When I activated the engineering menu, I saw in one of the sections that the app-connect function is not activated, and there is a possibility to turn it on. While that did not do anything, and decided to ask here. Do I need something else in addition to activate this function? (I mean app-connect for android smartphone).

What type of golf you have? Asking just for my information, don't know the answer. I sure would like to activate app connect without paying vw what is in regular equipment without paying extra.

As far i know (i wasn't log on correctly before as izo): At your vw dealer you can activate app connect by paying about 200€, but i'm not sure if they just activate software, which is allready installed or they install it additionaly.

While that did not do anything, and decided to ask here. Do I need something else in addition to activate this function? (I mean app-connect for android smartphone). You need to have as below: 1) MIB2 Infortainment unit - MIB1 is too slow, it was used in Golfs before 22 week 2015. 2) "App-Connect" icon must be present in main menu 3) Your car-usb port need to be "High Speed Apple capable", but if you don't have it just buy accessory 3G0057342A = cost 70 EUR (this link is for Discovery Pro, but other are available also, just look at VW website) 4) If then after click on "App-Connect" icon you see "Contact your dealer ....", you can activate function via accessory 5G0054830A = cost 200 EUR I'm not sure it is possible to activate "App-Connect" icon by green "Engineering Menu" - if anybody know please let know us. Greetings Jacko

I had mine activated at a cost 9d £250 from lookers teesside and i received another plastic case like the nav maps one. It looks like a one time use sd card is used to update the headunit and also an activation code which is specific to the cars vin. They did also have to replace my usb port as this was not compatible
