Wireless CarPlay

Do you think VW will have an update to the MIB 2 to support wireless CarPlay? I use it sometimes but if it was wireless I would use it all the time.

Reportedly they had Wireless CarPlay ready at CES this year but apple wouldn't let them show it off.

It won't be an update for ours. For wireless CarPlay to work the unit needs to have wifi capabilities. That's how wireless CarPlay works so maybe in a next gen info system but will not work via just an update for ours sadly [emoji24]

I thought the MIB2 had wifi capabilities? Or is the Discover Pro?

Is there a way to add aftermarket WiFi capability to MIBII? We need some of our electrical engineer/software engineer members to get to work on this

Thee is not. It does not have the required connections in the back needed. One of my cars does have the wireless car play in it and our radios do not have the needed connections in the back as the Pro does. The reason wifi is needed for wireless CarPlay is because the Bluetooth connection is not fast enough and it needs a wifi connection to do it

Aftermarket radio sorry should of said that and yeah BMW is the first to self]l a car with it even though VW tried to and Apple refused them. It works good but to me plugging in is just better. Faster and more responsive and to me I only use CarPlay on hour plus trips and that's when I plug my phone in anyway

MIB2 is already WIfi capable. At least mine is but I also have CarNet which required internet connection. I have connected MIB2 to my wifi in order to upload CarNet Data and also traffic info for the SatNav.
