× Your VW, Audi, Seat, Cupra, Skoda or Porsche came with CarPlay hardware already built in from the factory. It’s just locked by software — and the dealer charges a small fortune to flip a switch.
× You’ve probably seen this message on your screen:
“App Connect — The function can be unlocked with an activation code. Contact your dealer.”
× You shouldn’t have to pay dealer prices for something that’s already inside your car.
→ We’ve done this for over 500 cars across 12 European countries. The process is simple, safe and takes less than 60 minutes — and you never have to leave your home.

→ The result: CarPlay activated permanently. One payment. No subscriptions. No ongoing costs. Undetectable by dealer diagnostics.

No workshop. No tools. No stress. Here’s exactly what happens after you contact us:
Send us your car details via the form or WhatsApp. We confirm whether your car is compatible — usually within minutes. No payment needed yet.
Once confirmed and payment is made, install TeamViewer (free) on your Windows laptop and share the ID with us. We connect remotely and prepare a personalised activation file for your exact unit. Takes 20–40 minutes.
Follow our step-by-step guide. The activation takes about 20 minutes in your car. CarPlay & Android Auto are live — permanently. Done.
Your car already has the hardware. We unlock what’s already there — permanently, with no ongoing costs.
Every activation is priced based on your car and unit. Contact us first — we confirm compatibility and give you an exact price. Payment only after you agree.

I recommend them with a clear conscience! Great communication, customer approach, knowledge, and efficiency. You can really tell they know their stuff 🙂 This is the second car I’ve trusted VAG Soft with, and both times the level of satisfaction was exactly the same. Once again, I highly recommend them!!!
Simply amazing – they quickly solved an issue that the authorized dealership couldn’t handle. Highly recommended!”
Just had wireless CarPlay added to my Audi A6 C8 today. Highly recommended! The service was fast and professional, and everything works perfectly. Best regards!
Great communication! Had CarPlay unlocked in my Audi A7 in just 15 minutes. I have to highlight that another shop tried to give me some story about how difficult it is and why it would cost way more. These guys handled it effortlessly. I’m super happy – I’ll definitely be recommending them! 🙂
Don’t take my word for it… call this expert yourself. My 7-year-old Passat became more multifunctional in 30 minutes than it ever was! Finally, I have navigation running on the car screen instead of having my phone hanging from the air vent 😃 Modern cars are basically computers on wheels, and VAG Soft really knows how to tune them to your needs. Big thanks!!!
Just got Android Auto / CarPlay unlocked and maps updated at VAG SOFT – I’m beyond satisfied! Everything went quickly and smoothly. The guy who did the job (I’ve got a terrible memory for names, unfortunately 😅) clearly knows his stuff and does it with real passion. Definitely recommend!
I used their services for CarPlay activation and voice control in my VW Passat. Total professionalism, very good contact, and a fast turnaround. Recommended!
A solid company with people who truly know their trade. The service was fast, efficient, and straightforward. Excellent communication and customer care. Everything works exactly as it should, and the car gained new features that make it feel brand new 🙂 I highly recommend them!
Very efficient service and great communication. I recommend them to everyone, especially if you’re wondering if it’s worth it. A car with a working CarPlay system is much more effective and enjoyable to drive.
The service works on VAG Group vehicles from 2015 onwards — VW, Audi, Seat, Cupra, Skoda and Porsche — with MIB2 or MIB3 infotainment. Supported units: MHI2, MHS2, MST2, MH2P, MHI2Q, MS2P (MIB2) and MOI3, MEN2, MEN3, MHI3, MPR3 (MIB3). Fill in the compatibility form above and we’ll confirm within minutes.
No. The entire process is remote. You stay at home. All you need is a Windows laptop with TeamViewer installed and a 32GB SD card. We connect remotely and prepare the activation file for your exact unit.
The remote preparation session takes 20–40 minutes. The in-car activation takes around 20 minutes. Most customers are done in under 60 minutes from start to finish.
Yes. One-time activation, permanent unlock. No subscriptions, no monthly fees, no expiry. CarPlay & Android Auto will continue to work after software updates in most cases.
The activation uses the official software update pathway — the same method used by authorised dealers. It is not detectable by dealer diagnostics. We’ve completed 650+ activations across Europe. If you’re concerned about your specific warranty, we recommend checking with your dealer before proceeding.
We always verify compatibility before any payment is taken. If we confirm the activation can be done and something goes wrong on our end, we will resolve it at no additional cost. We do not take payment for activations we cannot perform.
Three things: a Windows laptop with TeamViewer installed, a 32GB SD card, and a photo of your software version screen. That’s it — we guide you through every step.
Payment is made after we confirm compatibility and you agree the price. We accept PayPal, Revolut, Stripe and Zen. You enter the agreed amount — no automated checkout, no surprises.
Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium and Portugal. Not listed? Contact us anyway — we may still be able to help.
Beyond CarPlay, we offer a full range of remote programming and diagnostic services — using our licensed GEKO and Porsche PIWIS tools. No workshop needed.
It starts with one question — is your car compatible? Fill in the form and we'll tell you straight away. No payment needed until you're ready to go ahead.
