⚠️ 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.

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!
Sean Fox | Ireland | November 2024
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.

Perfect purchase
I’ve used this website previously for a maps SD card so I already had faith in their products, and yet again they didn’t disappoint.
Ordered Friday, delivered Saturday and installed within minutes using the instructions provided.
It works as expected, voice activated controls now work alongside all the other CarPlay apps. 10/10, would definitely recommend.
