⚠️ Compatibility Check:
Follow these steps to verify that your Volkswagen is compatible:
Step 1
Hold the MENU button for 3 seconds
Select Software Update / Versions
Locate Installed SW Train Version
Step 2
Check that your SW Train Version looks like one of these examples:
- MST2_EU_VW_PQ_P0xxxT
- MST2_EU_VW_ZR_P0xxxT
- MST2_EU_VW_PxxxxD
- MST2_EU_VW_ExxxxD
- MST2_EU_VW_KxxxxD
Where x can be any digit.
Step 3
Check the number of SD card slots on your headunit:
- If your unit (with navigation) has 2 SD card slots — compatible ✅
- If your unit has 1 SD card slot — not compatible ❌
If you have 1 slot but your infotainment has the App-Connect function, and your software version ends with the letter D, then this SD card will work.
❗ Important Notice:
Once activated, the SD card becomes permanently linked to your vehicle’s headunit and cannot be reused or returned. Please verify compatibility before purchase or contact us for assistance.

Perfect!
Amazing service, very responsive and quick turn around even over the Xmas period.
Straightforward installation with very clear instructions
Great value for money! Recommend

Works Perfectly Verified Purchase
Saved a fortune over the VW activation quote. The SD card arrived within 2 days, installation instructions were clear and simple to do. Took 5 minutes. Now I have Car Play at last in our Passat. Why did I not do this sooner! Game changer!

Works perfectly
SD card took 2 days to come and works perfectly. David was very helpful with providing clear instructions on what steps to take and I was able to install everything in 10 mins. Thanks a lot!

Flawless
Product was with me in a few days with easy to follow instructions for updating the cars software to enable CarPlay. VW quoted €300 so this service is a steal!

Worked perfectly, easy and fast to install…
They were extremely helpful with the order.
SD Card arrived in 2 days.
Installation and update worked a treat and was very fast and easy.
Less than 10 minutes in the car and we now have a first class Apple CarPlay USB phone connection with full easy ‘touch screen’ access to Waze, Audible, Messaging, WhatsApp, etc, etc.
Brilliant, less than 1/2 the price quoted by main dealers to 'Activate' CarPlay on my 2016 MK7 VW Golf GTE, all of whom insisted that they’d have to keep the car for the day and install extra hardware?
Thanks again, Simon.
