Volkswagen Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit Kit (for MIB / MQB / RNS / 866 Host Systems, 2011–2020)

🧭 Product Overview

Upgrade your Volkswagen infotainment system with our Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit Kit, compatible with vehicles equipped with MIB, MQB, RNS, or 866 host systems from 2011 to 2020.

This retrofit brings modern smartphone connectivity — including Apple Maps, Google Maps, Spotify, calls, messages, and voice assistant — directly to your factory screen without changing the original head unit.
