Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
Cool. What it means though, is that they should have just charged you that from the start. It's like buying an HD TV but you can only use the HD after paying to have it activated.Kavi4GP wrote:YepNeuk wrote:So R3700 in total then?Kavi4GP wrote:Comp media is R2700 option and my polo came with mirrorlink activated so paid the R1200

Yes but because mirrorlink is a separate option it was split , think dealers will charge more for the code after salesNeuk wrote:Cool.

2014/2015 has only mirrorlink so works with all the supported phones has some features the others dont have but misses some unique features that only the individual software has.

Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
I am going to stop using CarPlay for a few days and simply connect my iPhone via Bluetooth and see how it goes. From the little I have used an iPhone via Bluetooth in a VAG car versus using my iPhone via CarPlay in my R, I am not sure the R3500 i worth it for CarPlay if you don't have access to it already.kripstoe wrote:Meh.

Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
It is indeed. You can either stream from the interwebs, or in my case: download/cache your playlist or albums on the phone for offline playing. I'm using Android, so I'm not sure what the availability and features on iPhones are like.Neuk wrote:I am not familiar with Google Play Music?

Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
I think R3500 is worth it if you basically get navigation on your radio instead of forking out R20 000... but it should be standard from the factory just like BMW and Mercedes and Porsche.

Aah, cool, Apple has a streaming subscription service via iTunes Music but I am not using it.kripstoe wrote:It is indeed. You can either stream from the interwebs, or in my case: download/cache your playlist or albums on the phone for offline playing. I'm using Android, so I'm not sure what the availability and features on iPhones are like.
I think they still have the 30 day trial going on. https://play.google.com/store

I use Waze which is not available via CarPlay so it wouldn't be worth it for me.Le Clue wrote:I think R3500 is worth it if you basically get navigation on your radio instead of forking out R20 000... but it should be standard from the factory just like BMW and Mercedes and Porsche.

Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
Arg, yesterday went well using my phone via Bluetooth, this morning my phone connected, I made a phone call but I couldn't play any music.Neuk wrote:I am going to stop using CarPlay for a few days and simply connect my iPhone via Bluetooth and see how it goes. From the little I have used an iPhone via Bluetooth in a VAG car versus using my iPhone via CarPlay in my R, I am not sure the R3500 i worth it for CarPlay if you don't have access to it already.

Re: VW MIB 2 Radios - Apple Carplay & Android Auto
You should be able to stream music via BT.
I got a quote of R3K from Lindsay Saker to activate the MirrorLink. They say that they have to order an SD card which has the upgrade on it.
I wonder if this card can be used on more than one unit...
