarPlay on my mib1 (Golf 7). I use it to monitor my sensor glucose, via calendar event, on the homepage along with music and navigator, and now I'm really satisfied thanks to you. I also add that I can use my rear view camera from the VW bonnet badge. P.s., I apologize for my slightly incorrect English, but I am Italian.
Wow, that’s very good to read and nice that this video made such an impact! Great to be of help to you and enjoy the kit!😉😉
Hey Carmine, i have also a Golf 7 from 2013 with MIB 1. It dont have Navigation. Is yours the same Thanks you
@@SamsungABC1996 yes
@@carminespadola9373 Did it work for you?
@@SamsungABC1996 yes
Hi there, I'm trying to figure out if this unit will work with cars that have Fender audio and therefore a separate amp. Does the unit bypass the infotainment to connect to the speakers directly or does it all run through the current infotainment system?
Ever figure this out?
@@dmissirlian sorry for the late reply but no. when I watch this video I don't see a separate cable (optical?) for the Fender amp so I'm unsure if it will work with my car.
I have it working on my fender 2015, its using bluetooth for sound
Hey man, I'm just in the proces of buying a golf mk7 myself, but it will be a little older one, and not even fully specced like yours. So the system in there kinda looks the same but has an even smaller screen and such. Does this unit you installed still work on that?
Check out the link, the supported screen sizes are there😉
Hey kerel vraagje, Ben je er al achter of de knopjes op het stuur wel functioneren bij spotify of apple music?
Bij youtube music werkt volume wel maar fast forward niet! Spotify geen ervaring mee helaas..
Can i still install this even if i don’t have a CD player in the glovebox?
Dose it work on golf 7 2017 tdi facelift?
Thx for the video! The new box is pretty chunky though, where did you fit it?
Thanks! If you look at 2:42, there is a cubby hole on the right side and there’s actually a large space behind which probably fits two of these boxes haha! I fitted the box and all of it’s wiring there and the glovebox fitted back like a glove🤣
Does this work with the iPhone 13 pro max ¿ thanks
Great installation video 👍
Thank you!
Would it work on a Skoda Fabia 1.2 TSI 2015? It seems they have the same infotainment system...
Yes that should work! Best is to contact Cartizan if you’re hesitating😉
Tive um problema com minha instalação, poderia me ajudar?? Ao aparelho estar todo instalado o carplay espelha a tela do celular mas ele não habilita nenhuma função na tela, não consigo selecionar nada, clicar em nada.
Very nice Video, well made and informative! But i have a further question, where do i plug my iPhone in when i want to you use apple carplay with a wire? Thank you in advance!
Also can you use the buttons on the steering wheel for volume and skip songs?
Thanks! The kit comes with an additional usb port and you need to use that if you want wired carplay! For your other question i’ll revert you to my other video😉😉
@@ot2nie thank you very much!
Hi Sir, is it possible with this that u can mirroring your iphone to your screen just like AIRPLAY so you can see all the thing from your iphone on your screen? Thanks a lot...
Yes you can screen mirror with this kit!
Suddenly your chjannel became my favorite channel... I Bought a 2015 dark blue GTE 1 month ago. and it is from Netherlands. Is it possible to check with VIN car history at VW Dealership in Holland without personal ID?
Thanks and yes sure that should be possible, Have you tried contacting them?
Does a 2017 base model golf 7 have apple carplay?
Can you still plug in an Aux cable?
Hi, zou dit ook kunnen worden geïnstalleerd op een Golf 7 die een scherm heeft zonder navi/bleutooth? En zo ja zou je ‘m evt voor een meerprijs bij me kunnen installeren? Hoor graag van u!
He man, hoeveel inch beeldscherm heeft jou auto? En heb je eigen risico gebruikt enzo? Kan je snel reageren dan koop ik hem ook heb zelf een golf 7 gti 2013 zou het daar op kunnen?
Hello, does the phone sound & mic work while you are connected via bluetooth to the MIB unit and in Carplay? Do phone buttons on steering wheel work? Thanks!
Hey im a little confused on the AUX-In stuff. I have the VW MDI port on my 2015 GTI, never used it. the option is greyed out in my "source" menu, because nothing is plugged in. How will i know if i need the AUX cable or not when ordering ? Does bluetooth audio not work with this new unit ?
If it is greyed out you will need the aux ami adapter. You can use bluetooth for sound. But in that case you cannot make calls. Also not all navigation apps can use bluetooth for sound.
I just bought a Golf and it has Dynaudio sound system. It will work perfectly without lose quality from the sound system?
That’s right, but aux will in theory have a bit worse quality than BT.
Dat draadloze is wel lekker. Maar goed ik ben verwend met de 2. Tnx voor weer een mooie tip.
Haha lucky you😉😉
Did you upgrade to the 7” screen? I have a 2015 sportwagen with the MIB 1 system and the really small screen(I think it’s a 6”). Just wondering if I can upgrade to the 7 or 8”screen and just get this interface.
My screen is like this from factory! I believe you can upgrade the screen yes, but wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to swap to an MIB2 unit directly? You would have app-connect/carplay then from the oem unit😅😅
@@ot2nie Yeah, seems like it as the difference in cost is marginal at that point. Only thing that concerns me is I’ll have to find someone to do the VCDS coding since I have Fender audio. The 8” discover pro MIB 2 unit is about $1300 and the 9.2” MIB2.5 unit is about $2300. Not sure what to do yet but I want to do the MIB 2 so I can eventually swap to the virtual dash. But thank you for the quick response.
Hi & ThanX for this vid, does it work with the first MIB 1 5'8 inch (the smallest mib) ...i.ve got it on my 2014 sportsvan
Yes
Did anyone have problems with touchpad?
Hello Amazing Video, at 9:30 you pressed voice on the steering wheel, on our Golf this button isn't activated, just thinking if this will work if I install this device
No
@The Flying Dutchman, I have it installed but I only have audio through BT. When going to the orignal VW screen I only have the option to change the source to BT/Jukebox etc but no AUX. This means when I get phonecalls or Flitsmeister provides no sound :( any idea how to fix
On some of the models, you have to buy a secondary aux-to-ami cable
Hi dude... nice vid... do you have retrofit rear camera??
Nope, if it’s on from factory, it works with this kit
Hola yo tengo el mismo golf 7 y la misma pantalla y quiera saber si una vez que está enchufado todo hay que conectarlo al auxiliar? En la pantalla o como porque no se me oye, yo el conector que tengo del usb y auxiliar es el conector grande que esta en en el cenicero debajo de la pantalla y solo tengo puesto el del usb, lo tengo que cambiar por el del auxiliar para que me lo reconozca el interfaz del CarPlay?
You only have to put your radio on aux. If not possible you need the ami-aux adapter to activate ami-aux
If I connect this device, the reverse camera and other original features will stop working? or which functionalities would not work in case of acquiring one of these, I have a gti 2015 mib1
All of the features will work, they do with me.
Hello, is it compatible on the golf mk7 model of 2014 ?
How easy is it to switch between android auto and the standard vw screens? Once the unit is installed
Very easy, just hold the car or media button for a sec!
Hi FDM Great video man. My reverse camera does not work 🥴 how did made ur camera work? Do you have any fix for that? BR Ali
Hi Ali, check the camera settings in Carhome of the carplay unit, it has to be set to factory😉

@@aliwajahatkhan8771 do you have the camera working now? I've the same issue.
@@stephansiera8164 hi. Yes it works perfectly now. You have to go in the settings for the carplay module, then advance settings and then choose original camera. :) Restart and it will work.
Top video en goede uitleg! Ik zie alleen geen Spotify er tussen staan wat voor mij wel een must is. Kan dit later nog gedownload/geinstalleerd worden of is dit niet mogelijk?
spotify kan gewoon
What’s the dip setting for a 6.5 I have tried everything but don’t get it .. I don’t understand the chart
Does it works on a 2015 MIB 1 sportsvan? The steering wheel controls doesn’t work in the CarPlay menu but they do still work on the OEM menus?
In oem they work, in interface mode they will probably. it improves all the time
What is the difference with the activation key and this system? I know the activation key and installation in the uk is £270
Activation is better. audio, buttons etc.
OMG 😯 great great great video 😊 I have a GTE like yours and I follow all your amazing videos.. my next upgrade is a box like this 🙂 thank thank you. Can I ask you three simples questions? One is when you plug the box he automatic turn on the lights, but this don't drain your 12v battery? When you use the navigation in carplay you can listen radio at same time? Last one is you can listen the voice navigation instructions? Again amazing amazing video 😊
Thank you for the compliments! To answer your questions: 1. No you cannot drain the battery, this kit uses the same power supply your nav uses, so no worries there. 2. You can listen to the radio at the same time, but you have to set the car to aux to benefit from the audio from Carplay, so it’s radio OR navigation instructions, not both. If you listen to music through Carplay, the nav instructions work perfectly! 3. Yes it works and you can also use the oem microphone to ‘tell’ the car your destination through Siri, it’s all integrated and you can use your Voice button on the steering wheel as well!
@@ot2nie perfect thank you 🙂
@@ot2nie can you please make a simple video how this works with android auto like you show with carplay ? I have android and I'm afraid that not work with wireless or not work so good.. I think other people would like to have this comparation too ♥️
@@ricardosoares8002 sure, i think i have an android phone lying around, so i’ll try it out!

Hi! I have a similar module, but i had to install an external mic. Does this module work with the OEM mic? And another question, can you change the songs using the buttons on the steering wheel?
The oem mic works! I use youtube music and there the steering wheel buttons don’t work, only volume up and down works.. Maybe spotify does work, i’m not sure..
@@ot2nieHi, do you have any news about the operation of Spotify with steering wheel controls? Thanks 😁
@@cat-aldo yes, spotify does work, but the steering wheel controls don’t work (prev and next). Volume does work on the wheel.
@@ot2nie Thank you ! :)
@@ot2nie Hi, in the Visual and Audio Settings I can set the audio to be played via the cell phone. I connected the cell phone normally via bluetooth instead of aux. And the steering wheel buttons work for me again. : D
Does this work via Bluetooth? And can you play Spotify and Apple Music? Also where can you get this from the UK?
I want to know this also
hello, is it working with mib2 entry?
Hey! Awesome video and explanation. Any chance someone has placed this unit and has Dynaudio sound in their car? Does it affect the sound quality of does it still remain the same? Thanks in advancen!
Yes, sound quality decreases a bit, because it is transferred over aux with this kit!
Have you ever thought of installing adaptive cruise control for long rides? Btw leuke videos man ik krijg over 2 weken golf gte 2015😁
I was thinking this too. Is it even possible?
Awesome video man thanks! only question is if sound will work for me as i don't have aux option?
If you have bluetooth, it will work as well and you’ll keep your quality!
I have a 2015 golf gti s will it work with this
hej, top video! kun je ons nog even updaten of deze box nog meevalt (na m een tijdje gebruikt te hebben)? Ik ben zelf ook van plan om er eentje te kopen, ziet er gaaf uit!
Hij bevalt nog steeds erg goed! Gebruik hem continu en geen gedoe of storingen!
Do I already have to have carplay for this to work, or, is this wire to wireless or is it just carplay?
It’s the whole unit, so it works on cars that don’t have carplay from factory.
Hey man I just purchased mine for my 2015 golf. The radio unit in the back doesn't have the Grey lvds connector. It has a blue, yellow, pink, brown, and white. Any suggestions? I have the US 2015 launch edition golf.
