⚠️ 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.

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.

CarPlay SD card Verified Purchase
David has been extremely helpful. Took me through why I needed to open the green menu before, they could send out a card. Once this was completed and pictures of the green menu sent the correct card was sent. Followed the instructions . Now my 2017 has CarPlay working very well with no problems.
Used in January for map updates and excellent customer service then as well
David thanks
