Hi
I just sent in my GTI to the VW Kurla Service asking for App connect and Apple Car Play to be enabled.

I was given an appointment on the 24th Oct.

Car was delivered to them and was kept there 25th with no status update whatsoever.

On the 26th I called asking about the status and was told that it is not possible to install Car Play on the GTI due to safety reasons
Can somebody who has it installed in a GTI please comment ?

Can't seem to get apple CarPlay to work on my 2016 VW jetta inspite or paying the dealer the whole amount - 22,510

Android auto works fine but when connecting to the iPhone X , I get USB: Device not supported.
The poor chaps at Sundaram Motors Chennai as equally dumbstruck. Hope I haven't paid for nothing.

This is the message that pops up when connecting to the iPhone using a genuine apple cable.

My question to jetta owners out there who have enabled CarPlay.

1) did you need to put in an additional USB port for iPhones to work. There is already one on the 2016 model jetta inside the niche in front of the gear shift lever.

2) some earlier threads suggest installing the USB port was necessary for CP to work. Is this true or false.

Had to procure VCDS cable from Ali express.
However, now the feature is enabled and working

Can you tell me how much you paid for the USB Port for iPhone compatibility - Jetta. I purchased the app connect but I get the error - USB: Device not recognised. Wondering if the USB is the issue.

Hi, you have to procure this part - USB Port, part number 5NA057342A.
This has to be installed by the service center, remove the current USB and replace it with the new one.

Then you have to use VCDS to go in to the VW software, you can take the help of the service centre here, there is an option where in you have to choose, - USB port function - there are 3 options, as I remember - iPhone only, Android only, iPhone & Android.

You have to enable iPhone only and save. Then this is going to work.

The guys at the service centre will not be willing to support on the software changes, you will have to coax them to do this.

All the best

The price is around 10K for the USB port.

Even I would interested in getting this enabled on my GTI.
Really strange excuse this one from your dealer. Let me ask mine (B U Bhandari).

Thank you. I will ask them to purchase this part. I will coax them to apply the fix to the USB port. Many thanks

Changed the USB port. Still not working. He says there is no option to select USB port options.

So now the device not recognised error has gone but the phone is not getting detected.
Looks like I am out of options here. When I told him about VCDS as per your advice , he says that's some illegal software.

Finally after my pursuit of App connect on the Jetta for the last 2 years, finally drove out of the service centre with it enabled.
The fix was finally possible only after the service centre used another laptop to code the USB port.

Total spent - About 29 K - 22 K for AC and 7 K for USB port ( USB port for apple devices, the existing one on the 2016 Jettas are for generic usb storage media devices )

Great
Congrats -
How did you manage finally

I am not entirely out of the woods yet. It refused to connect to CarPlay this afternoon briefly and all the malfunctions lights lit up like a Christmas tree. I freaked out but then it went away. Uneasy truce at the moment.

I was waiting for this post to see if someone is able to fully make it work. Mine is a 2016 jetta too and I never got the confidence from the dealer as they always give random responses. I had issues with simple contact imports on the existing HU which is still not sorted. I didn’t want to spend 30k and run around as dealer technicians hardly have skills to crack software issues. Vw website service communication is not even responsive. I was recommended 3 part numbers. Voice activation( 5GO.054.802) app connect ( 5GO.054.830.A) and USB iPod connector (5NA.057.342.A)

I assume you didn’t get the voice activation done? Also knowing we can’t use google maps with Apple CarPlay I am in two minds. I mostly would like this feature for MAPs. In your picture I assume you are using Android auto ?? Does app connect allow you to use both android and Apple phones ?

Dealer would like an advance payment with no assurance of making it work. I am unable to make a decision. So dying to have maps enabled!!

Your response would be of great help. I often travel to Chennai on work. Would love to see the things work in your jetta. Would it be possible to share a short video ?

Cheers and happy new year .. mady.

Post ios 12 update, google maps and waze works on Apple Car Play flawlessly in India with traffic info and all other features. This is the main reason I invested in APP connect.

You cannot use Android Auto with Apple devices.

Is the voice activation feature working for you with the voice control button on the wheel ?
