Installing CarPlay and Android Auto in your Volkswagen is one of the fastest installations: VW's ISO/Quadlock connector is very standard, and almost all screens are plug & play. In this guide, we help you choose between Golf 5, 6, 7, Polo, Passat, Tiguan, Touareg, T-Roc, and others, and tell you what to look for (screen size, connector, CAN-BUS).
Quick answer: for VW, almost everything is plug & play: you order the screen specific to your model and year, connect it to the original connector, and retain steering wheel controls. The Golf 7 is the best-seller; for Golf 5/6 and Passat B6, there is a common screen that works for several VAG group models.
