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 P 01 xxT and P 05 xxT. Example: MST2_EU_VW_ZR_P 01 05T 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.

Very easy way to upgrade to Apple Car Play & much cheaper than going to the main dealer, arrived very quickly & communication was very good although if I’d used the genuine Apple lead first I wouldn’t have needed any assistance but David was very quick to respond to my email. Thank you!

Worked perfectly on my Scirocco 17" plate, a slight glitch because my screen has a dead pixel meaning the back arrow does not work , so could not complete installation , but the guys at the Satnavshop were great and showed me a alternative way (OBDeleven). Got the Bluetooth dongle as well , also works flawlessly...

Updated done in under 5 minutes on a Golf Mk7 2017; David instructions received on email were very clear and easy to follow. Android Auto is now activated.

Using the criteria they supplied I realised I could use this for my VW 2015 polo (as it has 2 SD ports and is a MST2) as I tried to access app-connect and it wanted an activation key and I didn’t want to spend £200 at a dealership! Safe to say it worked like a charm, very quick delivery, got it on sale so cheap as well and now I have Apple car-play! Instructions were easy to follow (they get sent in an email to you after purchasing). Really pleased with my purchase, thank you!
