VW MIB2 Wired Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Activation SD Card Compatible with Volkswagen vehicles manufactured 2015–2021 equipped with MIB2 head units. Compatible only with MIB2 MST2 units, not for MIB1 MST D. Enables wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via SD-card activation. Wireless operation is possible with an additional adapter / dongle, which is included with the second option " CarPlay / AA Wireless " Once you have received your SD card, please be aware that this is non-refundable. Package Includes Activation SD card (CarPlay / Android Auto) Step-by-step installation instructions (Please contact us via email and we will send you the installation instructions) Email support How to Check Compatibility Your SW Train Version must begin with MST2 and end with D or T . Head unit must have 2 SD card slots (navigation-enabled). If you have 1 slot and the App-Connect function (see the last photo) in your infotainment system, and your software version ends with the letter D , then this SD card will work. Example: MST2_EU_VW_E0220 D How to find SW Train Version: Hold the MENU button for ~3 seconds. Select Software Update / Versions . Check the installed SW Train Version on screen. For MIB2 High units (SW versions beginning MHI2_ER_xx ), please see our separate listing. Wireless operation is possible with an additional module. Technical Notes & App-Connect VW introduced MIB2 in late 2015 with full App-Connect functionality (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, MirrorLink). Depending on trim, three MIB2 variants were used: MIB2 Standard (MST2) — navigation via SD-card, requires two SD slots. MIB2 High (MHI2) — Discover Pro with maps stored internally. MIB2 Entry (MEN2) — basic infotainment without navigation or app activation. Activation via SD card is a proven and DIY-friendly method — no dealership visit required. Many users successfully enable CarPlay/Android Auto using just the activation SD card. Note: MST2 units do not support wireless CarPlay/Android Auto natively — a separate wireless dongle is required. What Isn’t Compatible Head units with only 1 SD card slot (no navigation). Software versions ending in P01xxT and P05xxT . Some early vehicles (2015 – 2016) may require a USB port replacement to enable Apple CarPlay functionality. Android Auto will work without hardware changes. Additional coding using VCDS or OBDeleven may be needed to make the activated services visible.

Easy upgrade to 2016 VW Golf infotainment. Very clear instructions, it took only couple of minutes. Have now Android auto and apple carplay. I recommend getting the wireless adapter as well, it makes the user experience much better than connecting wire every time. Great product.

Great product. Really easy to install and use. I was planning to replace the original VW Discover Media head unit in my Passat to be able to use Android Auto, but didn't want to loose the VW- specific features like the Car and settings menus. I hadn't realised it was so easy to unlock the car-link features or I would have done it years ago. Thoroughly recommended.
